Whilst returning borrowed CD's from Wiltshire Library Services - Chippenham, today, I accidentally overheard (honest!) the 2 girls walking in front of me. The line which really snagged in my mind was, "So where didya get yer Hamster tattoo done?" Hamster tattoo? Excuse me? I've seen tattoos of many, many different things, all shown to me in public by their owners I hasten to add, but never have I ever seen a Hamster tattoo, not once. Which got me thinking, exactly how many people in the UK, and worldwide have Hamster tattoos? Are these figures collected in the census? Why would anyone want a Hamster tattoo? Perhaps a scientist on the verge of finding a cure for cancer who's research is dominated by the humble Hamster may have a legitimate reason, of sorts. I can tell you with absolute certainty and in the knowledge that I am not reading a book by its cover, that neither of these girls were research scientists. And where on the body are these Hamster tattoos....er....tattooed? Then I got to thinking, do some tattoo artists specialise in certain subjects? - y'know, like fire, lettering, celtic designs, lions, spiderwebs, Lucifer's love lizard, that sort of thing, and then took the next logical step and asked myself, and now you, dear reader, whether there is such a thing upon the face of this whole crazy, beautiful and warped planet as a Hamster tattooist? Discuss, research, and bring me proof.
Phew, been a busy day.
