OVERHEARD: TATTOO
Scenario: Girl in her mid-twenties talks to a friend on the street corner.
Girl: …and on my calf I want a heart and a cloud with a rainbow. Then coming out of the cloud, I want like little hearts and stars and lightening bolts. Friend: (Dubious look.) Girl: Like, not hell of um, but a few.
well if your gonna get a tattoo with little hearts and stars and lightening bolts and a cloud and a rainbow WHY NOT get a hell of um?!?
this made me laugh and laugh…thanks
…and, like, sitting on the cloud, I want a teddy bear, holding a lollipop, and hugging hello kitty.
Let’s not forget the angels and the unicorn. Kids these days.
Oh, a few! Well in that case it sounds just fabulous!
That tattoo sounds magically delicious.
Why does this remind Bossy of Steve Martin in ‘The Jerk’? “Just a heart, cloud, rainbow, stars, lightening bolts, and this ashtray. That’s all I need.”
That’s gonna look so cool on ‘Granny’ someday.
Oh, that’s not going to be regrettable. Good thinking to go with a classic.
I can tell this person is focused on the future and not just living in, you know, the here and now. Because this will definitely look hawt in ten years!
This sort of reminds me of my aunt who got a singing angel tattooed on her breast. Afterwards she questioned the wisdom of getting something whose mouth is going to spread wider and wider as time and gravity wear on.
Who says that today’s young people have no sense of decorum? This gal is clearly classy!
But where will the dolphin and the butterfly go?
You mean “Klassy.” I can imagine Jackie O, Grace Kelly and Coco Chanel musing about what makes a girl stand out in today’s world. A rainbow tattoo on her calf. We’ve come a long way baby.
Speaking as a woman in her mid-twenties, I see nothing at all wrong with tattoos and I don’t feel that they are lacking in class… but are you effing kidding me?! Well, whatever blows her skirt up I guess. She’s going to have to be the one that lives with it. Just out of curiosity, was she skinny with dyed hair and a ridiculously short skirt/shorts? Because somehow, that seems like it would fit.
As a lifelong NorCal girl who has said “hella” maybe once in her life, I feel compelled to point out that if this girl had been ten, she would have followed the accepted NorCal elementary school language protocol and said “Like, not heck of um, but a few.”
