The Art of the Ass


'You're never really naked when you're wearing ink.'


I am not generally the biggest fan of tattoo's, yet I know that the right ink, on the right person, can be incredibly sexy. I have also learned that tattoo's are intensely personal for many, and often, a person's body mark is a road map of their journey, often highlighting the most painful stops along the way.

But... then there's those late night, on a dare, or alcohol inspired tats, may of these ending up on people's butts. Over the past few years a huge industry has risen with people who remove these unwanted art pieces. It takes hours, over many session, as well as a lot of cash to undo what once seemed like a great idea. Some people, who at one time wanted to mark, or commemorate a significant event, learn they maybe don't want to be reminded of it every time they look in the mirror.


One of the things I do love about any artwork, is the process piece. Just as when I feature a great photo, I love the creation piece as much or more, than the final results. Butt tattoo's most often require one to yank down their pants, exposing their skin covered canvas to stranger, and sometimes a room full of people. Then, your butt, and it's future appearance, is fully at the disposal of the person at the other end of the needle.
