Thanks. You do realize that now you have to show all of us pictures of
your own, right? ;-)

I know that it is considered _very_ bad taste to request a design that has
already been done on someone else, and a reputable artist with scruples
will refuse to ink an exact copy of another's custom work. That said, it
is beyond me also, why a person would want to imitate something so personal
that a stranger already has.
However, under the circumstances, I actually encourage others to "copy" my
design, using the basic elements for their own CoV tattoo. Obviously it
wouldn't say "Zloduska" (unless you want to be my psychotic stalking
doppleganger-- I'm still taking applications) so it would not be identical,
but otherwise I don't mind if one of the brethen want a similiar design.
In a way it's sort of neat that we could be spread across the globe but
still share this symbolic permanent body art as a community. A unity thing
indeed.
