i am ink-free, but this website is giving me ideas. Sylvia Plath, Charles Bukowski, Kurt Vonnegut - how about a little lemony snicket?

i particularly liked this tattoo for the blind (it reads 'sun').

you don't see much in the way of white ink:

    wow.very cool. I got my first tattoo (a large native american headdress - suppose to represent my studies in archaeology) a few months ago, love it. I like the blind tat the most I think. Really interesting. How are the blind tattoos formed
