Funny story. At one point in my life I had fallen from my skateboard while shitfaced drunk and broken my left wrist (again). A friend of mine had been hit by a car while riding his scooter and had a broken ankle. A friend of his worked at a tattoo shop that was celebrating their first anniversary with $20 flash tattoos, so my friend and I went down there to see what there was to see and lo and behold there was a bone tied in a knot on the flash sheet.
“Bone brothers!”we cried, and got in line.
We had different artists. His friend did his and it took about 20 minutes and looked like a bone tied in a knot. Mine took about 40 minutes and as I looked at it in the mirror in the shop, streaky with ink, I declared that it looked great. After showering the next morning and taking a good look at it I thought it looked a little off…perhaps some unfortunate shading? I went to a separate friends house for a second opinion.
“Why on earth did you get a penis tied in a knot tattooed on your chest?” confirmed my fears.
It’s hilarious. I never got it touched up.
So…yeah… impulse tattoos are a risky business.
