I apologize for subjecting you all to this, I really do. There is just so much wrong here that I can hardly even begin to process it all. But lets start with that title... This is a piece about why women shouldn't get tattoos:

Why Put a Bumper Sticker on a Ferrari?

My mechanic boyfriend says I'd be a Shelby Cobra. I have no idea what to make of that. I think I'm a VW Jetta TDI though.

Yes please!
I'd share... but I don't have a tattoo yet. The userpic I'm using right now is probably going to be my first one though! :)

I love that design! I've been thinking of getting something similar as my next tattoo with a red bowtie some how incorporated for my grandparents.

Don't waste money on tattoos, go spend it on a gym membership instead and stop being a fatty so guys will drool over you more, because THAT will make you happy!

Woooow.
