One of our favorite writers, Jack London, once wrote, "Show me a man with a tattoo and I'll show you a man with an interesting past."

With that philosophy, the Icon introduces a feature that's simmered on the back burner way too long.

"Skin Deep" will feature Icon viewers' tattoos. Our inaugural tattoo is found on the left leg of Kayla Whitaker, employee of South Gate Lanes.

Do you want share your tattoo with Icon viewers? We will post it on the Icon, on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram with a promise that it will reach hundreds of viewers.
