and now for a bad joke…

World’s skankiest tattoo

A forehead tattoo which reads

“Please don’t pull on my ears… I know what I am doing!”

Skanks tend to have tatoos more often than non skanks, so if adverts were of typical tatooed women, one would expect them to be disproportionately weighted toward skanks.

I’ve seen tattoos on incredibly sexy women. I’m not sure why tattoo magazines wouldn’t have pictures of them.

Because those girls are all submitting their pics in to the Suicide Girls site 😃

I’m one of the people who commented on his remarks, but I’m more amused than anything, and not the least bit offended.

Then my post wasn’t directed at you, was it? 🙂

[QUOTE=John Carter of Mars]  
Oh, no, no. Don’t do anything rash like removing the picture.

My wife has a double handful of tattoo’s. I love her. If she decided she could only be happy with a full body tattooing, well, then she would do it. I love her regardless.

She’s also about the polar opposite of a skank. Darn it. heheh…
