Terrie's tattoo is a teaser to keep you tuned in while I go away for a four-day writers' workshop. I have pix of more tattoos than you can imagine. And I'll be starting to post these photos just as soon as I get back home again.

The Michigan Womyn's Music Festival is a veritable gallery of body art, especially tattoos. And when you see what these women choose to put on their bodies, you'll see why I wanted to focus my photographic energy on this particular project. No skull-and-crossbones there, just creative expressions of where these women have been in their inner & outer lives, and where they hope to go in the future.

While I'm gone you can see more of my festival photos by going to my brand new Michigan Womyn's Music Festival 2007 gallery. I've still got more photos to add, but this is a good beginning.

So please check back in. I'll be home by Monday night. Until then, dream of wild and wonderful images forever inked onto backs, arms, legs, bellies and even fingers.
