Woman preserves pope's memory with tattoo

Quote:

While tens of thousands at St. Peter's Square in Vatican City and millions around the world prayed for Pope John Paul II during his final days, city resident Susan Kilchewski-Gregoire watched from her home and decided to remember the Pope in her own way.

The tattoo, her 27th, takes up most of the right side of her right calf.

Kilchewski-Gregoire will remember the pontiff whenever she looks at a large tattoo she had placed on her leg this week.

"I know he's always with me from heaven, but I can look down on my leg and he's with me all the time," she said.

Wow, nothing says "class" like a huge tattoo of the pope on your leg. All I can say is that at least it's not on her breast or ass.

Quote:

While some people may think it's odd to glorify the Pope in such a way, Smith said he believed it was pretty normal.

"It's not strange. It's the pope," he said. "We sit here and do Mary and Jesus, why not the pope?"

Indeed.

Yeah, but has he shown up on a grilled-cheese sandwich yet?

Better a tattoo of the pope than one of your mother! I know a girl who has a tattoo of her mother, done from a photo, on her belly.

Her husband found it difficult to engage in marital relations with his mother-in-law staring at him.

Compared to that, a dead pope on the leg is nothing to worry about.

I've heard this is why there are so many prison tattoos of the virgin Mary on backs.

Leviticus 19:28 "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD."

Well then...
