So, searching tattoo designs on the ‘net tonight, since I am thinking of getting another one (I’ve been ‘thinking’ for months if not years, so we’re not talking imminent folks), when I stumble across this rather unique piercing:
What is your first thought when you look at this?
Mine? Crochet hook. I honestly thought “is that a crochet hook?” Does this mean I have a problem? Is yarn taking over my subconscious?
If you say no to that, let me tell you that my second thought (while still thinking it is indeed a crochet hook) was “awesome!” before my rational brain stepped in and pointed out that such a thing would be a) impractical, b) perhaps a little too odd for my tastes.

Agreed…pretty impractical and I’m sure uncomfortable! Although I like the tattoo on the earlobe 🙂
I wasn’t an industrial accident of some kind? I like the tattoo, too.
Lol, perhaps it was. But no blood, so I guess she decided to leave it in there? To each their own… I do like the tattoo. I was actually looking up ear tattoos when I found this, and I think it is a cute idea. Especially if I were to put a stud in the centre of the flower.
