#16 Tattoo You

I work with a girl named Rosana who in her spare time moonlights as a tattoo artist. No, I didn't get a tattoo, but she offered to teach me how to do it. So I learned how to give a tattoo – on a grapefruit. She said the texture is similar to human skin and that's how she practiced the art. So I made a stencil, transferred it to the willing grapefruit and began inking away. I can say after giving this a try I have a real appreciation for what she does. The tools are awkward and top heavy, and to be able to do the types of tattoos she does is a real talent. Now all I need is a volunteer to try it for real.
