This is Shirley Harvester from Julian PA. She showed me her new tattoo when I was set up at 'People's Choice Festival in Boalsburg, PA. I am so flattered that she liked the piece of jewelry that she bought from me last year that she had the image tattooed on her arm as a birthday gift to herself. This lovely lady was rocking her new tattoo!!!
