Then there are the tattoos on legs and ankles that from only a few yards away look like bruises and acute varicose veins.

Late last century/early this one a male friend bought a sheet of small "temporary tattoos" & wore a postage-sized spider web on his cheek & it looked just like a bruise. I hadn't thought of it for years! He didn't get a permanent tat, probably cos he didn't get a good reaction to the experiment.

I remember an earlier thread about tattoos where a Catter referred to a female relative's small Blue Bird on her stomach. Pregnancies & weight gain made the bird into a giant.

I've also seen a young friend rubbing soothing ointment into her new tattoo, as it was hurting badly. She wasn't regretting getting it done, but didn't like the pain. No pain, no gain?
