Airrush is available at many tat parlors. Get a facsimile of the permanent and try it out. Do this over a few times and remember, you'll dress to feature new ink-for a while and when it's not so new, you still need to embrace it-they are forever; laser removal is expensive, painful and scarring. If it's a mid-life crisis, wait it out.. [ Reply | More

I don't think it matters if they are identical or fraternal when it comes to sharing clothes. They ARE individuals and should be treated as such. If it becomes an issue and one or the other or both say they want their own clothes, then so be it. Just follow their lead - and always remember there are two people in your house, not one and 1/2.

No, they register in case you want to check it out and buy from it - that is why you don't include registry info in ivitation - if a guest wants to find out its nice, but it is not mandatory - and telling me how to present my gift because the honored is too lazy or has a thing about opening presents is inappropriate (at best) [ Reply | More

I agree - the gift-givers get to decide how they are going to present their gifts, not the mtb. If there are going to be a lot of people, designate someone as a "helper" - while she is opening and oohing over one, someone else can be cutting off the ribbons and loosening the tape on the next.
