ReplyDeleteI get it that this tattoo isn't real, but as a former figure drawing instructor I can say that I've seen hundreds of naked people, and that means hundreds of tattoos. But I've never seen a tattoo that I thought improved the natural look of the human body.
ReplyDeleteMis, it is fun. It means they are staying in touch.
ReplyDeleteStephen, while i support people's right to get them, i wouldn't want one myself. Mostly because i don't want to have to explain it to my grandkids someday.
