A funny story about tattoos:
Years ago, a friend of mine was getting HOUSTON tattooed across his stomach, in Old English letters. They get about halfway done – and two other inmates get into a fight. A slew of guards come running in, break it up, and take the two guys to lockup. For some reason, they then decided to do a shakedown and search the area for contraband – and of course they find the tattoo gun and ink.
Meanwhile, my homeboy is irate. They were in the middle of a tattoo when all this took place, and they just lost all their equipment. To make matters worse, now he’s running around with HO tattooed on his stomach! Which we all found absolutely hilarious – but it clearly wasn’t the best time to joke with him about it. Having that tattooed on your stomach (or anywhere!) isn’t exactly a good look, in TDCJ.
Needless to say, he hurried up and got it finished, and we all lived happily ever after. The moral of the story, if there is one: Don’t let this happen to you. Be very cautious about what, where, or when you get a tattoo, because you’ll be stuck with it forever. So says Dannyboy.
