This Sunday morning in pictures & tattoo ink-spiration!

I love Sunday mornings. I wish they lasted double the time that they do. They seem to go by in a blink, but time has a knack of doing that, doesn't it? I am currently looking at having another tattoo done so am sifting through some inspiring magazines. A friend of mine recently talked to me about a technique where they use dots instead of Read on...
