So, here's my idea..... What about we do a thread where we tell stories? I don't know if anyone is interested but for those who are, let's tell some stories. Only what you are comfortable with and want others to know.
My first story takes place in a far away land of fuckery called, Afghanistan. For those of you who are not familiar, there was a war there a few years back that I was involved with. It's important to note that during this time, I was not affiliated with the military directly and was employed privately which gave us a great deal more freedom than conventional participants in said conflict.
So its around 2009 - 2010 and I am working for a private contracting organization that I won't name but if you know, you know. If you ever heard one name regarding that industry, this was that name. And, along with the name came a very unique and easily identifiable insignia that we were known for as well. Our jobs were extremely exciting and full of wonder and amazement and as such, we had a lot of down time and boredom was the devils playground....
So some of us are talking about tattoos and the idea was, why don't we just do it ourselves? How hard can it be right? So, I ordered a really nice tattoo kit with a pelican case and everything and had is shipped in to me and we began doing tattoos on each other. Now, we were not tattoo artists and really had no idea what we were doing but thank goodness for YouTube and whiskey because we figured it out. So now I have been doing ink for a few years and its all blackwork and all traced and nothing fancy....and guys usually just brought me a bottle of whiskey and I would tattoo them until I couldn't any more and then we would begin again in a few days. It worked pretty well for me during this period and once I left that life, I never tattooed again.
This story involves that back story along with the idea that the company that I was employed by was very well known and, a tad controversial as well. I had a guy who wanted a tattoo of the symbol of the company along with a coverup that was a tribal design. So, he comes to me asking for this ink and I thought it was gay as fuck so ...... I decided to mess with him.. So, he and I design this and I outlined it on him, while I was drinking and I thought, "I should totally fuck with him" so I outline him and in the middle of this half sleeve, in ink, I wrote... "I LOVE COCK" and I didn't tell him. So I am drinking and I was like, lets do some more in a few days... So he goes around showing it off and people finally tell hm and he gets all pissed..... Anyway, he walked around for 3 days while I kept telling him I didn't have time to fix it.. He got picked on pretty good and I had a good laugh and so it worked out in the end.....
Lets hear some of yours.........
