> Hello Frank,
              I don´t know if it´s just me, but I found this one not so easy to relate to. The intro feels a bit long and not too relevant except insofar as it partly explains why the tattoo causes a nauseous reaction, and even that seems a bit unlikely really. I also found it quite difficult to visualise the early description of the tattoo. It´s  described as `pale´ yet later it´s fire-red and blue, and why are they pale and thin now if they were really something when she carved them. I find myself getting a bit lost in this part of the account. It´s also possible that I´m missing something here, of course. Hope this helps.




Best wishes,   Mike
