This picture was born of a challenge, 'If you can draw it, I can sling the ink!' taking this to heart, I drew a carousel horse of tatto-rific proportions. We have yet to find anyone who wants to wear it for life, but the art was enough to make the challenger think twice about daring me to draw something! :) Be sure to look closely for all the traditional tattoo elements: spiderwebs, tribal, a heart, skulls, peircings, a knife, a woman, 8 balls, Japanese waves, Love and Hate, flames, Celtic knotwork, a rose, a dragon, a cobra, wings, barbed wire, the Suites, and banners.

Ooh, ooh! I’ll wear it for life!

:-) Cathey Osborne replies: "I have a policy on tattoos: 1) Make sure you want to wear it forever; 2) make sure it’s done by a good artist (ink-slinger); 3) send me a photo of the finished work with your name, the name of the tattooist, the name of the shop is nice, and the city/state/county it was done in. I’m building a page on my website just to show off the tats and hopefully get more business for the tattooists. 12"

That...is...awesome. One of my pictures made it into the "Starving Carousel" tour as well, so I was looking to see what else was in it and this one made me doubletake. Awesome job!

:-) Cathey Osborne replies: "Thank you! I’ll have to go check out the others in that tour!"

I must say i wouldn’t want to sit on that...but it really is great and detailed! I love the patterns at its knees, too.

:-) Cathey Osborne replies: "Not that I am aware of.

really cool, it would be neat to see this horse on anctual carousel.

:-) Cathey Osborne replies: "When the Parade of Ponies people do a carousel group, I’m submitting it again. It was submitted for the Ponies, but was apparently deemed a bit harsh. Hrm... a Carousel of the Damned.... Sounds like a project in the making. 2"

i have to say this drawing is actually AMAZING, and if pretty much my ideal new tattoo! I have read your policy on tattoo’s (above^), and was wondering if I could have your consent? thanks!

:-) Cathey Osborne replies: "Make it so! 2 Please don’t forget the photo(s) and info, though. 2 If I run into my art on the street, it’s good to know who did it. 2"
