Cindy Paquette January 11, 2006

Well Tammy, from what I'm told "mad" is better than "wasted". Is this yours? #2275556

Michelle R. Kovach January 11, 2006

I was wondering the same thing Cindy was.
Great job Tammy! #2275605

Jack R. Perry January 11, 2006

I may be wrong Tammy, but doesn't her tattoo look like mistletoe? #2278101

Tammy Scott January 11, 2006

LOL! Yes it does! I guess I should have put that in the description. I went back and added it in. #2278132

Tammy Scott January 11, 2006

Thanks everyone!!! #2278133

Phil Sauvey January 11, 2006

Tammy,

That's funny! I have entered a few and walked out with a few, too. Not one of those but something I carry around with me to remember those visits. I see that area is getting quite popular with the girls. #2278328

Wendy Stevenson January 11, 2006

LOL LOL! Great shot Tammy - love the description:-) #2278338

Tammy Scott January 11, 2006

Awesome form, Tammy, or should I say "composition?" LOL - Love the spark of enthusiasm going on in here and the wonderful piece of advice! Great story telling image indeed!!! :o) #2278503

Candice C. Calhoun January 11, 2006

Beautifully photographed and presented, Tammy!

ccc #2278527

Linda Proctor January 11, 2006

Great image Tammy ! better than your son coming home with a dagger on his arm GRRRR #2278554

Kara L. Hendricks January 11, 2006

So I can't tell from the info. in this thread.. Is this a SP of sorts? It's a fine tatoo and a great shot!!! I here it's a painful spot to get one! #2278625

Martin J. Preslar January 11, 2006

Several points of interest here:
The photo: great lines, curves, and composition.
The model: I agree with Darryl, awesome form! :)
The tatoo: Fairly sexy and quite the conversation starter! ;)
The advice: I think I'll take the advice with the word 'mad' removed and just not go there! No need for middle aged, out of shape, expanding tatoos in the world! :)

Great discussion on this one! You caught peoples attention! :) #2278702

Mary N C. Taitt January 11, 2006

Jill Odice January 11, 2006

Ouch! It must have been a strange position to get into the photograph yourself if it's a SP :-) I'm sure you have left us all wondering "Inquiring Minds want To Know"....what is the whole story :-) #2278995

Richard W. Wyeth January 11, 2006

Nice detail in this shot, in terms of the models curves and tatoo. Mistletoe on your lower back...hmmm... I won't ask anymore!! LOL. Great photo. #2279024

Donna Roberts January 12, 2006

You go GF.....I too have a tattoo on my lower back but be rest assured I gave mine lots of thought and even designed my large tribal design. It was well worth all the pain and I am considering getting another......but mine wont be starring in my gallery though.....LOL!
Excellent capture Tammy.

JO ANN CLEVELAND December 01, 2008
