Don't ever walk up to this woman and say "Hey baby, gimme some skin!" 'cause you just might get some. Yuck!
Dutch artist Joanneke Meester holds up a replica pistol made out of an eight-inch piece of her skin in her studio in Amsterdam, April 22, 2004. Joanneke made the pistol from a flap of her own skin which was surgically removed from her abdomen. The puckered skin was stretched and sewn with nylon over a plastic and fiber mold. Meester made the piece to highlight her concerns about how quickly people resorted to violence in a society regularly exposed to violence in the television age. (Jerry Lampen/Reuters)

I also can't help but notice that if she's married, and moves to Mexico, her name will be pronounced "Meesus Meester." (Sorry)
