Sometimes our feelings for someone are so big that is hard to explain with just words. Some people choose to express their overflowing love with little daily surprises, some with special unexpected gifts, and some with tattoos on their bodies to honor their loved ones.
Inspired by this last group, Bright Side found some people that chose to use their own skin to immortalize that larger than life feeling.
