The illustrations themselves would make incredibly beautiful tattoos; the colors and artwork scream skin permanence. Timothy John Shumate is a Chicago-based illustrator who specializes in depictions of wide-eyed females. It's remarkable to see Jasmine with a full tiger back piece and Ariel with stereotypical anchors on her shoulders. I'm also partial to Snow White's sparrow tattoos as it's a popular design amongst youth. **Implications** - The popularity of tattoos have permeated mainstream culture and are no longer exclusively affiliated with their humble sub-culture beginnings.
