The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

The worst tattoo customer in history?
Via Buzzfeed, we have this edifyingagonizing ridiculous spectacle.
Reminds me of when I got my first of seven done. I was 19 yrs old and in AIT at Ft. Bliss, TX. Because of some perceived misconduct, we were confined to barracks for the weekend. Now, it being my birthday, and me being young and stupid, I decided to sneek off post to get a tattoo.
As the artist was finishing up my work, one of our Senior Instructors walked into the shop and sat down for his appointment. He noticed me immediately, but didn't say anything. All he did was give me a little nod that said it all.
Now, picture this guy: 6'2" or so, 210lb of finely trained Army Drill Sgt. As soon as the needle touched his skin, he just went ahead and passed out, fell off the chair, and busted his lip and nose.
When he came to, I was in the process of having my tat creamed and bandaged.
He looked at me and said, "I won't tell if you don't." :)
I don't blame the big baby for removing it. She was a child! I wouldn't have put up with 10 seconds of that. My first (and, so far, only) was on my right shoulder and took a little over 2 hours. I MAY have said "ow" ONCE toward then end after all the line work and the shading was being finished up and I HATE needles. My wife had my avatar done on her ankle, which I KNOW hurts more than my arm, and she didn't scream, yell or piss and moan throughout the ordeal at all! You didn't miss a thing Crucis. I had to mute it just to watch it.

LOL
Just tried to view it and got a notice from YouTube that it'd been removed by the user.
