Vattoos: The New Vajazzling?

If you're already bored with vajazzling, try vattoos on for size.

The spa geniuses have come up with a new way to pretty up our lady parts and empty our wallets—vattoos! If your logic computes that must mean a combination of vaginas and tattoos, then congratulations, you're pretty smart.
