My mother used to say that if I got a tattoo, I'd go blind. (Or was it... never mind.) The world has changed. It seems that for every person who gives up smoking, another gets a tattoo.

Pirate Auctioneer and Redhead Tattoos
JULY 2 Just when you think you've seen every Disney tattoo there is to be seen (another Tigger? joy...), you run into ink you've never imagined, ink that features a famous scene from Pirates of the Caribbean - the ravishing redhead!
