The great tattooed lady

Mary loved the pictures on her skin the fascinated Mary, although she was scared they might come to life when she wasn't looking. Mary also loved the stories Jill told Mary about them but she didn't like to call her Jill she just liked to call her the great tattooed lady because the stories were brilliant all the images of dragons and butterfly's and flowers they all had a meaning and many stories to go with them.

Mary could never remember if the story changed or if it was a different image but she didn't care! Both the image and the reason were brilliant. They would both sit and talk over juice and biscuits or cake ig mum had made any.

Mary would draw with the great tattooed lady and often drew a wee picture on her arm or leg, but it would wash off after a bath. Neither Mary or mum minded, it just meant Mary could draw something different when the great tattooed lady came to visit again.
