Well, I finally got me a tattoo. It only took me 36 and a half years to get one. 20 of those were trying to get MOM34 to go along with it.
While she isnt happy about it, she is resigned to the fact that whats done is done and the thing isnt going to come off.
I am working on gett at least one more, but would like 3 more.

Why would I get a tat thats says “Samuel Browning likes young boys” ? That would take up too much space.
It means “Captain Monkey Pants.”
No, just kidding. My friends wife (who is Japanese) translated it for me. When the two are combined they mean “scattered and lost”. Thats the closest she could get the translation in this script.
I picked it because the phrase represents my soul. Eventually my soul will come back, but Im sure it will be pretty dirty by then.
The place I got it (No Regrets Tattoos in Memphis) wont translate anything into any language. They leave that up to the tat recipient, that way they cant be held accountable for any fucked up trans;ations.
A colleague (3rd Dan Kendo, 4th Dan Iai-do, 2nd Dan Naginata) was commuting into work one day and saw a Japanese Kanji tattoo on a bloke. Out of curiosity, she asked him what it meant. He replied along the lines of “Honour and Fidelity” etc.
She told my sensei and I that she read it as “My mother is an old Fisher woman”.
Yep, she’s of Japanese descent and reads Kanji and Romanji.
Translation: “Bang the bum slowly”
Hey you! Yes you! Don’t spoil a perfectly good joke with the gay one you’re thinking of.[/quote]
That is very tasty. You might be interested to know that I went to the same school as Paul Weller and the Jam. Compulsory mod-ness in the town called malice.
There are a ton of them now. Its frankly kinda weird. As to the quality, I don’t know. I have a friend who is a pro (in VA). When she’s around, I get my ink from her. I won’t let any of those Modern Primitives faggots come near me with a tat gun.
