true beauty

i really don't know where to begin. this is without a doubt the most ridiculous thing i have even seen in my life. could you imagine if someone you know has this very tattoo? you could be sitting next to this in starbucks. or what about your boss at work? one day your company has a picnic and 'Billy' gets a little bit sweaty playing ultimate frisbee so he takes his shirt off and whips out this bad boy. i think the first thing i would ask is 'so are you the rainbow one?'

I want this tattoo for real

this originally was a stick-on tattoo of a mermaid, but then it faded it bit so I made mr jones' sister outline it in black, and then I super fell in love with it!

coney island mermaid parade 2008

debwa loves mermaids. and debwa (mostly) loves parades. so this is a natural mix! unfortunately, I didn't go to the coney island mermaid parade this year (or any year for that matter), but I still love it!

mix together burlesque suicide girls, burning man, day of the dead, and throw a little bit of the crazies in there, and voila. the mermaid parade. here are some of the better pictures I found:
