One summer's Friday down the pub after work with friends the conversation turned to tattoos as a 'celebrity' had recently posted photos of her tattoos (roses over both butt cheeks) and it had been all over the papers.
One girl at the table went off on a massive rant, something along the lines of "How could someone disfigure themselves like that? It's disgusting."
I'm sat there with shorts on sporting my brand new calf tattoos so decide to call her up on it. "So you're saying that I've disfigured myself by getting tattoos?" I ask, as nicely as possible.
So began the furious back-peddling. "No, your tattoos are different!" and "That's not what I was trying to say at all!" Which I didn't believe for a second.
I also had a weird one from my Mum when talking about one of my sessions. Referring to the tattoo parlour, she asks:
"But doesn't it get a bit smelly in there?"
After inquiring what the hell she was on about, it turned out she thought that part of the tattoo process involved burning the skin!

Had this bad boy added to my sleeve Thursday last week. So happy!
