Just a little more!

This young woman appeared to be very happy about her new tattoo art.
She may have to rely on others to let her know if there is an error on the design.

Good shot of what to me is simply bizarre.
Jump ahead about 50 years and think of what nurses are going to see in hospitals and assisted living centers when they care for their 'little old lady' patients. Sagging roses on lower legs and well, you can use your imagination for the rest. :D

@Judy: Very true, Judy.
The sagging roses and other imagination of the scene is not pretty.

Really interesting shot. It's fascinating to see this work in progress. But I wonder how she's going to like this when it's time to wear low back dresses at formal occasions, although I think this is not bothering many young women so far. And how about when middle age hits? Hmm. Styles come and they go... but you can always give out of style clothes away. You can't shed your skin.

I love the way you took it! Artistry of a different sort, but still the ambiance is fantastic!

A great shot Barb.

The thing with tattoos is that their permanent, as it has been pointed what seemed fine at 20 can be ridiculous at 40. Its not a fad that seems to be going away, so maybe eventually the ones without tattoos will be the cool ones?

@DenisSm: This was actually a bike show for customized motocycles. The images from the last few days I captured during a walk through a nearby building where there were various vendors, such as tatto artists. I was curious with my camera. Thank you for commenting Denis.
