BUTTERFLIES AND SKULLS AND GOTHIC-FONT STATEMENTS AND LET'S NOT FORGET THE DREADED DOLPHINS, PLEASE! AND OMG. OMG NIC IT WAS SO HORRIBLE I CAN'T EVEN USE CAPSLOCKS TO DESCRIBE IT. There was this girl, right, who told her friend she wanted to get a tattoo and he, being a very helpful friend, drew her something. Now, before I get carried away by the horror of this memory, I'd like to point out that I am not a judgy person, I always try to be open minded and understand that everyone has their own style, okay? Okay. Now, this guy who draw something for the girl? He thinks he can draw like Michelangelo. The reality (and I don't want to be cruel, but I went to freaking art school, I freaking know what I'm talking about!) is that this guy draws, as my visual art prof used to say when we turned in something appallingly horrible, with his feet. He gave the girl a picture of something that she told me was a sun and a moon mashed together, but actually looked, and believe me I am not exagerating, like a wonky fried egg with a runny yolk with strange little black dots floating around (which I later learned were supposed to be bats). And she wanted me to tattoo it exactly like that. And I had to, too, because she wouldn't hear a single thing about redrawing it to look like a fucking sun and moon together. When I finished inking her she was all "omg this is so cool! I'll tell everyone you did it!" and I told her to please, please, not to do it because there was no way I wanted anyone ever knowing that I did something so horrible.
