Amy Black, of Trademark Tattoo, whose artistry is the best around, has been having a little more fun with her business. Back on the Vernal Equinox, to celebrate spring, she had $20 spring-themed tattoos. She's also been doing Ben's new piece (pictures can be found on Facebook).
Her most recent gimmick was today, and it was Tattoo Roulette. Ben, Jennie, and I jumped at the opportunity. I mean, can you really turn down a $26 tattoo that you pick by spinning a wheel? Just to be safe, Amy asked people to pre-pay, and even talked some people out of it that were excited, just because she had a bad feeling. "No sissies" has pretty much been the slogan since the get-go.
Ben wound up with a dolphin. Jennie, a grim reaper playing guitar. Me? Well, think of the most inappropriate tattoo you can that I could have. Now, don't mince my tone, the sheer inappropriateness of this tattoo makes it so ridiculously awesome that I can't help but laugh every time I look at it. I have a feeling it's also going to become my new nickname, because I don't see any way around it.
I spun a wheel, and I got this:
Yeah. I think the rap sheet of jokes that have already come out of it is at least novella length already.
So, for the daring out there, keep an eye out for her next Roulette session. Laughs are guaranteed!
