True story; back in the day (about 14yo) bowing to peer pressure, i tattooed myself with Indian ink and a sewing needle. I was dating a girl called Sue at the time. Well, she's probably still called Sue unless she's gone in for one of those fashionable gender transitions. Anyway, I tattooed the letter 'S' just above my wrist. Obviously Sue and myself parted company shortly after so i tried to tattoo a dagger through the 'S' to make it look like a snake winding it's way around the blade of the dagger. Big fail. It looks more like a snake with an umbrella:-)
