A New Use for Tattoos (NSFW)
I came across BOTH these projects yesterday morning - which made me feel like I was meant to share them.

Survival.

The second project I came across was Personal Ink (www.p-ink.org). This video says more than I ever could, so please watch.
- def: the state or fact of continuing to live or exist, typically in spite of an accident, ordeal, or difficult circumstances.
