Dela Dejavoo is a Giant Bat. (I'll call her GB)

And here she is, flying around on her own hip:



You see, I wanted to paint her portrait.
As a giant bat.
I thought it would be best if i could paint her at the same time i was painting her portrait.
But body paint is just too temporary for some things.

Fortunately, GB and i had a recent conversation.

Auntie Matter: GB, It's been a decade since i've given a good stick and poke tattoo to anyone.
GB (looking at one of my self-given stick and pokes from eons ago): They are cute.
AM: I used to give them to my friends. Sometimes inside their mouths.
GB: Would You give me one?
AM: (face lights up) where? what?
GB: hmmm. maybe on my hip.
AM: Are you SURE you want me to disfig. . . i mean, give you a tattoo?
GB: Yes, i would really like that
AM: You do know it's permanent?!
GB: (rolls eyes). Um, yes. I would like you to do it. (we revisited this part for a number of days)

Needless to say, a picture of a bat was the obvious choice for a stick and poke tattoo on GB's hip. It was decided, after much deliberation, I would permanently paint the person known as dela dejavoo with her player portrait of a giant bat.

The proof photos show the whole process.

(Although Auntie Matter would like to point out that the step by step-ish photos are only for the purpose of documentation. She is not suggesting you should go out and give stick and poke tattoos to yourself or anyone else. Especially NOT if you are below the age of consent. There is NOTHING glamorous about stick and pokes and their dubious charms should be reserved for has-beens like herself who have not so much of a bright future to look forward to. There, I told you.)
