HeroesEddie Izzard... he is a comic genius and one of the exceptionally few celebrities I would shamelessly throw myself at if given half the chance. Also, Anthony Bourdain... I love his sharp wit and delicious snarky-ness! He is intellgient, well-traveled and insightful, but still smokes and drinks and swears - that's my kinda guy!

   Rachel Inkstress's Blurbs
About me:
I'm the only girl who can hurt you over and over again, and you'll always come back for more... * You see... tattooing is not just what I love to do, it is also one of the oldest existing forms of artwork on the planet. It has emerged as a practice in multiple cultures across the globe way before intercommunication between these areas was possible and has survived obstacles such as missionaries, the Great Depression, and city-wide bans in order to become one of the top growing service/retail industries in America today. Photobucket I think that it's high time that tattooing was considered a legitimate artistic medium, taken every bit as seriously as anything viewed in a museum or art gallery. However, this level of professional respect will never be achieved as long as people who have no issue paying $15 for a martini or $80 for a pair of jeans still bargain-shop when it comes to permanent body art. *
