This is a tattoo inspired by the Trillogy of 'kushiel's Dart'. In the Book courtezans have a debt to pay for the training they get in languages, Mathematics, and of course tricks of the trade. It's based in a kind of Eurpoean setting where they've hit the peak of the renaissance. Each Courtezan, Male or female, has a mark to show thy've achieved their goals and paied off their debts. The 'mark' is a full length back tattoo that best discries the person's physical beauty. Someone with silvery hair, green eyes, and dances would go best with a Willow. Or someone with brown eyes, black hair, and that likes sudmission would go best with a Rose. Well Mine's a 'lionFly'. I love Fae, I'm sometimes a little too Fragile, and I'm a bit of a perfectionist. My hair is Brown and my eyes are brown (But most tell me I have Doe eyes). Just have a look! I haven't colored it yet because I have alot of differnet ideas, but I know what I want and so I've drawn the base for it. :D

Well, then I'll just simply _have_ to add one! And begin with how elegant this is, and beautiful in its simple complexity... I also like the concept for this picture...
Simply beautiful! Thank you for sharing it!

I wanted to nit pick your description for a moment, as an avid fan of the books. "The 'mark' is a full length back tattoo that best discries the person's physical beauty. Someone with silvery hair, green eyes, and dances would go best with a Willow." Marques most of the time are not what would 'go best' with the person. If they were an adept trained outside of the confines of the Night Court, then yes, but as 90% of adepts at least would be trained within the Night Court, and therefore belong to a House, they would get the marque that went with that House. I.e. an Eglantine adept would get a marque of eglantine flowers.

Now, onto my critique. This well done, I like the composition of it quite a bit. I could picture this as a marque, the finale and all. I see nothing wrong with proportion or anything of the like, the lines are well drawn, etc. I would like to see a colored version, perhaps in CG or watercolors.

12 Claudia Marlene Meisters replies: "Ahh... I stand... more defined. Thank you. 1 I'm glad to see that you apreciate it actually after the little description. I'm flattered, and a little embarrassed about the faux paux (again ((SP?). Thank you again... I'm awaiting the next book Jaqueline writes next!"

Wow, that's really pretty. If you would be so kind as to give me an idea of a 'marque' for myself? If u will, u can email me. I'd really appreciate it. I want to get a tattoo that depicts me best.

61 Claudia Marlene Meisters replies: "Wow I have to reply more often... YES if you're still interested I'm happy to help you make a "marque". I don't know who you are though... so reply soon! and I will too... promise!"

A bit odd that.
Lovely art, and would make an excellant tattoo.
Strange though, my name is Jamie Charbonneau
odd to meet two Charbonneau's on the same post, eh?

1 Claudia Marlene Meisters replies: "Thank you! and I think, the more the merrier!"
