Taboo Tattoo

Taboo Tattoo
This Sunday's Challenge: "The Writing's on the Wall"

One form could be "graffiti" and this is the graffiti I chose.

"Graffiti (plural of graffito: "a graffito", but "these graffiti") are writing or drawings that have been scribbled, scratched, or painted illicitly on a wall or other surface, often within public view."

This is one of the many tattoos on my husband's arms (given the "mirror" treatment in PicMonkey and a "Dutch Tilt") and done "illicitly" when he was much younger. His very dear (yet religious and domineering) mother wouldn't see them until many years later... Don't worry, she managed to survive. :D

And a song from Led Zepplin's "Physical Graffiti" album (1975)

Live Plant and Page (1994): Kashmir

Album: Kashmir

Lol, Heidi. It's not really that big. This is a close up and also has been mirrored. :)

his mother wouldn't see them until many years later, that makes me wonder what happened, how did he hide hide his arms for her, behind his back?
Just joking of course....

A colourful tattoo for sure. And, looks like a fearsome dragon :-) Like the mirror effect and an inspired musical match for 'Sight and Sound'. A good 'un from Led Zep. Thanks very much for posting, Karen.
