A local cleanskin has today found himself having to lie to his tattooed co-worker after the co-worker shoved a weeping chest in his face saying, ‘look at my new ink, isn’t it cool?’
Luckily for Mike Ropesly, the cleanskin, he was quick-witted and able to think on his feet, summoning a supportive response in 0.43 seconds.
“Oooh mate, that’s so cool! I love it. Does it have any significant meaning, or you just got it because you think it’s cool?”
For our readers, the tattoo is a romanticised image of a tribal dragon. There are some textual lines drawn seemingly at random around the image, it’s yet to be confirmed whether these lines are intentional or where the artist was checking to see if his gun was working.
“Oh, it’s definitely got meaning. I’ve been going through some shit and I feel like the dragon fighting St George. I feel like my spirit animal is a dragon, so dreaming about it was a sign. I got it over my heart because I’m dragonhearted.”
“It’s kind of a visual metaphor for how I wish my life truly was.”
“Ohhhh oh cool cool, cool. Cool.” said Mike the cleanskin.
“And what do the squiggly lines mean?”
“Oh, they’re how I wish straight lines were [haha]”
“Why be so straight? Why not be a squiggle? The world needs more squiggle.”
Mike informed the Advocate that his tattooed co-worker already has plans to add to his tattoo, he just has to wait for this one to stop weeping and itching.
More to come.
