Skin & Ink

Tattoos...Some unique, some average,
some grotesque, some saddening and some...
beautiful. 
I don't have any tattoos but I am drawn towards 
the ones that tell a story; like remembering a loved one,
overcoming an addiction, celebrating the birth
of a child...When a person points to their
own tattoo and a story comes pouring out...
 I like that. 
"A genuine tattoo.... tells a story.  I like stories. No matter how well done, if they don't tell a story that involves you emotionally, then they're just there for decoration, then they're not a valid tattoo. 
~Leo, tattooist, 1993 
"A tattoo is a true poetic creation, and is always more than meets the eye."
 ~V. Vale and Andrea Juno

"For someone who likes tattoos, the most precious thing is bare skin."
~Cher
