Thread Name: BS: Tattoos - why?
Subject: RE: BS: Tattoos - why?
Best tattoo I ever saw was one of Jesus. I'd been asked by the cardiologist I worked for to put a 24 hour ECG tape on a patient. He was a nice man, a chauffeur for one of the Royal family of Qatar.

Well, he came in, and I asked him to strip to the waist and lie down on the couch. A few minutes later I went in...and there was Jesus staring at me, from the Cross...full length, down his body, covering his whole chest, tummy etc..out to his arms.

I kinda gulped, grinned and silently vowed to get my own back on Dr. Spurrell, because I knew he'd not told me on purpose.. :0)

The patient told me that he'd been in the Merchant Navy as a young man and his mates got him blind drunk one night, and in the morning he 'woke up with Jesus' in more ways than one... ;0)

He went on to need open heart surgery, and Gareth, the surgeon, said it was the hardest operation he'd ever done, because matching up Jesus took absolutely ages, and he had to get him perfect..


The most bizarre tattoo I've ever heard about was not long ago, when a friend told me of someone she knew who's partner had had her name tattooed on his erm....er...um............(YIKES!).....as a sign of his committment to be faithful, after having had an affair.
