When your body is already covered in stripes, it can be difficult for you to find ways to express yourself with body art... unless you're creative.
This is Carmen, a zebra girl who decided to use her own pattern as a template for something far more detailed. What do you think?

I'm getting more comfortable with lineless art, but I gotta say those tribal symbols were a test in endurance XD Believe it or not, I didn't mind that part. It was actually rather therapeutic. I kinda felt like a tattoo artist with Carmen patiently sitting there as I worked. In fact, after spending around five solid hours doing them, the only reason I decided to take a break was not because I was getting tired, but because my hand was beginning to cramp. I not sure, however, if I'll ever manage the task of drawing her again in the near future (and commissioning an artist to draw her would probably get me banned XD ). I love how she turned out in the end, and I'm sure she does, too.

What's also neat is that this is theoretically possible in real life! I wouldn't subject a real zebra to this, but there is a method of freezing skin to permanently damage the hair follicles in a way that keeps hair growing, but without color. That's likely what she did on her own stripes in this case.

Hmmm... this would kinda make a neat wallpaper... Anyone want a sized version?
