Red Region Tattoos

It's always good when people come around and I see their aged tattoos. Posting freshies isn't as cool because that isn't what the darn things really look like. This one is a wrap, but didn't want to post seven pics at once, so I'll post it as a mini reel/vid later when I get the time to make it. A funny thing with this tattoo... the client supplied much of the art and I just messed with it to make it all blend because it was a hodgepodge of different styles from various sources. We'd already done the demon face before either of us realized it was most likely Mazikeen.

The client was nice enough to stop in to show me her healed piece when she was in the area.
A tattoo isn't done till it is healed out a while in my mind.

I recall when I was doing this that in my head I was singing a song.
Swinging on a Star by Bing Crosby.
When I think of that song I always end up thinking of the 90s movie Hudson Hawk.
Super serious movie staring Bruce Willis and Andie MacDowell.

Here is the lyrics...

Would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule?
A mule is an animal with long funny ears
Kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny but his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
You may grow up to be a mule
Or would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a pig?
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He has no manners when he eats his food
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig
Or would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a fish?
A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook
He can't write his name or read a book
To fool the people is his only thought
Ha, and though he's slippery, he still gets caught
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
You might grow up to be a fish
New kind of jumped-up slippery fish
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo
Every day you meet quite a few
So, you see it's all up to you
You can be better than you are
You could be swingin' on a star.
