Following on a conversation I've been having recently, we come to the topic of bad tattoos.
I'm really interested as to whether people ever get intentionally bad tattoos for a joke. Not interested enough to go out and do a survey, but hey ho. Is there a business opportunity there? I've got some designs in my head I may very well draw up soon for a laugh.
I remember a story my mate told me about his dad. So hes in Thailand (the dad that is) and hes properly pissed. Pissed enough to want a Tweetie Pie tattoo on his ass. I'd say that is pretty pissed. So he finds this tattooist. A tattooist who barely speaks English. So there's my mates drunk dad trying to describe to a guy who cant speak English what Tweetie Pie looks like so he can tattoo it on his ass. Now I haven't personally seen this tattoo, (we simply aren't that close :S ) but I've heard its a monstrous abomination of a mess. The stuff of true nightmares. Writing about it now though, makes me imagine some kind of Lovercraftian terror from beyond this reality. All tentacles and beaks. Actually that sounds fucking cool. Think my friend will mind if I phone him and ask to look at his dads ass?
Another instance I remember, I was working at the local Blockbuster Video with my best bud, The GreatEarthbeard. We were talking about bad tattoos, and we mentioned how cheesy a (particular cartoon character that everyone seems to have tattooed but I'm not mentioning just in case someone reading this has that particular tattoo) riding a skateboard would be. At that point our manager pipes into the conversation and says "Oh I have a (insert character name here) tattoo." Much Hilarity ensued.
*Anyone wishing to guess the character in question feel free. There may be a prize involved.*
Memorable Band for the day. Torche.
