Highly quotable.
You've given this tattoo zero thought.
I wanted this tattoo for 16 years.
The premise
Here’s the bit.
A drunk businessman stumbles into a tattoo parlor, first checking that it is not a porn shop, and insists on getting inked right now. The artist refuses to work on someone this wasted, but the customer pushes on with a design that keeps piling up: a video-game villain in sunglasses shredding a double-neck guitar while surfing, with cursive lettering, a pot leaf and a cross added as he talks. When the artist calls out that he is inventing it on the spot, the customer claims he has wanted it for years, then swaps in a birthday greeting for a friend, and the artist finally gives in and leads him to the back room.
The rabbit hole continues
