Tattoos are cool. On other people. I personally am terrified that my trendy tramp stamp will some day look like a watermark running down my sagging ass. More than anything I am afraid of the process. Tiny, ink-filled needles digging into my flesh.
Don't get me wrong. I want one. But I haven't found The One that I just can't live without - or where to even put it, so it doesn't morph into Betty White over the next 50 years.
So, as I was surfing across the internet, ( I was actually on an article about the train wreck known as Lindsay Lohan) when I was linked to the
newest trend in body tattooing.
What is that you ask? What body part could possibly be trending to tattoo that hasn't been thought of and is also a synonym for Lindsay Lohan? Well, I'm glad you asked, because I just have to share my new found wealth of useless - and quite frankly, disturbing information.
It's the anus. Yes. you read that right... It's the ASSHOLE people.
Okay, first of all....WTF? I mean really... WTF??!! And second, let me say, I find it HILARIOUS that Lindsy Lohan's name was linked to 'Butthole tattoos'. I can understand a link on STDs, or lesbian bar fights, but this one made my day!
Oh look, there goes my A.D.D. again... back on topic...
So, how exactly does one prep that area? With a Bic and a
Cottonelle Wipe?!
Ok, sorry... scratch that thought... what I meant to say was, WHO THE FUCK is retarded enough to say, "Hmmm... I think the lower back is too slutty, so I want to spread my ass in front of a total stranger and he can poke my butthole with his tattoo gun. And I want it to say my boyfriend's name. Tee hee".
Why, for the love of all things holy, (snickering) would you not only get a tattoo on your asshole, but break the number one Cardinal Rule in the history of tattooing, and get your boyfriend's name there??
Why not something like, "Please use other entrance", or "Ninguna entrada" for those special trips abroad?
Perhaps a little something artsy fartsy (snickering) like daisy petals surrounding your "sepal" - or how about swirling water, like in a toilet -
anything but a boyfriend's name.
I could never get anything discernible written or drawn on my butthole. I have had three children - au natural- and in no way, would I ever put myself - or the poor unfortunate tattoo artist through that sort of inhuman torture. The girl in
this video is 22 - or as she put it "DOS - DOS". She probably doesn't even know what the fuck a hemroid is but according to her, an asshole tattoo "...feels so fucking good!".
Ummm... how about NO? You know what feels good? A foot rub. A neck massage, a soak in a warm bubble bath, getting your hair washed by someone else... but no way in hell could I imagine little needles in my ass feeling anything close to "good". I would imagine it feels more like a scrub down with a Christmas cactus.
And how do you explain that to your Gastroenterologist when you are 50 yrs old and ready for your colonoscopy? "Well... you see doc... there was this one night in Florida at the Annual South FL Tattoo Expo, and I had a bottle of Yeager, and I was dos-dos... and ....well..." YOU CAN'T sweet cheeks. Don't even try.
So, to wrap this bit of useless and disturbing informational piece up, I will say I may still consider one day getting a tattoo, though my window of opportunity is closing fast. However, you all will be glad to know I will not follow any self proclaimed innovators in the tattoo industry, and have my booty hole tatted up for the sake of following a trend. To those of you that do, well... good luck with that.
