Revenge of the Tattoo

This entry is inspired by Indigo's blog. She talked about kids getting their boyfriend/girlfriend's name tattooed on their body. Not a good idea since most of us wish we could forget those past relationships. Not to mention we don't need a tattoo to remind us how idiotic we acted. So this story is for Indigo. My husband was working the burn unit one time (I cannot disclose the state or city but it wasn't TX or KS). He had a patient come in who had tried to burn his ex-girlfriend after beating the crap out of her. This patient basically wanted her dead and in a very hateful way. Somehow his IQ took over and he ended up burning himself with the gasoline (the ex-girlfriend lived and recovered). He burned himself over most of his body and the ONLY patch of skin they could get a graft from was the place he had a tattoo of her name. So this hateful jerk that could not stand his ex-girlfriend now had her name tattooed all over his body; across his arms, chest and neck. My husband said enjoyed putting that girl's name everywhere on that man. My hubby felt it was great punishment but wished he could have grafted it to his forehead as well.
