Ganesh Tattoo

This great Ganesh leaf tattoo was done by Mohan at Mohan’s Tattoo Inn in Nepal. Does this mean I can legally write off a vacation to Nepal if I go and interview Mohan? Because wow, I would really love to do that…

    How special is THAT ?

    My partner suggested getting tattoos from different artists across the east. After seeing this I think she’s onto something.
