Jeri, I think someone does make silicone wires for earrings. And don't think a tattoo is too complicated - there are some fabulous artists out there doing some absolutely phenomenal work. Next time you're at a bookstore, flip through some of the tattoo magazines. A picture I recently saw, was a full-back tattoo of the Hermit from the tarot deck, overlooking a city. Pretty incredible.

I'm hoping to get an old tattoo refreshed after Christmas, if I have a little money. :-)
