Considering a tattoo? Rather than taking the conventional route, how about inviting some ink into your home?
Of late, we’ve been noticing tattoo-like line drawings on mugs, tabletops, sideboards, and, especially, area rugs. These designs have a raffish, hand-sketched look—and we like it. See what you think.
