PS: I reckon that some Fundamentalists would even try to classify an Ezekiel 16.12-style nose piercing as 'prohibitively' exotic... :)

"For His mercy endureth for ever" is a repeated refrain by the Psalmist. :)

Indeed... :)

Thanks for the 'like' on the above photo; I thought you would indeed find the tattoo effective as a design.
