Tattoos have long been taboo in Muslim-majority Egypt. But temporary tattoos known as halal have now received religious sanction. There's growing demand for these tattoos that only last 18 months, which is because they penetrate just the top layers of the skin. If you are a collector of banned memoribilia and love tattoos, this framed Pigskin is a great addition to your collection.
