KirstyJeffery’s tattoos are going to look amazing when they’re all done! These were done by Alex at Midnight Tattoo Studio in Seaford, East Sussex, UK.

  1. I saw these updated somewhere — I guess on her IAM or the main page, and they are absolutely wonderful! Are you going to do both legs, all the way up?

  3. Sorry, but I don’t really understand the tattoo… Can somebody explain it to me ? Thanks.

  4. Fins or flippers, curled inward from what I see.

    I will reserve judgement until they are finished because as I see them now they don’t leap out at me that much.

    However the idea is rather a good one in my opinion.

  5. i don’t understand it too much either. i can see where its coming from, but if I’m looking at it right it doesn’t stand out special to me. great idea though, i will wait to see when finished!

  9. Oooooh, I like these very much. The ’salmony’ colour is gorgeous.

  10. Y’see I think bluey green would have worked better, for me at least.

    And maybe Tom Hanks next to them.

  11. Such a cool idea!

  12. i love that!

  13. I enjoy these a lot and will anticipate seeing the finished product. For the people who are confused, take into concideration that this is only a section of the final, I’m not so sure what else to say seeing as its not all that hard to figure out.

  14. I love them! Can’t wait to see them finished.

    Also, Giles Wallwork, I ditto on the Tom Hanks.

  17. Very pretty but doesn’t look all that fishy to me.

    Fred on August 31st, 2007 at 4:33 pm
  18. it does look nice. if you look from a top view and ignore that she has toes…it would look like shes got a mermaid tail. but if youre just looking from the side…well…its not gonna look much like one. silly humans

  19. I think they’re lovely.

    Jezsh on August 31st, 2007 at 5:45 pm
  20. I really like these! Great idea. I’d love to see an updated post when they’re finished.

  24. Those are fucking awesome.

  25. Nice!
    …On an unrelated note, I also enjoy the back piece at the top of the page! Yay for Central American art! Has anyone ever noticed how much the center of the Aztec Calendar looks like the BME characterizations? just a random observation…

  26. They make me think of sushi!

    beth on September 1st, 2007 at 1:22 am
  27. Very cool idea. They remind me of Elayne Angel’s mermaid legs! Picture: http://www.ringsofdesire.com/angel-poster.html

  31. What a beautiful thing to wake up to on my birthday! I love it.

  32. I was always a fan of the colouring of Darryl Hannah’s tail in Splash, so I think the colour is just right. Great design too.
