When I said get naked, I meant bare your soul

Hello you, and you and you and… well, you get the idea.

I was surfing the interwebs earlier today and happened upon this documentary called ‘Skin‘. I said to myself, “self, you like skin, skin is a great thing, especially if it’s on a woman’s smooth shoulders or Psyche’s perfectly round and juicy a….” Sorry, got a bit carried away there. Back to what I was saying…

So after I had decided that a video called Skin was definitely something I needed to click on, I was surprised and pleased to find that it was in fact about tattoos and their role in high art and culture.

Being a tattooed cherub myself, I have a penchant for nice body art, just like many of you. Which is why you’re all such cool creatures in my book. So from one awesome tattooed individual to another, I definitely recommend pressing play on this and admiring the art, artists and tattoo lovers involved.

Forget eyes, tattoos are really the windows to the soul, in my opinion anyway.

For those of you that haven’t got any tattoos (yet), while I believe with every fibre of my tiny, toddler sized, naked, God like being that you should adorn your body in beautiful artistic masterpieces, I strongly suggest you think long and hard about what you want. Mainly because it’s gonna be there forever and ever and ever, a bit like me, which is great for most people but if I was a one eyed bunny rabbit tatted on your left butt cheek, it’s not so great at all.

Lucky for me, my tats change depending on my mood, so as usual, I’m always in style. You guys though, aren’t so lucky. Sorry about that.

But yeah, watch the video and let me know if you liked it and stuff. Cause while I don’t really care that much, it’s always nice to get a comment or two from you guys. Believe it or not, I do genuinely like you. And I really don’t say that about many people. Congratulations.
