Two of my favorite topics in one place: ferrets and bodyart. I would recomend finding an artist who can draw you a simple ferret design exactly like the tattoo you would like, then finding a tattoo artist to use that design on you. The rec.arts.bodyart newsgroup is a good place for asking about tattoo artists in your area. There is also a FAQ for that group that lists some artists, and opinions of them. My husband has been thinking about getting a ferret tattoo for a while; that or an otter. Lela Gwydion and Circe [Posted in FML issue 1427]
