chest. There, in a full color tattoo, was my “Bell Mare”, reaching almost clear across her body. The woman’s name is Emma, whom Chuck had come across her at a blacksmith conference on Mt. Hood. She had overheard a conversation that led her to believe Chuck might know me, due to our mutual ties to Wallowa County. I met Emma sometime later. It came out that she was quite concerned as to copyright infringement. I assured her that, despite her fears, I was content to lend her the image. I felt honored that someone would find something that I had made, so compelling as to have it tattooed on her body, to wear every day for the rest of her life. I only hope she never regrets it. And it beats a billboard all to hell!
