Ho, ho, ho, ow, ow, ow? (Holiday gift suggestions, part 1)
Tattooed people tend to be rugged individualists, right? So we don’t need no steenkin’ shoppin’ at all… right?
No, I didn’t think so either.
Following my personal philosophy of think… plan… go for it, I present a few suggestions for yourselves or for that multicolored Someone Else. I haven’t read all of these myself, but I plan to. If you’ve read them, I hope you’ll give me a book review in the comments.
