I don't see anything wrong with that. I often buy myself a few cans of Guinness regardless of what I'm celebrating.
A friend of mine said that for Christmas as a personal present she had a tattoo done in a very private place.
I feigned interest and asked her what it was. A bird perhaps? Or a flower? A heart?
"No ..." she said, "it is an inscription in a foreign language! I don't know what it says but it looks nice."
I thought it was rather odd, or silly, to have an inscription tattooed and you don't know what it means.
"You're good at languages," she said, "perhaps you could translate it for me." And before I could say anything she revealed her shapely body and showed me the inscription.
It took me quite a time to decipher it. I did not know what it said. So I scribbled every bit of the inscription on a piece of paper as accurately as I could. Took me some time in order to be very accurate.
She said she saw the inscription in the tattooist catalogue and liked it.
I checked with a colleague what the inscription means and it is "Do Not Machine Wash - Dry Clean Only".
Do you think I should tell her? Or should I go back and check the tattoo inscription again in case I got it wrong first time? This time I'll copy it more korrectly ... correctly.
...tattooing is something that I will never understand.
ReplyDeleteI agree ... especially if written in a foreign language.
DeleteGod bless, Tom.
Dearest Victor,
ReplyDeleteA waste of money... who wants a tattoo? Every time we see those 'embroidered' people we think they're nuts.
Often they did/do that as a group, feeling macho and let's do this! Later they might regret it but that's too late.
Hugs,
Mariette
I guess tattoos are very expensive. I don't know because I've never tried them. And it must hurt too I suppose. Often people want to remove them or cover them up with new tattoos at a later date - especially if it is a tattoo of a love one which you have broken up a relationship with.
DeleteGod bless, Mariette.
😜
DeleteI'll take a few cans of my favorite beer as a treat to myself rather than a tattoo!
ReplyDeleteGood idea, Kathy. Cheers!!!
DeleteGod bless.
Too funny. I don't think they print enough money to tempt me into getting a tattoo. Like the wise man said, "Why would you put a bumper sticker on a Bentley?"
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why people have tattoos and piercings.
DeleteGod bless you, Mevely.
That's a tough decision for you, good luck! :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed ... maybe I copied it wrong and need to check again.
DeleteGod bless you, Bill.
snap a photo, might be more accurate, however.... Not a good idea. I am smiling however, I see the ink on some folk and truly wonder what it says, and if they even know. I certainly wouldn't want an inscription that ordered 'Dry Clean only' What would the mortician think!
ReplyDeleteThe best to you my friend, do not machine wash!!!
Sherry& jack
Yes, I wonder if she'll allow me to take a photo of her tattoo. Good idea, Jack. Thanx.
DeleteAs you say, how can people have tattoos of words they do not understand.
Keep smiling my friend. God bless you and Sherry.
Hey Victor, I'm featuring you and honoring you today as the Wittiest Commenter on my blog!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.lindastoll.net/2021/12/jumbo-2021-blog-celebration.html
Happy New Year!
Thank you so much, Linda, for your kind mention on your Blog. I am humbled and very grateful. Thank you.
DeleteBest wishes to you and your family.
God bless you all.
That is so funny! :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed it, Happyone, Keep smiling.
DeleteGod bless always.
You should probably go back and double check...often.
ReplyDeleteI have a tattoo of a chameleon but I can't remember where and I can't find it. (If I've used that joke before, sorry, I only have a few).
Good joke, JoeH. I like your sense of humour. Please call over here often.
DeleteGod bless you and yours.
The reason i don't have a tattoo is because i don't want to have to explain it to my grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, maybe it's best to keep her tattoo's meaning your little secret.
Good point, Mimi. Let her find out what it means next time she has a bath!
DeleteGod bless you.
I have thought about a tattoo in a bracelet style with my name, birth date and blood group, but I haven't got around to it yet and may never. I thought it might be handy for identification if I was ever in an accident and unable to speak for myself, at least they would know who I was. Three of my children have multiple tattoos and one grand daughter also has multiple colourful tattoos.
ReplyDeleteI understand your reasoning, River. I guess it's not a bad idea to have identification tattoos.
DeleteGod bless.
Sounds like you got too good of a look at that tattoo, Victor - lol! Tattoos are definitely not for me.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
I had to be accurate in copying the inscription, Martha.
DeleteGod bless you always.
I once interviewed a man in the hospital when I worked for the Admissions Office and had his SS# number tatooed on his upper arm. When I asked for his SS# on the paperwork he outstretched his arm! I love when people say, this is a Chinese character for Honor or some other language! How do you really know that? I would not want to be dry cleaned hahaha!
ReplyDeleteGood idea to have the SS number tattooed; as long as they don't change the number again. I just stick a piece of paper with my number on it on my forehead.
DeleteGod bless, Tata.
