The $5-at-Goodwill-and-Sharpie interpretation of the costume Phèdre wore to the masquerade ball in Kushiel's Chosen. Thanks to Michael Stone for actually drawing the tattoo, and to Lisa Spitalewitz for much evil plotting. And to Laila Muller for the photo.

Incidentally, since the picture's black and white, I should probably mention that the dress is darkish red, the tattoo is black, and my hair is brown. Oh, and the earrings are dark blue. If you could see my wrists, they've got garnet satin cords on them, but they don't show here.

Unfortunately, the tattoo wore off in a couple of days.
