Hi, Well, as a man with a "full sleeve" myself my only comments would be that women don't tend to have loins tattoo'ed on them, Blackhearted's stuff is far more accurate in that respect :) As for the colour, well, it's a myth to think that all tattoo's are edged in black, and consists soley of bright primary colours. Some of the new "fine line" work that people are having done these days, especially from the new breed of tattooists, fresh from art schools, are capabale of emulating photography, and as such "block colour" is far less the rule than it was. One of the most amzing tattoos I ever saw was a "watercolour" underwater frieze of a rainbow trout swimming through the vegitation. It was on a man's calf/shin, but no less remamrkable for it. the detail was incredible! later jb
