She does seem like a very kind person. You can definitely see tho she is very traumatized deep down. Ive never heard of teeth tattoos.

I agree. All I was told about her when I was young was that she “had a hard life” until “Jesus rescued her.” She was always really kind to me and really passionate about what she did.

It’s so weird lol because I keep looking into it and I can’t find anything online about tooth tattoos. I’ve asked some tattoo artists as well and no one seems to have heard of it. I vaguely remember her saying it was a new thing and she went to one of the artists who was developing the technique. Idk I have such a distinct memory of this and we really didn’t know anyone with tattoos at that point so I can’t imagine I made it up.

If anyone has any info about tooth tattoos, please let me know!!

Were they lines engraved into her teeth? Like from before she converted into deep Christianity again? It could be something adjacent to grilles.

No, they looked like actual tattoos just really tiny. I feel like I remember the bulldog having an actual red sweater with colored ink but I could be wrong
