Hello all, sorry to be so late to reply but in the traditional "plan a vacation, get a job" fashion, I have 2 jobs I need to do by this week... so I'll try and catch up next week!
My tattoo artist was Gilles... here is a link to his website. I just kept asking people whose tattoos I liked, they all seemed to have been done by him.

I'll post pics of the tattoo eventually too.
My whole family has the bug... we all talk about "next time" already, whenever that may be. I really can't think of any real negatives. Even the coffee wasn't THAT bad... once I discovered they had soy milk and that I could get my standard soy cappucinos I was in heaven.
Wandra is absolutely right about the "no shorts after 6" thing... people just gradually changed and the atmosphere on the deck gradually changed and it was really nice to see people appearing spruced up for dinner, with skin glowing from the day.
Also, the one time we ventured off the ship for a meal, ($$$!!!) on Moorea, on the way to get my tattoo, one of the girls from the ship took us to a wonderful pizza place called Allo pizza... kind of near where the tender docks, off to the right. We had a pizza with fresh pineapple. Expensive, but worth it!
Sigh! Have a great time!
