Who Owns Your Tattoo?
In my DVD collection right now is the Hangover II. I still haven’t seen it. I know, I suck. The Hangover II always reminds me of Marisa over at Needles and Sins, and her fascinated interest with the dramatics between the film’s makers and Mike Tyson’s tattooer. Honestly, you read that. Go on, you can … Read more

Julie’s Frankenstein Tattoo
In a society that generally shuns the tattooed and different, Julie’s tattoo totally makes sense. I found Julie just doing my usual rounds of the WordPress blogs. This is Julie’s third tattoo. Frankenstein was a childhood obsession for me. sounds cheesy, but I guess I could relate to the fact he just wanted to be … Read more
