The Ultimate Tattoo Design Search


Grab a beer, kick your feet up and let me tell you a little story about a bald guy, a motorcycle, two cops, a rattlesnake skull, a drunken hippy and the ultimate tattoo design search. Drink fast, because this one's gonna fly right past ya.


It all started with a few tokes from a bowl and a long ride on a winding road several years ago. I remember I was about half way through the really good corner when it hit me - I think I'll go get a tattoo. I'm not sure why that thought came to me. But maybe it was because I remembered seeing a ratty lookin' old building a few miles up the road. The sign on the building said Tattoos. He was obvioulsy very creative.


Anyway, when I walked inside the first thing I noticed was a rattlesnake skull sitting on a shelf with about a half inch of dust on it, and I started thinkin' about clean needles and diseases. Words jumped across the room at me. I think you need a haircut. As I turned around thinking That NEVER gets old. I noticed this fifty something year old guy with hair past his shoulders.


What can I do for ya baldy? he asked without a smile. To which I replied Just stopped in to check out your tattoo designs - searching the pictures on the wall to avoid looking directly at him. That stuff in the bowl I mentioned earlier had me feeling more than a little paranoid.


I think you need a clown face on the back of yer head! he grumbled. At this point I realized that I had two choices. I could beat up this old man or just walk out. Yet for some reason I chose option three - push back and see where it goes.


Maybe you should just shut the @#%# up! rolled off my tongue as two police officers came walking through the door. I was beginning to wonder which episode of The Twilight Zone I had just ridden into when one of the cops grabbed my arm and walked me outside. I thought I was in deep, deep ... stuff.


I was asked politely to Get back on your bike and get the hell out of here! So I did just that. I found out later that the old, drunk tattoo artist hadn't paid his rent on the building. The owner stopped by to collect about an hour before I got there and this guy punched him in the mouth. The landlord had gone home and called the cops - who were there to arrest the old hippy.


Needless to say my tattoo design search was over for the day. Hope your goes a little better, but then again - it was kinda fun.
