In the section entitled Kiss the author describes the intimate yet varied ways of kissing. The part that resonated with me was the sharing of two souls. I feel that when we become intimate with someone we are giving them a piece of ourselves while also taking a piece of them. It is one of the few ways to truly get to know someone and become close with them.
Tattoos are a form of creative expression that have been around for ages. It is art that can move and travel with the wearer. It is art that can be seen by the public or kept secret for a select few. The article mentions the Hall of Skin where people donate their tattoos after they die. I found it interesting that after a life time of moving it would then become stationary. Although we display tattoos on our bodies the idea of placing them in a gallery takes away the fundamental aspect of body art.
