she gotta lobe??
some nipple piercings would look great, I think
I love how the ink stands out on her skin in this photo.
You can see the depth of the shading and the tattoos really are the focal point of the picture.
Lovely lovely.
The lines look fantastic. would be awesome to see how vibrant she went with colors. 🙂
Brilliant contrasting on this photo. Beautiful tattoos as well. I’d also like to see how she went with the colour.
i just love old school chest pieces. especially in bright happy colors! I’d like to see this one as well!
I love how 1930′s she looks with the hair and make-up and then the tattoo’s are quite old school looking! Awsome!
Wow, that’s a really beautiful photo. I totally agree with AmyL.
Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
true beauty
i misread the caption and saw “done by skip samson in 1603. i’d like to see some color too.

I would love to have this picture as poster.
Skip is amazing, I’ve had a tattoo done by him as well as another done in 1603 – high class shop.
Wow, she looks so vintage, I love it.
I absolutly LOVE this picture!!! She’s beautiful!
Beauty. Total beauty.
This is absolutely stunning. I only wish I could produce a picture of myself that looked that lovely.
Gorgeous, I agree with the idea that she should consider getting her nipples pierced.
those are far from old school tattoos…
