I have a tattoo... an old friend did it with a sewing needle and indian ink in a pay by the hour hotel. I have a photo somewhere.
Anyway, we each deform ourselves daily... A computer nerd hunched over a desk all day until my spine isn\'t where it should be... climbing rocks until my finger tips bleed... riding (and falling off) motorbikes so my shoulder has a lump that\'ll probably hurt in later life.
We all have little things like that - only we don\'t pay an artist to do it.
