To Infinity And Beyond...

"Former tattoo artist here, and it has to be infinity symbols."

"ESPECIALLY when they want them to be 'uNiQuE', so they have you spend three hours drawing up different ways of cramming little McKayzleigh and Brackxston’s names, birthdates, birth weights, blood types, and favorite ice cream flavors in there."

"Fine, I’ll find a way."

"I can work for my money."

'"Oh, and can it also have a thin blue line in there for my husband?'"

"Sure, lady."

“And maybe some birds breaking off of it, cause my meemaw loves birds!”

"Sighhhh. Yeah, okay."

No One Has Time To Read Anymore

"Sayings, especially ones that span multiple limbs/areas."

"I was in the Army with a guy from Texas that thought he was hard as woodpecker lips."

"Had ‘Cowboy The F*ck Up’ tattooed across his forearms."

"Ostensibly so if he put his fists up to fight you, you would read it and, I don’t know, be scared or something?"

"He never got in any fights that I know of."

" But due to the size he wanted it and sh*tty planning, one arm said COWBOY THE and the other arm simply read F*CK UP."

"And he immediately became known as Cowboy, the f*ck-up."- RistaRicky

Anyone considering getting a tattoo should always remember that they're all but permanent.

As far too many people are sadly stuck with a reminder of a past bad decision which greets them every time they look in a mirror.

And often on display for the rest of the world to see as well.
