    Delanne

    holy cow! haha… I didn’t even know that this was up on modblog!

    Yeah, like Max said, 2 artists at the same time, so about 12 hours worth of work in half the time. 😉

    The best tattoo I have so far, deffinitely. Jeff and Tim are awesome.

    Oh my, a lovely tattoo on a very lovely girl.

    Where’d my comment go? 🙁

    The tattoo is amazing, and I also had a useless fact to share: chameleons like to think that their camouflage is perfect. If people stare at one for too long, rather than pretending not to see it, it goes into a deep decline.

  30. gillian gamine Avatar

    wow, that’s awesome, both the tattoo and number 27′s comment. so if i stare at my friend chris’s chameleon karma, will he get lizard-style depressed?
