i'd never be lonely with a lampshade tattoo

i don't know if i want to get a tattoo. people usually get tattoos to say something about themselves "on themselves"... you know... to show something unique about them, to stand out. girls will typically get something like an angel or a fairy, and boys usually get something "manly" like chinese symbols or a dragon. in a nutshell, tattoos are usually people just wanting to show their uniqueness. SO, i came to the conclusion that if I ever get a tattoo it'd have to be something like an alligator wearing slippers and holding a lollypop or something totally meaningless and random like a lampshade or something. this is basically for the purpose of conversation because when you think about it, how many people are going to ask you about your barb-wire tattoo when they could ask about your stellar looking lampshade, eh? so if your going to mark your body and you want to be original i think you should get a lampshade tattoo because when it comes down to it, you'd never be lonely with a lampshade tattoo.

go with the lampshade.

it's original, and would make my own work original, too. i make human leather goods and believe your lampshade tatoo will look great as a lampshade.

we just need to set up a contract. i pay you an annual fee for the rights to cut off your tatoo and the skin around it when you die, in that unlikely (in the short term) event. my art is becoming more well known so i can pay some good fees. contact me at human.leather.goods@gmail.com.

i look forward to hearing from you. i think a leather lampshade in one of my artworks is the perfect and cool way to memorialize you.
