You may have already heard about this incident.  It was covered in my local news.  Here’s the scoop:

CHAPARRAL, N.M. — Getting a tattoo can be a painful proposition, but usually it’s just the needle you have to worry about.

Two men trying to trace a loaded .357-caliber Magnum as a pattern for a tattoo accidentally shot themselves, the Otero County Sheriff’s Department said Monday.

Robert Glasser and Joey Acosta, both 22, were treated at a hospital in El Paso, Texas, after the shooting Thursday evening in nearby Chaparral.

Authorities said Glasser was struck in the hand when the gun accidentally went off, and Acosta was hit in the left arm. Their injuries were not life-threatening, authorities said.

Now, I have a tattoo.  Of a cute little dolphin jumping up out of the water.  But do you think I brought in a dolphin to get it traced?  Nooo.  Do you have any idea what a pain in the ass it would be to rent a U-Haul, fill it up with salinated water, put the dolphin in the truck, and take it over to Saints and Sinners to get the tattoo traced and filled?

If I were going to get a tattoo of a gun, I would have it traced onto my gut near where my pants sit at the waist.  That way, I could walk around like I am a cool bitch involved with the EVG in Austin, and flash my belly to people so that they think I have a gun.  I would even have it inked in pink, with a cute little dolphin on the handle (or whatever you call the damned thing).

In fact, why not tattoo a shotgun on your stomach to the side?  Then, I could walk around in my London Fog and flash people like Klebold and threaten to take everyone out.  I mean, why stick with a puny-ass little hand gun?  A shotgun would be much more fearsome. And that way, I could just wear my bra under my coat as well, so that everyone can see my boobs and my shotgun.

Benefits of shotgun tattoo:

1. I could finally buy that mexi-mobile with the neon lights on the bottom and the hydraulics to pump the car up and down.  I have always wanted one in pink with flames on the side.

2. I could drive around in South Dallas without fear of getting shot.

3. I could use it as a ruler to determine the length of a man’s penis.

4. No one would fuck with me at work.  I would be able to tell people what to do.

5. I could use it to force hot men to have sex with me.
