You know I fall completely for unexpected urban (art) beauty! I just can’t help it! It’s our jungle, let’s feel ourselves blessed whenever there’s more than just buildings around!

I thought I’ve been writing my way around tattoos enough but still there’s room for yet another tattoos and fashion article! This one has been brought to my Inbox attention (thanks, Tim).
