Much serious a piece of news from Canada where ‘body modification gets under skin of law enforcement.’ Worth reading and some pondering on the subject, especially in the light of Shannon Larratt’s comment on it.

Another one for my ‘charity’ category, this time from the UK: ‘women get tattooed to raise money for charity.’
