One evening in December 1993, Sandi and Anna were lying in bed when Anna rolled over and said, "Why don't you get my face tattooed on your back?" Okay, said Sandi. And she marched off to do it.
"How big is it?'' Anna asked from New York.
Big, said Sandi -- takes up the whole shoulder.
"Shoulder!'' said Anna. "I wanted your whole back. Go do it again.''
Sandi stood firm for once. The tattoo hurt. But Anna really wanted a human billboard, and she turned to her blood relations, who proved reliable. An aunt Kay took Anna on the back, and a niece got branded on the ankle.
Anna was thrilled. Tattoos were no asset for a model, but she couldn't help herself. On February 27, 1994, according to Sandi's diary, Anna, too, drove up to a small strip mall on Aldine-Westfield and walked into Bubba's Skin Pin Studio. Sandi stood over Bubba as he worked his craft upon Anna Nicole's shaved pudendum. He recorded there a symbol that might be mistaken for a dollar sign -- an S with a line descending from the lower loop, forming the initials SP. Then, beside a likeness of two cherries, he slowly etched the words "Pawpaw's heart."

Wow...quite an article! Quite an eye opener. Should not be missed by anyone on this thread.
The wedding, on June 27, 1994, was a legendary affair at the White Dove Wedding Chapel. The old man arrived at the altar without a prenuptial agreement, and Anna trod over white rosebuds to get to him. When she announced that important modeling business would preclude their wedding night, Howard wept. Don't be sad, Anna reportedly said. "You know it's you I love." And she hurried away with her bodyguard, who would later claim he was ravished.
