All though I do not celebrate Dia De Los Muertos aka Day of the Dead, I do love the creativity and art that comes along with it.

It is now October and Dia De Los Muertos will soon be here. In preparation I've selected some images to post.

I just discovered a blogsite by Illustrated Ink called Tattoo Tales. The majority of this woman's art is inspired by Dia De Lose Muertos. Take a look for yourself!

How did she know that I love sugar skulls and I love cupcakes?

At some point I thought I might get a sugar skull tattoo on my arm. However, I have yet to find a design that is quite up to par. Here's some inspiration though.
