In fact, yes, I can draw. What I don't know is if tattoos are one of the things she allows in the temple that is her body.

Those are all great ideas! I've got slightly less than 24 hours to act on them...
She needs to calm down. A tattoo of the Hindu spiritual symbol, om, like this on my friend from Burma is in order.

Yeah. Could be ASCII for #.

(That's a pound sign to you young tashhag whippersnappers.)

Perhaps Morrobay's girlfriend was a Merchant Trader in a past lifetime? Maybe trading in soup?

OK maybe this tattoo is more appropriate for your rowdy lady:

In any event, Do not put this one on her. It won't end well.

She's a cutie, but I didn't understand what that 2nd tat was. The plant branch and the hand w/ ciggie. Or are those two separate tats?

Birthday has come and gone. Results are back in post #30.I have actually painted an unduly raucous picture of my friend. She is actually soft-spoken and gentle.
While drinking tequila, wielding her whip and riding her beemer.

For next time, think about this: https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/xena-reboot-to-make-originals-gay-undertones-explicit/news-story/5526b8d9fdee053fc969726002d74239 No, I don't mean that new series I ought to look up now, but the chakram! Now I don't suppose it works quite like on the show, but the Nihang ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihang ) used them back in the day with some benefit. I'm rather curious what ideas someone in modern times would come up with for using these.
