Creating A Bead To Match A Customer's Tattoo

Well, this was a new request for me. I had never been requested to make a bead to match an upcoming tattoo and I was should I say...tickled pink about it.

One of my longtime customers said she was planning a tattoo and wanted a pig to go with it. I was a little scared to ask where this tattoo pig was going to be residing, but it didn't matter, really.

Of course it drew a chuckle when I read her request. She is the type of person who would do this. One of my most creative custom order request-ers- she has asked for things like a Carmen Miranda Shoe Bead, red and green striped Christmas bees, a cherub with purple tipped wings, a doll, parrot and a lavender and purple ice cream cone and cupcake to mention a few. What a lot of fun for both of us.
