I really do need an e-reader! I think I might ask Santa for one, if I promise to be a very bad girl... what do you think...?

Today I'm highlighting two short stories available from The Wild Rose Press, both written by lovely friends and released a few months ago.




Blurb
Ellie Woods is in love...with a ship. When an argument with the ship results in a bump on the head, she finds herself in the strong arms of Alastair. But who is he and where did he come from?

Alastair has loved Ellie from afar for years, but duty has kept him from revealing himself to her. When a grave threat reveals his true identity, he hopes that Ellie will choose reality over fantasy.
A wonderfully different romance, Ellie is the only female Junior Engineer on her space craft and passes the time during her solitary shifts by chatting to the ship - which has its own unique way of answering back! I was completely intrigued by the mysterious Alistair and look forward to reading more about the fascinating Mates of the Guardians series!


KILT WORTHY by Catherine Bybee
Blurb
Peering at the world from behind her camera lens, "Plain Jane" Parker is stunned to see a handsome hunk wearing a kilt as he confidently strolls down a busy Seattle street. Her dormant libido roars to life even before their eyes meet. Aroused and intrigued, she tosses aside her usual caution and follows when Logan MacLaren beckons for a delightfully sinful one-night stand.

Logan is an exceptionally talented lover, wielding the abundant sword he sports beneath his plaid to deliver unparalleled pleasures. He reminds her to trust her instincts after reality proves they're a more perfect fit than either imagined.

Then Logan drops his bombshell: He's traveled through time to find her and wants her to stay with him forever...in medieval Scotland. Did Jane just have the most erotic sex of her life with a delusional crazy man, or is it truly possible for her one-night stand to last forever? 
Catherine's delicious sense of humour shines through in this steamy romance, told in first person by the self-conscious Jane. I thoroughly enjoyed how Jane and Logan (and his abundant sword... gotta love that line!!) were swept up in the exhilarating ride of finding their soul mate and falling in love, and watching how Jane discovered that she was truly... kilt worthy!

latest trend of tattoo design5 Should Women Choose Tattoo Arm Bands?The arm band tattoos has been generally seen as a very masculine design and can be found in the styles of tribal art, to lettering and are traditionally placed through the upper arm of a male.

There are small changes which can be made in the style of the Tattoo arm bands to make the style a little more suitable for a woman that has chosen to get a tattoo. Some of the small changes that can be made to the tattoo include decreasing the size of the tattoo. Most men that choose to have an arm band tattoo placed around their arm choose larger sizes, upwards of four inches throughout the arm, which can be a wide space between the shoulder and the elbow. For women, choosing smaller designs can be an effective way to reduce the size of the tattoo and therefore reduce the focus of the tattoo (as women often have a smaller arm space than men to work with).

Other changes that can be noted in the tattoo to reduce the masculine nature that is associated with an arm tattoo include choosing feminine designs that can be created throughout the tattoo. Choosing feminine designs such as delicate floral designs, or tribal designs which have an air of feminity to these designs can be an effective way to get the most from the tattoo while choosing the lightest designs possible.

Using color, rather than the traditional black tattoos is also a way to associated feminity with a tribal arm tattoo band – this can help to also create a more unique appearing tattoo.

my-first-tattoo-experience-new ...Getting a tattoo is a painful experience that generally involves a needle piercing ink into your skin. Taking care of your new tattoo is very important because as your tattoo heals, it is capable of picking up a lot of infections if not cared for properly.

The tattoo artist applies bandages to your tattoo, and will give you the appropriate amount of time to keep it on. It is strongly recommended that you listen to his instructions to avoid serious injury. When the bandages are ready to come off, you will need to wash your tattoo. This can be done in the shower if you want, as it is okay to get your tattoo wet. It’s recommended that you use something soft to wash your tattoo with, but it’s generally not recommended to use anything that is rough.

Your tattoo will no doubt become scabby, but it’s important to not pick at it or use any kind of lotions such as Neosporin or Polysporin. It’s best to place a warm cloth gently on the tattooed area and wait for the scabs to soften and peel off. All of these steps will be informed to you by the tattoo artist that does your tattoo. He or she will give you all of the necessary care instructions. It cannot be stressed enough how important it is to listen to the instructions given to you.

Do not assume that you know what you are doing when dealing with tattoo care, it is important to follow all directions that have been offered by the tattoo artist.

Care for a New Tattoo


tattoo-bride-photo-by-nahpan- ...Since the majority of tattoos are done in the summer time, the big question you would ask is if it is safe to expose the tattooed area to the sun. Needless to say, tanning and major sun exposure is never good for your skin, especially with the problems with the environment and Ozone layer. A tattoo makes your skin even more fragile and gives the area an increased risk of developing skin cancer and other related skin issues.

Aside from the health risks associated, the sun will also fade your tattoos colors. This doesn’t necessarily mean you have to avoid the sun altogether, but you will notice your tattoo becoming less vibrant the more you stay out in it. It won’t fade completely, but will lose a lot of the bright colors that were done originally.

Brand new tattoos are in even more need of cover up than ones that are older. It’s recommended that you keep it covered with no sunlight allowed to reach it for at least the first 3 months after getting it done.

Naturally we don’t want the tattoos we get to keep us out of the sunshine, so there are ways around it by using a few methods of protecting your new tattoo. Like most people, it is important to use sunscreen. SPF 30 and higher is the best to use, and perhaps just keeping a thin bandage on the area while waiting for it to completely heal. There are other ways to protect your tattoos, just research it a bit more!

Avoid Sun Exposure With Your Tattoo?

You will want to thank me for NOT posting any drunken Fat Tuesday entry. Seriously.

So what is one to do when suffering from an all-day hangover? But of course … get a new tattoo. Three hours in the excellent care of Bonnie at Goldie’s Southernmost Tattooing, and here’s the result.

1449781595 6d25c5eaa4 More Benefits of Choosing Henna Tattoo DesignsThe benefits of henna tattoos are many, compared to the permanent costs of real tattoos that are inked into the skin. Through the many benefits that can be seen, it seems that more and more people are taking advantage of henna tattoos.

Henna designs are not only as great looking as traditional tattoos, they are also less expensive. Did you know that most tattoo artists charge upwards of one hundred dollars per hour that is spent tattooing? Other premium tattoo artists can charge upwards of several hundred dollars per hour for time that is spent designing the tattoo and placing the tattoo on the body. Through the work that is required through these tattoos, some tattoos can cost thousands of dollars to be applied to the body, where henna tattoos can often be applied for as little as twenty dollars for designs which are just as intricate as those that are inked on to the body by popular tattoo artists.

Aside from the cost effectiveness of choosing a henna tattoo, these types of tattoos are perfect for those that are unsure about which tattoo that they are seeking. In some cases, an individual may be unable to choose between multiple designs or the individual may be simply unable to determine which type of tattoo would look best through the various parts of the body. Through the henna tattoo designs that are available, it can be simple to find the tattoo you are looking for, have it placed on the body and be able to change your mind about the placement.

Henna tattoos are a great choice for those that are unsure about their tattoo design or the placement, as the tattoo is present on the body for only a few weeks, compared to being present on the body for a lifetime.

tribal What is the Meaning of Popular Tribal Tattoos?Popular tribal tattoos come with a variety of meanings, most of which can be traced back hundreds of years through the interpretations of culture through the ancient Polynesian tribes and other tribes throughout the world who used these markings to differentiate among the people within the various tribes. Mostly, the tattoos were used to allow members of the same tribe to easily recognize one another through the various activities in which the individuals would undergo through normal daily life – as well as interactions with other tribes.

There are certain aspects of the tribal tattoo which can be hard to create, especially for tattoo artists that are not extremely familiar with creating these tribal works of art.

Meaning of Popular Tribal Tattoos?


bigtribaltattoodesignrm4 How to Choose Black Tribal TattoosWhen it comes to choosing tattoos, black tribal tattoos are one of the classic designs that are also the most modern – as well as one of the most popular choices for men, as well as women.

There is one difference in the tattoos that are inked on men, and the tattoos that are inked on women – when it comes to choosing tribal designs. The tattoos that are most popular for men include those which are large pieces, throughout the arms, chest and even full sleeve designs, whereas the tattoos that are chosen for women are similar in design through the tribal pattern and the use of one color, but they are often smaller in size and placed on different parts of the body.

For example, one of the most popular places to have the tribal tattoo for women includes through the lower back, with designs that are often incorporated into designs which are present throughout the tattoos. The tribal piece is often used in combination with other pieces, including the use of butterflies and other girly tattoos to create a piece of art that is modern and edgy like the tribal tattoo, but also a piece that is girly when combined with the other designs that can be seen.

The most popular color that these tattoos are created from is black, as they make a striking appearance once the tattoo has been filled with the dark color. Although other colors may be used in the designs, the majority of tribal tattoos are bold and simplistic, with the lines, as well as the filling within the tattoo being completely black.

These day's women have different opinions on the type of tattoo design which they consider sexy. In this article I will discuss a few tattoo designs in particular which continue to remain a popular choice amongst females.

Here are my picks for 3 sexy tattoos for females:

Sexy Ankle Tattoos -
Ankle Tattoos have remained a popular choice of tattoo for females over the past few years and are considered by many to be very sexy. These tattoos are often inked in the areas from the lower calf all the way down to the ankle and come in a variety of different designs - such as ankle band tattoos, and ankle rose tattoos. Ankle tattoos are popular amongst females, mainly because they are easy to hide if necessary i.e. in a work place where tattoos are not allowed, but also shown off when you want it to be - such as by wearing sandals.

Sexy Small Tattoos -
Small tattoos are another favorite amongst females, especially stars, butterflies, fairies and love heart tattoos. People think that small tattoo designs may be hard to notice and not have an impact, but this is not true. Small tattoo designs, placed in the right area of your body can have a huge impact and are an extremely sexy tattoo choice.

Sexy Lower Back Tattoos -
The lower back area of the female body is considered an incredibly sexy area and therefore perfect for a sexy tattoo design. Here are some ideas for a lower back tattoo: a tribal design, a butterfly or fairy with its wings spread out. Other suggestions are an image of a rose or love hearts inked in red.

Remember, taking the time and effort to choose a tattoo is very important if you want to get a stunning design.

Many people that get tattoos tend to regret it years afterward and by using tattoo ink removal methods they want to get these tattoos removed. There are many different ways of getting rid of a tattoo and some methods can work better than others, even so the most popular ways is by using laser treatment.

There is also a wide variety of ink removal creams and ointments available but depending on the type of tattoo you have, including size, color or multiple colors, these treatments may not remove the tattoo completely and can leave a faint mark on the skin where the tattoo once was.

Sometimes it is also very complicated to remove a tattoo completely even when using laser treatment and this treatment can also leave your skin scarred. This is because modern technology has advanced even in the tattoo industry and it has made the ink even more resistant than it was ten years ago.

Most tattoos can be removed completely and it is only a rare exception when one does not come off one hundred percent. There are however more and more professional tattoo artists that are capable of tattooing the ink so deep into the skin that there is a very low possibility of the ink being removed completely.

If you have a tattoo and are thinking of getting it removed without having to use laser treatment, it is a good idea to speak to your doctor or to a local dermatologist and ask them what is the best type of treatment for the tattoo removal and also what is the best treatment for your skin.

If you do prefer to under go laser treatment to get rid of the tattoo, find out what precautions you have to take and if the risk factor for your type of skin and tattoo is high or low. Many people who have very sensitive skin tend to scar after they remove a tattoo using this treatment.

As a member of the arachnid family, the scorpion has a massive amount of species. While its beginnings aren't completely known, there is evidence that they are over 400 million years old. In Greek Mythology the scorpion represents the military-like readiness, seen in its quick bite and poisonous results. Constellations have been named after scorpions, and represented in Astrology. It's no wonder that many enthusiasts today desire obtaining scorpion tattoos.

Whether a representation of your zodiac sign, Scorpio, or as a reminder that death walks with us everyday, it's presence on your skin permanently is an everyday reminder of what the creature stands for.

A sense of power and healing come from the scorpions segmented body. Many believed that they represented healing and protection for the dead. Some cultures even believed that warriors were reincarnated as half-human half-scorpion to defeat their enemies with their combating expertise. It is also believed that this creature was the reason for the death of Orion, who is now seen in the constellations. Whatever your beliefs, this creature conveys death and life, pain and healing.

Many individuals get tattoos today and often enough the meanings behind their art run beyond skin deep. Mothers mark their bodies with permanent representations of their children, loved ones, or lost ones. The daily reminder seen on your body is, to some, a truer depiction of their love and admiration. Not to mention the honor involved. Pain inflicted by the tattooing needle, the time and effort into the creation of the art, all have a lasting affect physically and mentally. Some find solace and peace resulting from their body art.

Once the decision has been made to have a depiction of this arachnid on your body, a proper representation must be found. Online resources are the best to get an idea of what you want. The Zodiac sign Scorpio could be a choice, or battling creatures, poised and ready to strike, or rising from the ashes; the options are endless. With over 2,000 different species, you might want to look for a version that you are most familiar with. There are, however, different colors, shapes, and sizes to choose from.

Online research will prove to be your best bet when finding the right representation of the arachnid. Sometimes tattoo shops will allow you to bring in your own depiction you want, but they might not be able to get the representation correctly. Therefore, look into online sources, often requiring payment, for their printable and transferable images. Print and stencil, that's all you need to do! They are easily used in a parlor and you are sure to get an exact match. There is nothing worse than getting inked, and not liking the outcome. Removal is expensive, so that's why you need to make sure your decision is a correct one. Doing proper research will ensure this.

Now for the location of the tattoo; where will you put it? The ankle, lower back, upper arm, and hip are common choices, especially for women. If your true intention is to see it everyday, then placing it on your back might not be a good idea. Some employers might be weary of employing someone with multiple tattoos visible to the public. Thinking of your future career should be taken into account. Times are changing, however, and society is starting to recognize the art in the depictions and also the overall acceptance that millions have tattoos.

Getting scorpion tattoos on your body can be your constant reminder of peace, death, and healing. Be one of the millions to get inked, and join the club! Just make sure you decide on the right depiction, because you don't want to have to go through the process of removal. It's expensive, painful, and can leave hideous scaring.
