I'm not complaining

Only jerks get tattoos?

When people see my tattoo(s), they ask me about them, and one of two things happens.

If they have tattoos, they just say “cool.”

If they don’t have any tattoos, they tell me a story about how they saw someone who was covered in tattoos. A painter who worked on their house, or someone they met on a vacation. Then they say how the person turned out to be the nicest person ever. As though only rude people get tattoos. They tell me this, and I don’t know why. Because I have tattoos, and I’m nice. I’m not going to be surprised that they found someone else who has them and didn’t bite their face off.

Tell them I say hi, though.
