When you die can you donate your body to pseudo-science?

To each their own but that is a little over the top for me.

Um, WOW

While again I have to say, more power to ya?? I personally would rather cut out my eye!
I am a professional in my real life, and that does not look like you could wear a light blouse and it not show through!
While it is grand to do such a gesture???? What happens when one is 40 and saggy? Or worse changes hobbies?!!

I could see a little thing tastefully done but ......while that is a nice tattoo.....it makes me shudder to think of the future.
My Mom works with Brides all the time you don't know how many come in tears because of something they had tat'd on their bodies 10-15 years before that will totally make the gown they want out of the question, unless they know a makeup artist to help...or take the time and money to get the things taken off.

But it is impressive the colors are glorious and it does make a statement. I guess I am more conservative....

LOL!

I was prepared to bet it was a photoshopped pix and then I thought I'd better do some research first, and so I found what appears to be the owner's blog.

Anyone interested can read it here.

While it's not something I'd do, I've got to give the girl credit!

Kahlan Rose

wow thats all that I can say. I have one tattoo  at this time, and not a lot of people can or have seen it. She has courage, and I think the colors are gorgeous!

As a friend of mine said upon seeing that picture "You'd thing a seamstress would choose something with a more flattering neckline!"

Really, if you can't even wear a spaghetti strap top and show it off...

WHOA! At first thought "photoshop" as well. And I thought I was obsessive about my hobbies. Though it's certainly not my thing, that's some nice work there. Love the colors, and those scissors are cool!

If it is real....I think it glorious.

As I am both a fan of sewing and tattoos.  I have 6 tattoos of my own placed where I can still look nice for work.  But I dont think that I would ever tat that onto my skin.  But I have seen people make themselves a worse coloring paper than that, so I guess its not all that bad.
May the stars always shine upon you and yours.

I am a big wus. No tatoos here and no desire to get one. All I can see when I look at her tat is...oh my and look at all that still needs to be filled in....ouch!!

Impressive work. Love the tape measure. That would have been enough for me.

Mythrin

My daughter is a theatrical make-up artist and told me that she has had to train, many, many, many people to cover their tats so they can get gainful employment.  I would think that one would sure influence a potential employer......

when one is old and saggy does it really matter what there tattoo looks like? your whole body looks bad at that point not just your tattoo. at least people will look at her and say "damn i bet she was fun when she was younger"

while not something i would get, i can respect any tattoo. they are supposed to be personal and have meaning to the wearer. at least she did not just pick something off the wall. the colors and details are great, the artist did a nice job.

Yes, I sew, but I am with Anna on this...no tattoos for me and would never want one. My first reaction to this is EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
And 40 isn't "old" either. I am way past that age. Or maybe some people think I look old, but most don't.

I personally LOVE tattoos. I have 5, want more.
I love the colors, but that's not something I'd want...even if I was a SERIOUS seamstress.
I will say that the upper chest and collarbone areas are some of the more painful areas to have tattooed, so she must have REALLY wanted that...plus that cost some major money!

Looks like she's had more done to it...

It really is a gorgeous tattoo, if just a "tad" over the top.  It would look way better on her back (does anyone else think the sewing machine looks like it's choking her?), but then she wouldn't be able to see it as easily.
