Dug this out of a sketch book.
Instructions on how I came up with the formal aspects of the print/ tattoo.
Actually made me consider show a sketch I have and the instructions for the prints.
This could add an interesting dimension, or help exposé the prints. If I want that.
Never the less defiantly will do more digging around for info on armouring.
Found this on my web page.
I think combining this statement and the text from the sketch book may be shed light on what I was up to.

Instructions for Printmaker Dax Morrison and Tattoo Artist Amber Thorpe
The shape of the tattoo is determined by its position on the body.
The design will be applied to my right chest.
The size of the tattoo is determined by the number of prints in the edition and the duration of the printing process.
Impressions are to be taken from my freshly tattooed skin in an edition of ten. Black ink will be used because of its stability as a pigment.
