25/46Upside down, back to front. Was at a mates house, we sunk a few cold ones Tthe night was getting good. And then he pulls his tattoo gun out and say who’s up for a tattoo? I wasnt keen on him tattooing me but of course I thought I could tattoo myself. So I pulled out the laptop, got a few images on the screen and just started tattooing on my leg. When I woke up the next morning I felt a pain on my leg. Looked down and there you have it. Batman tattoo upside down and back to front but also backwards like it is in a mirror, so the letters are the wrong way too. I thought I did a wicked job. But the beer googles got the best of me. Will never cover it up as it is a good story to tell whenever anybody see it. Jason Goodwin
