I had always wanted
a tattoo but could never decide on what to have. Had toyed with the
idea of celtic arm bands, but wasn't sure. Then when I got to Goa
in 1994 the time seemed right as nearly everyone as the Rose Garden
Restaurant in Anjuna Goa was getting a tattoo done by Michelle Edge
who was doing them at her studio in Baga, near Nani's and Rani's
Restaurant. I had a few false starts but the final design I chose
was this one, an Aztec shield (or Sun emblem). (Although some say it is Inca and some say it is African).
I was convinced (by
Michelle) that a tribal style was best.
I have never regretted my tattoo, I have occasionally
thought of having another one, but I am so happy with the one
I have, what is the point? It is a shame that my wife keeps saying
that the face in the middle looks like Zippy (character from
an old children's program called Rainbow on UK TV)!
 This was about an hour after it was done, taken by Rayme back at the Rose Garden |
