If your ink could speak, what would it say?My name is Tige and have been with this person since he was a baby and I’ll be with him until the end.
What would you do with the $25,000?Part of it will go for a new piece on my other leg based on Otzi, the 3000 year old iceman with whom I share DNA based on a recent test.
