How I felt about this book is embarrassing because they have some lovey dovey stuff, and just make me felt embarrass while reading it. I would rate this book 5 out of 5. I really like how it romantic and supernatural…

Author V. Vale once said, “A tattoo is a true poetic creation, and is always more than meets the eye. As a tattoo is grounded on living skin, so its essence emotes a poignancy unique to the mortal human condition” (Vale 55). From this, it is evident how intimate tattooing is. A life-long commitment to a piece of artwork that one will carry on one’s skin wherever they go requires careful consideration. Tattooing itself has been practiced for centuries all over the world, with the first known…
