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. Among the elite, those tattoos are of Disney symbols, attractions, and characters. Why just wear a dumb pair of ears when you can have amazingly intricate art inked into your flesh? You'll meet, every week, someone who has done just that, and who wants both the World and the world to know about it.

Kissing Mickey and Minnie Tattoos

Most tattoos are solitary creations. You get them inked on, you show them off. Today's tat pair would each make sense individually, but their beauty is apparent only when the two people who own them are together, and positioned just right.

I'm enchanted by these tattoos.

How better for Disney fans to prove their love - both for each other and for Disney - than to have matching, facing tattoos of Mickey and Minnie Mouse inked onto their shoulders.

Each mouse is prepared to kiss the other. But only if their owners are side-by-side.

In this case, the owners are Jody Jeansonne and Hayley Spence from Picayune, Mississippi. They got their ink in March at World Class Tattoos of Harvey, Louisiana. (Yes, they crossed state lines to do it, but that's ... okay.)

If Jody and Hayley should ever drift apart - and certainly, I hope they never do! - their tattoos would 'break'. They can't remove them, unlike wedding rings, and realistically, only one other option remains.

Future boyfriends and girlfriends of this pair must submit to matching tattoos.

What a way to weed out the one-night stands, eh?
