Voice of Reason
I realized today that, even if I had the talent, I could never be a tattoo artist. It takes a very special kind of person to not only condone but facilitate other people’s poor decision making. I am most definitely not that person. Have you SEEN 99% of the tattoos people get? Yeesh. The process of getting a tattoo should be guided by trained professionals and consultants over a period of several months — like a sex change, for example — to help prevent staggeringly tacky, impulsive tattoos. At the very least, I think tattoo artists should be trained in negotiation, so that a tattoo becomes a compromise between the person getting it and a calm voice of reason.
“Okay, you’re absolutely SURE you want a topless woman in American flag chaps riding an eagle? There’s really no turning back.”
“Yes.”
“C’mon, you don’t want to just maybe slap a top on her…and maybe get rid of the American flag pattern on the chaps? And…oh I don’t know…NOT have an eagle?”
“I’m positive. This tattoo says something about me.”
“Ugh whatever, mom.”

I’m still getting the robot having intercourse with a topless demon woman. Because it’s a lifestyle, that’s why.

I’m going to go get a really shitty tattoo so you have to look at it every day. Maybe get something like a squirrel jerking itself off right on the back of my hand. That’d be sweet.

Oh, don’t try to cover your ass. You’ve been talking about getting that for months now.

You mean you couldn’t support a decision like this?

Everybody knows “Internet Dream” is the superior Tay Zonday song.
