This is spooky!
I'm starting to recognize your finger. And a delightful digit it is. LOL!

Digit
I wish my finger wasn't in so many pictures, but sometimes it's hard to get a certain angle otherwise. I don't feel it captures the natural look. And, well.... they just seem to like me a lot.

Best of both worlds
How about a leaf tattoo? Or a floral piercing? Yes, today, there are alternatives!

Intentional Hole
Poke a hole in myself intentionally? Not me, brother. I'm allergic to pain!
