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.

After interviewing my childhood best friends, Natasha and Theresa Meyer, who were twins, I set out to interview other twins from Bluffton. I managed to interview my first set of identical twins. Allow me to introduce Morgan and Natalie Basinger.
Morgan and Natalia are identical twins, the daughters of Scott and Kate Basinger. They are five years old. For the record, Morgan is older. The girls will start kindergarten in Bluffton this fall. They have one younger sister, Brooklynn, age 4.
