I just wanted to show you some of my son, Mark de Mortimore (Oliver)'s tattoos.
They make him look big and bad but he's really just a teddy-bear! "With the teeth and claws to back it up when necessary", he says.
I don't know how he stands the pain, but with a lot of the tatts, especially the ones on his head, he went to sleep whilst being tattooed.
One down note was that the tattoo on his left hand almost cost him his hand - the tattooist changed his ink, and didn't tell him. Mark had a severe allergic reaction to the new ink and his hand swelled up like a balloon - the doctors at the Emergency Dept were very concerned about it and did lots of tests, but luckily after a few days the swelling started to go down - it has, though, left the back of that hand with little flesh under the skin.
I'm not mad about the tattoos, but Mark's an adult so the choice is totally his and lately I've been finding tatts that he might like, how weird is that?
