OZ

So I've become a little obsessed with one of my favourite Childhood films recently, a b-movie from the 80's, Return To Oz.
So much so I have considered re-writing a modernised version of it, but then decided it would be one. too depressing and two. not very original. I also managed to get hold of a decent copy of the soundtrack, which is currently on amazon for around £50, which was ace. Its so moving and creepy at times, I adore it.
One of my favourite scenes is at the start of the film where Dorothy finds the Oz key on the ground with the chickens. She gets really excited and tries to show Aunt Em but shes not interested. I always wished I could find a key somewhere like that when I was little. So then I have the brainwave to get a tattoo of it around my ankle, much like Belina the Chicken wears at the end of the film around her neck, on a green ribbon. A symbol of escapism that is always there for me.

I went to the tattoo shop in weymouth, but then wanted around £70 for it, and that was without the anklet. Which was absurd, so I found out the guy that did my last tattoos has recently moved to Street and I went and got it done by his very new apprentice Kye (who was astonishingly good considering hes been tattooing for just three months!) And he offered to do it for a much more reasonable £45. So I went ahead, not really taking into consideration the foot is one of the most painful places to have one. The pain was excrutiating at times but I persevered, I'd come this far. It took around 40 mins to complete, lots of clenching and shaking but I was very impressed with the work, and luckily he had gotten the key the right way around so the symbol at the top of the key spelled "OZ".
I'm well pleased with it, and content with the fact I'm probably the only person that will see it for now, but I can't wait to run along the sand with it in the summer and receive (I hope) lots of suprized comments!

Heres a pic, hope you like it!
