¹Click into tattoo artist Paul Booth's website, darkimages.com, and enter the dark side of tattoo art. ²Known world-wide for his macabre art drawn on human flesh, Booth advertises himself as the "Dark Overlord and Master of the cruel alternative reality" called Last Rites, his popular and highly successful tattoo studio located in New York's East Village. ³His own body is a walking testament to his passion for body art. ⁴Booth's five feet nine, stocky frame sports tattoos from shoulders to hands; multiple silver rings rim his ears, and a single silver loop hangs from his nose. ⁵His clean-shaven head, except for the thick mass of long hair left to grow from its center back, serves as a canvas for a coiled centipede design that covers the skin over his right skull and creeps down his neck. ⁶Interestingly, his studio, described as "an asylum for dark creatures to gather and be marked," sits across the street from a Catholic church that is adorned with cheerful and colorful murals of birthday cakes created by children.

     ¹The goddess of love, Aphrodite, was the most beautiful of all the Greek goddesses. ²In fact, her beauty was so great that two other goddesses, Hera and Athena, became quite jealous of her. ³Hera and Athena demanded a contest for the title of the "fairest." ⁴Zeus, the king of the gods, appointed a mortal man, Paris, to judge the contest. ⁵All three goddesses tried to bribe Paris. ⁶Aphrodite promised Paris that she could make the most beautiful woman on earth fall in love with him. ⁷Her bribe worked, and she won the title. ⁸To keep her end of the bargain, Aphrodite gave Helen of Troy (the world's most beautiful woman) to Paris. ⁹Hera and Athena became very angry when they didn't win the contest. ¹⁰To get even with Aphrodite and Paris, these two angry goddesses caused the Greeks to make war on Paris, his family, and his country. 11In the end, Paris lost everything, including his life.
