Tattoo Story – Tami: MudFlap Girls

I’ve always been a wanderer…never good at staying in one place for long. As a kid my younger brother and I spend summers with our grandparents traveling around in their Lincoln Continental dragging a silver Airstream from the top end of the East Cost to the bottom end of it. I remember seeing the “Mud Flap Girls” on the mud flaps of many 18 wheelers during all those treks. They were also two of the first woman I fantasized about as a lesbian youth.
These girls are a beginning of an eventual large back piece that I plan to one day start again. I’m into dragons and I have a neat drawing of a dragon riding a motorcycle I want to incorporate with a Lincoln Continental and Airstream also riding a highway away from the Mud Flap Girls, road signs (with special meanings), puffy clouds, and other things that speak to my wandering needs.
Anyway, just thought I’d share the tat I have right above my butt crack.

I would love to see your dragon riding a motorcycle drawing. I have been trying to come up with something after riding “The Dragon” this year. I promise not to steal it, just looking for some guidance ideas. please send me a copy to usseedjdw@yahoo.com
Thanks
