Welcome to the early June edition of the Bellaonline Body Art Newsletter.
There weren't any newsletters in May due to my traveling around. I have to say, pulling in to just get gas when no one in town has seen a woman with her upper arms full of tattoos can be an experience. I've been very lucky, I almost never get negative attention from having ink, but I do raise a few eyebrows when I hit a town of less than 1,000 in rural Nevada.... hahahaha...
This month's Body Art book club title is THE TATTOOED MAP. This is an artful mystery with the book having rich prodution values along the lines of the Griffin & Sabine stories. Lydia tells of a skin irritation that turns into a growing tattoo, her partner Christopher finding the diary entries after her disappearance. Did she follow the map on her skin, and if so, where did she go?
