Reader Art
On 28th June '07 I received a rather brilliant request in the Black Tat Guestbook. Lauren, from (woah!) "behind my couch" apparently(!) said, "You should add a fan art page." Well, here you go: over to you!
If Black Tat has inspired you to create something visual and you'd like to share it, then the WebSphinx and I would certainly love to see it. Simply scan your artwork, and email jpgs to this address: readerart@theblacktattoo.com
The best work will go up here on this page for the whole world (or whoever comes to the site, anyway!) to appreciate and enjoy. Meanwhile, to get the ball rolling, here are three excellent pieces I was lucky enough to be presented with on my last visit to Elizabeth Garrett Anderson school, last February. An enormous thank you to Wing Tung (left), Kelly (right) and Ebru (below).
...And here for your delectation is a hand-knitted Chinj, as created by my staggeringly talented friend Elaine. It was presented to me at the Black Tat launch party, on Sept 1st 2006. Check out those hand-stitched pink chin-dribbles: genius. ;)

Took me, like, 2 hours, though. Dx
The Sharpies. Antagonizing. -.-;"
21st Aug '07: ...And here are two extraordinary pics I just discovered while shamelessly snooping on correspondence between Jagmat and one of his new friends, the mysterious and talented Tunc of Noord-Brabant, in the Netherlands. The first one, entitled 'Passing the Time', gives you an eerily truthful impression of how nervous interviewing Jagmat used to make me. As for the second, 'The Return of the Scourge', who ever would have guessed that Khentimentu was such an enthusiastic dancer? [Thank you, Tunc – these are amazing!]

Hope for a reply and thank you very much for reading this.
