I am so embarrassed by bad tattoos.

Really... it's like, what, this big drunken mistake and you have to carry
it around on your arm forever? And then people spend the rest of their lives trying to convince themselves that it's really not that bad. But it almost always is that bad. It must be really hard to find a good tattoo artist.

Sean has such a way with words. His sharp wit often surprises and delights me.
Ouch, was that a comment on my tatoo?? Totally kidding, of course. The worst is when you can tell someone got a tatoo when they were young, and now it's all wrinkly and distorted. Lovely...
I think my favorite was the story in the Sideways Stories from Wayside School where some little kid gets to get a tattoo and everyone is totally jealous and trying to tell him what to get-- a dragon, a snake, a ship, etc, etc-- and finally he gets... (drumroll, please)... a potato. And all the other kids think it's totally lame, but he knows that they just don't understand.
I can't explain why, but I loved that story. And when I think of tattoos, that's always what I think of.
"Drunken Mistake" would be the best band name ever.
