"Welcome! Settle into this chair. While you relax, I'm going to stab this needle into your skin somewhere between 50 to 3,000 times each minute. While I do that, I'm going to make sure it leaves an ink deposit that never, ever goes away unless you undergo a painful removal procedure. Now, do you want those needles to make the shape of a fire-breathing bear or a bunny rabbit? Enjoy your tattoo! Tattooing has become reasonably mainstream in recent decades.

I was in a bar in Atlanta and started talking to this nice-looking blonde. When I asked for her name she unbuttoned the top two buttons on her blouse and exposed a red rose tattoo on her left breast over her heart.
