The Tattooed Rosies, a group of 22 local women with tattoos, are putting together a calendar to raise money for a yet-unknown charity of their choice, but they are also trying to change the image of women with tattoos, they say. It's rather tawdry.

Funny, I don't have a problem with women with tattoos. Aren't we beyond making judgements by someone's appearance? Some of my favorite people in the world have tattoos. People like Cecily, Kate, Jackie, Anastasia.
