On tats

Every few months or so, Mayo Nurse informs me that she's thinking of getting a tattoo. I'm really not fond of tattoos. In my opinion (and I don't care if you have one or what you think of them), they're tacky and 90% of the time, the bearer comes to regret ever getting them.

Anyway, last weekend was one of those occasions. She's thinking about getting a Celtic cross or something like that. The only way that I have to keep her from going out to a tattoo parlor some night and getting one regardless is to threaten to do something completely idiotic in response. Lately I've been telling her that if she were to get a tattoo, regardless of what design it is, then I'll get myself a tattoo of Elvis Presley's TCB logo on my right arm. She hates that freakin thing as well as anything else representative of my obsession with Elvis Presley.

As of late, though, I'm starting to think that she might be willing to risk it. The prospect of me marking myself as Memphis Mafia for the rest of my life doesn't have the same shock as it used to.

I need suggestions for something better. I've been thinking of threatening Captain Crunch, but she probably wouldn't believe that. I wouldn't either. I need something that I could live with, but she couldn't. Hit me on the comments section.

Sorry kid. I don't know her well enough to come up with anything.

But I can tell you, you will REGRET it no matter what the symbolism is and that the laser is not your friend.

would the nose bleed preceed or follow the passing out?

No. He'd probably survive getting the tattoo, but he'd immediately want it to be removed.

Belke, let's make something abundantly clear. If I got a tattoo, I'd make it prominent and I'd keep it. I wouldn't puss out by putting it somewhere my parents couldn't see it and then spend an assload of money to get it removed.

And tats are nothing. Ever had a spinal tap?

Yes I have had a spinal tap, and I'm likely to have another one here fairly soon.

State seal is a good idea since he "bleeds oro y plata" but he needs to get it on his back so it can be a full 3ft tall.

Oooh...SNAP. I think if I did that, though, my Grandpa Cislo would kick me out of the family.

DO THIS:

SITTING BULL ON YOUR RIGHT CALF, CRAZY HORSE ON YOUR LEFT.

BURTON K. WHEELER ON YOUR RIGHT FOREARM AND THOMAS WALSH ON YOUR LEFT.

MARC RACICOT AND TED SCHWINDEN ON YOUR UPPER BACK
FORREST ANDERSON AND JOE DIXON ON YOUR LOWER BACK

TIM BABCOCK ON YOUR NECK.

COCHISE AND GERONIMO ON YOUR PECS AND THUG LIFE ON YOUR BELLY.

You want the WA governor on your body? What seems an odd choice.

For diversity's sake. Not that many Asian politicos running around. My options are limited.

Yes I suppose that is true. Well if diversity is the desire, go for the governator and get some foreign flare.

I don't have a funny suggestion, but Dan and I have gone through a minor version of this, as I have sporadically brought up getting a Zia sun (the one on the NM state flag, sorta) on my back or hip and he makes ugly faces and shakes his head and goes on long spiels about how hot I am in my current, unmarked condition.

I've pretty much given it up at this point, because a)I realize how trendy it is to have a lower back tattoo, so forget that, and b)getting it anywhere in the frontal region could be REAL weird when I eventually get pregnant. And yeah, it'll be hot for five years and then I'll get tired of it. I'll just go draw on myself with a pen...

I don't know you well enough to make
an intelligent suggestion, but if
it were me I'd make it a black flag.
