"After five frustrating years of not being able to see my only tattoo I decided to get one on my forearm so I could see it. In some Celtic mythologies the Hazel tree is a symbol of wisdom. My mother had given me a pair of comedy and tragedy mask earrings when I was a teenager and I often wore them when I performed. I wanted to combine both elements into the tattoo. I brought Trevor pictures of Hazel leaves and flowers, and a book that had a fanciful drawing of entwined Hazel shrub branches. After some discussion he marked out the parameters of the design on my arm with a pen then began the tattoo. He drew this freehand on my left forearm in just over three hours."
