Inked: The Tattoo Thread

Or it could just be that you're in a high stakes fantasy football league: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-sh...7760--nfl.html

A good reason to follow The Church's counsel not to participate in games of chance.

This tattoo... I just... its just... I dunno.

This is going on my right upper arm Saturday at 4:00pm. This is to honor a family member who flew 2 missions in Vietnam with this company. The Tiger was designed by Walt Disney for their use.

Did Disney also screw up the punctuation?

Not sure, but it appears that it wasn't the tattoo artist's fault.

This is the original artwork:

I'd totally rock that.

Super badass.

Wish I could get sleeves.

If I hit it super rich the first purchase I'd make would be sleeves.

Not me, man, I'd do two chicks at once...

Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.
Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.
Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks.
Lawrence: Well, the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.
Peter Gibbons: Good point.
Lawrence: Well, what about you now? What would you do?
Peter Gibbons: Besides two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Well, yeah.
Peter Gibbons: Nothing.
Lawrence: Nothing, huh?
Peter Gibbons: I would relax... I would sit on my ass all day... I would do nothing.
Lawrence: Well, you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Take a look at my cousin: he's broke, don't do shit.

That apostrophe does bug me. However, that tattoo artist really shit the bed on that. Totally messed up his eyes and the corner of its mouth, making it look goofy-goofy instead of cool-goofy.

Do tattoo artists have an obligation to warn their customers about potential skin cancer patches?

A guy that I don't know, but that I "kinda" know, just got this tattoo.

Lots of questions about this one, but the first one is what is that coming out of his mouth? Fruit roll-up?

It will look even better when all of that leg hair that he shaved grows back in.

Looks like a golf ball personified and angrily eating the tee.

I had to have a CT scan this morning to see where I have kidney stones--assuming that the pain is kidney stones again (still waiting on the *********** results). The CT technician just could not accept that I didn't have any tattoos. She wasn't asking for medical reasons; she had several obvious ones. The following conversation (not verbatim) ensued:

Her: Not a single one?
Me: No. There's never been something so important for me to remember that I needed it permanently inked upon my body.
Her: You're married, right?
Me: Yes, and I remember her name, birthday, and our anniversary, 20 years this June.
Her: Wow, that's a long time. What about kids?
Me: Yes, I have three. Since I named them all, I got their names down. No need for a Memento reminder.
Her: Huh?
Me: It's an old movie; you were probably a kid.
Her: So, there's nothing that you would get as a tattoo?
Me: Maybe if my penicillin allergy ever gave me problems. I quit wearing the bracelet for that about 20 years ago. So far, so good.
Her: Wow. No tattoos. Well, it's gonna tell you when to breathe and when to hold it. Put your hands above your head.

I decided at a young age there were only two things that would make me consider a commemorative tattoo: military service or going to the Olympics. Too late for the service, but I'm holding out hope to be the USA Team Handball goalie in Tokyo 2020.
