There are times when I think I'm the only woman in North America who does not have a tattoo. I suspect there are others but I haven't seen them lately. So, I've decided to join them - MY WAY! Hence my "invention" of
removable lace "tat"oos!

This another of
Donata Jones' patterns. She does not have the pattern for sale but you can buy the tatting in her
Etsy shop.

| As a bracelet |

| All done in Lizbeth, size 20 - med green and Grape Splash, Victorian Red, Royal Blue (which we just call Tardis Blue) |
 |
| simple hook for closure, no eye - makes them "sizeable" |

I have some black ones too and blacks pairs with colors but instead of taking pictures, I'm test-tatting! Wahoo!
Those are very eye-catching!
ReplyDeleteYet no one has stopped me and asked about them... (I'm doing a fair next weekend and hope to sell them) Sigh. There goes my "get rich quick" scheme.
DeleteI also do not have a tattoo. Maybe we're the last two "untatted" people in the world. : 0 Love the bracelet/anklet. Very cute.
ReplyDeleteThank you! We could have a little club- the two of us. haha!
DeleteI'm the third one.......
ReplyDeleteHaha! Well, looks like we'll have to get a convention!
DeleteA lot less painful than a tattoo too! Very pretty. I hope you'll sell some.
ReplyDeleteThanks- I'll have to get over the idea I'm going to "get-rich-quick" and just have fun!
DeleteI don't have any tattoos either, I at my age I won't be bothering, I like your version of a tattoo, at least you can change the colour as per whatever you are wearing and wash them in between, what could be better than a tattoo no pain.

I'm all for NO pain!
DeleteI love them!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI realize I'm now an old fogey, but I have never liked tattoos and don't understand the craze. Kids who freak out over 'zits' willingly add tattoos that look worse than blemishes. Those who have them to excess look like circus freaks. Brides often regret having them and try to hide them. I don't even have pierced ears! That also was not a craze back in the 50s. I also am not thrilled that the word tatting is becoming associated with tattoos. That said, I would consider these ankle tattoos very acceptable and more in line with ankle bracelets. I truly hope you do have good sales, as they are pretty and eye-catching and will appeal to women of all ages!
ReplyDeleteWell, you're exactly right! They are ankle bracelets but I thought it was a funny name. I am not charmed by tattoos either but that's just for me. As I get older, I find too many changes in my body to imagine what a tattoo might change to.
DeleteThat's awesome! It's kinda funny too that I just posted a tatted tattoo arm band on my blog last night. It was just a quick preview, and I'm still working on the idea. For the record, I don't have any real tattoos either.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I really liked yours too. It certainly looks more intricate.
DeleteI don't have any tattoos, either. (both my daughters do) I like your versions much better! I hope you do sell lots of them!
ReplyDeleteThey're pretty simple, that's for sure. Thank you!
DeleteThose are all so sweet!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, we're all liking them around here.
DeleteThese are great! And don't worry, I'm also "un-tatted"!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome to join our convention!
DeleteNo ink tattoos for me either. I love your idea of Tatted tattoos. I hope you have a really great sale. Just take some tatting along and have a great day no matter what
ReplyDeleteAnd two daughters and a Cindy Bluebird too! We're going to have a gas!
DeleteBuena idea y además combinaste muy bien los colores.A mi no me gustan los tatuajes.Besos.
ReplyDeleteThank you- I was pleased about the colors too. ¡gracias!
ReplyDeleteI confess that I was very beautiful and creative! Congratulations!
