MissMayhem

My name is May..I'm a nurse, and work the night shift and I love it!!

I live in a big house with my husband Will and our "kids." There’s 3 cats...Gratch, Bruce Lee and Wendy.. Then there’s two dachshunds..Jack (1 year old black and tan smooth coat mini) and Ned (7 month old red brindle smooth coat “tweener”)....They are crazy and I love them!

My favorite colors are blues, greens, teal, turquoise, black, hot pink, purple (especially dark purple). I love jewel tones!

I have 6 tattoos. Two on my right leg (a piece of tribal on my calf, and a tribal piece on my hip); 2 on my left leg (a sun and moon and a screwup); nautical stars on my left shoulder and "Lucky 13" on my right shoulder. I plan on doing more work soon. I would like a mexican sugar skull, or something similar and the words "memento mori" on the underside of my left arm...I'll be doing a lot of traditional americana style tats.

I love anything that is dark and scary. I'm talking about haunted houses, abandoned buildings, urban landscapes, haunted and abandoned ruins, castles and cemeteries. I also love architecture, especially Victorian, Tudor, Edwardian and Gothic. I love photographs in infrared...I also love Victorian tintypes and "death pictures" where they took pictures of the people after they died.
