a sweet little tweet




thats it, im officially hooked. I desperately want another tattoo. I've been creeping around the internet looking at beautiful tattoos and getting envious about those who are covered in so many lovely designs.

Originally I wanted to get a fantail on my left arm to go with my little monarch sparrow.


BUT according to Maori myth if a fantail flies into your home you should expect a death. I shouldnt let this put me off but I think I have. i've decided instead to get a little green waxeye done because they are native to NZ (and australia i think...), are similar to a sparrow, and it was the first bird i saw close up when I returned to NZ from the UK.




all images were found either here or here
