Yes, I'd love a wallet made from her _____.

LOL...(nervous laugh) "It puts the lotion in the basket"

This may not be illegal in the UK but it should be. I've seen photos of lampshades and other items that the Nazis made from "human leather" from Jews they killed.

Sorry, this crosses a line for me. I'd never consider buying one of these products no matter how wealthy I was. I respect human life and dignity too much for that. I don't consider my fellow man to be so beneath me that I should have a wallet made out of his hide.
:scowl:

Putting a fashionably escalating price on human hides is an example of priming the market for yet another profitable debasement of humanity.

Here's another one :mad::

Way back when, my best friend and I got matching tattoos. He died 2 years ago, and his daughter (my God daughter) has the same tattoo now. I've thought about leaving her mine when I die. I think she'd prolly dig it.
 
I contacted the company. I sent them a naked picture of myself to they can determine the "usable skin" I can offer.

They replied and said they could use part of my skin surface to be made into a rifle case with a drawstring top.
 
This is going to sound weird but,

Back in the days of yore, certain clans would take trophies of slain enemy's in the belief that by ownership of (whatever) trophy it would devolve the victims soul/power/spirit unto themselves......? Underlying feature maybe?

I find it a bit creepy IMO.

That's not unique actually. Some American Indian tribes did stuff like that and even some of the early American colonial troops would do such things on occasion.

Also, slightly on topic:
