Winter in New York

February 24

Recently, I was blessed to be gifted a trip to New York. Yep. Gifted! It was quite literally the adventure of a lifetime for more reasons than one.

Whether your thing is food, sights, big cities, shopping or just chilling out, New York could never disappoint.

Inked. Yep. It looks like tattoos are here to stay. Or so it seems.

When the day arrives and tattoos are no longer fashionable, there will be a sea of people and I mean, a sea of people, heading to … well, the place that removes tattoos. Whatever that place is.

If I was enterprising in a different kind of way, I would be thinking about opening up a tattoo removal shop, because if my predictions are anything to go by, I reckon the tattoo removalists are going to get busy. Really busy.
