A Facebook post by Oliver James Brown wrote Claire Rattée bought him a human skull [...] In his own social media post from February, 2019, Rattée’s boyfriend, Oliver James Brown, thanks her for getting him his “first real human skull.” Brown writes that the skull is from the 1700s. He wrote, “So happy what an amazing gift babe thank you so much!”[...] Rattée says she can attest where the human remain came from. “The skull that I purchased, it’s actually a European skull,” Rattée said in a phone interview. “The main reason behind it is that it’s something he wanted for a very long time, we’re tattoo artists so it’s really important for us to have a good reference for art.” Rattée said the skull was also very expensive and came with documentation.JHm, so it's "just" taken from a grave over in Yurope, so it does not matter, especially if you are a pierced tattoo "artist" with no conscience. 'Very expensive' or not, if there is documentation of where it comes from, it can go back to be reinterred. This woman is apparently a Canadian politician.
