Do you have some skeletons hiding in your closet? Are you ready to reveal them to the world in the form of a tattoo?
We’d be all but a blob of flesh and organs without our skeletons. Our bones are strong (the femur is stronger than concrete), yet they can still be fractured, broken in two, or shattered into tiny pieces. Once we are dead and buried, and after organisms have consumed our soft tissue, the skeleton still remains for a considerable amount of time.
The human skeleton is quite impressive, much like these tattoos. Transform this piece of anatomy and common Halloween decoration into something silly or seriously spooky with the help of ink, a tattoo machine and your favourite tattooer.
If it were possible and at all practical, I’m sure ink addicts would go so far as to tattoo their own skeletons so that their personality could remain intact even in death.
