The history of tattoos goes way back thousands of years. And there was a time when tattoos were associated with criminals and people on the dark side of society. Not any more. Since the 1990s tattoos have become cool. Tattoos today are mainstream. They have become a fashion statement with girls being tattooed as much as guys.

moorings I start to suck my thumb and playfully kick the heels....

My first day as the Easter Bunny. The set is moving. There are
animatronics. No one told me there'd be animatronics A rabbit
with a busted plaster ear eternally chases cabbages, which are
inexplicably spinning, spinning. A tiny farmer, armed with a
pitchfork ( a real pitchfork, mind you, on a children's

One of his arms looks like it was broken and set wrong; it
sticks out at a weird angle. There is fake green grass, little
white pick...
