I think what makes grey tattooing so special is that it's neither in the character of colourful tattoos, but neither is it in the character of bold, black tribal style ink. It's got a character of its own and can come across as rather refined. (If this makes sense?)

John's Gospel and John's First Epistle are very searching...

Sometimes it's possible to go round and round in circles...

We have been promised a lot of ice and freezing rain over the weekend...o_O
