- Well? Would you?
Saw this yesterday on the Facebook page of Bajantube – a super popular Barbadian entertainment/video upload site and it definitely gave me pause!
I stopped, scrolled back up and my jaw dropped. It’s like a social studies project on Barbados tatted on her back – from the flag to the map to the national flower (Pride of Barbados, just so ya know).
I thought two things:
1) That HAS to be a Bajan living overseas – West Indians living outside of the region have a particular depth of emotion and sentimentality for their island homes that you don’t neccesarily have when you’re living here.
2) Owwwwww! I have two teeny little tats and those stung – I can’t imagine her pain threshold!
Comment is divided. Some are lauding it as the ultimate show of patriotism while others say it’s just too much.
Your thoughts, islandistas?

That is my back. I love tattoos and wanted to put something on me that I would never regret.I also have my middle name on my breast. Yup I lived in Toronto for most of mylife and I have now moved back home
