and is a green dragonfly. The de- sign was made for an ex-boyfriend’s metal band; somehow I got to think it was the only way to show my sup- port for his music. We split up a few months afterwards and I’ll have it removed once my baby is born. After that I had another horrible experience in Barcelona. I took a piercer course and started working for the meanest tattooist in the city. I worked all hours, got paid a misery and for my birthday he promised to tattoo me a pair of swallows on my chest. It was painful but the worst part was the result - they were huge and not symmetrical. Ugly things! I hated them from the moment I saw them. It was sad because they were meant to mean “eternal love”. Nowdays I have a cover-up in proc- ess in that area that is looking so great, it’s going to be a masterpiece: a big heart shaped clock with crow wings and roses. I love the design and as with most of my recent tat- toos, it’s created by J. Becerra, a very talented young Spanish tattooist who is working in Edinburgh city right now in Love Hate tattoo.

My first big piece was a Betty Page portrait on my left thigh and I adore it! I got a kiss mark tattooed at the bottom to add some colour and some leopard background and it’s lovely! I had it as a tribute to the model who recently passed away. I am planning to add a whip.
On my right ankle I have a tradi- tional style anchor with roses and a little diamond that says mummy. I had it done on Mother’s day a couple of years ago; mum didn’t like it at first but she did like how I had it done. My parents are totally against tat- toos, piercings and any kind of body mod...even dying your hair! Seeing me and my fiancé so inked up some- times just drives them mad. I’ve got two little skullbows in the back of my feet; they were one of the most painful tattoos so far and took forever.
