@Dimitrios: Thanks Dimitrios - I caught it at a local folk festival! :)

Is that a star tattoo behind the ear? Lots of people are having tattoo's placed in the same location. :-)

@Vanessa: It is Vanessa - I've never seen one there before! I took the picture without seeing the tatoo but was intrigued when I had a close look and discovered it! Serendipity!
@tyan: It's rather cool isn't it tyan!
Soph from Enghien, Belgium
very discreet tatoo and original colors! How i'd like to be sure enough of myself to "wear" that kind of little details.

@Soph: It takes confidence to get a permanent decoration! Perhaps you could try it in henna! :)
Lorraine from Canada
That is special, and the man in the background gives it dimension ;)

@jump: I was initially interested in her colourful hair ties - and didn't notice the tatoo until later jump. Thanks!
Jen from Alpharetta, United States
Great shot...not sure how I would feel about a tatoo in that spot (might hurt quite a bit)...nicely taken!
