sometimes we do things on impulse – stupid things we regret later.

i read somewhere of someone who got an elaborate tattoo all over their entire back — and then regretted it later during swimsuit season.  and even i, who have this great fear of sharp, pointy things figured that maybe one day – like on a significant birthday — i too would get a tattoo.  nothing horrid mind you, just something small and cute.  but the realization of having to endure those sharp metal things constantly poking my flesh for possibly hours at a time does wonders for my reality check.

and then of course there is also the reality check of public scrutiny and possible ridicule of one’s tattoo.  that works for me as well but obviously not for the poor thigh of impulsive Luis Salgado:

sometimes people get dumb tatts and really regret them later.  um well, Luis was unavailable for comment.  snap.
