That is some devotion. Awesome.

I wonder if her mother will say “oh deer”. Sorry, dad joke.

I’m glad my family got in on this blog.

I wish my mother would have been that clever to say “Oh deer”.

When I first viewed the tattoo I thought ” Fantastic ! Kiki Smith is expressing her art on human flesh as the canvas.” On realizing , the tattoo is a drawing of Ms Smith’s bronze sculpture, my response is ” Great drawing. Good draftsmenship…what a beautiful tattoo!”

Beautiful tattoo. First glance looks like a deer gives birth to a girl. Second glance, a girl gives a flying kick to deer’s @$$ :)
