Gross. That’s just sick. I’m not surprised though. Our society continues its swift slide into the gutter.

My bad, I read it that Mexicans, not morticians, were flaying the deceased and thought cult of Xipe Totec was being revived!

I just read somewhere that morticians regularly have to tell customers that, no, you can’t have your loved one’s cleaned skull.

A firm NO!

My tattoos go with me. They have meaning for me. My long marriage, my career in the military.

If someone wants to remember them then take a picture but the ink goes with me.

While I normally dislike tattoos, I once knew an Army nurse, who had a traditional & BEAUTIFUL Chinese Water Dragon tattooed on her back, so that it didn’t show when she was wearing “street clothes”, from left shoulder to right thigh.
(Dolores said that the dragon was done by a Vietnamese woman with bamboo splinters & took > 18 months to complete.- She had her tour extended so that the tattoo could be finished.)

On that particular woman, it was: “the exception that proves the rule.”

Are shrunken heads next? Atheists are rapidly going backwards concerning civilization, reverting back to pagan practices.

How many of you have ever wondered about gold teeth that are (or not) buried or cremated?
