I loved this so much. I've been mulling a tattoo for a little while now: a box with a sheep inside, like the one from The Little Prince. Maybe this'll be the year I finally get it.

Ah thanks Phil! Come down to London if you need your hand held through it! (It doesn't actually hurt very much.)

Ah I love these tattoo stories. Love them! Can I tell you mine? It’s so crap it’s worthy of a minute or two. It was 1995, I was 15, I saved up my school dinner money (because; anorexia) and asked the tattoo artist what the cheapest tattoos were. He showed me a wall of small flowers and I chose a rose. Only a decade or so later did I consider that my name being Holly, well, a rose was a thoughtless choice.

Oh that made me giggle! It is a classic though... Where did you have it?
