Greetings, Body Art Fans!

Does body art make a good holiday gift? Hmmm... Let's see... If the other person really wants it, then at least you know that you're giving them something they want. And for sure, tattoos and piercings can last a really long time. But on the other hand, if the gift receiver ever changes their mind, it could make memories of the holidays funky for a very long time.
