If I were to ever get a tattoo (sometimes I am tempted, but am so fickle that anything involving permanence freaks me out) I would want it to look something like this lovely little fox, a marginal drawing in Gerald of Wale's 'History and Topography of Ireland'.
(ps the British Library's online gallery of illuminated manuscripts in wonderful)
That's really nice! Funny that you mention it, too, because I'm probably going to get a tattoo next month. I'm yearning for something permanent.
ReplyDeleteThat is exciting, do you know what of yet?
ReplyDeleteooh, those foxes look excellent! especially that blue one! i've also been thinking about a tattoo lately, but i'm not sure i can handle the commitment.
