....get the double x - brand on your hip, and a green plastic ear tag with an assigned number, but becareful when you cross state lines, they'll want your brand inspection certificates...

warned my son, if you get a tat while in my house, i'll exercise my 9" grinder and take it off...or a piercing id be happy to remove with my pliers...

later in life they fade and look terrible, awful hard to get rid of if you ever change your mind..

not to mention that a lot of cases of "hep c" and other funk, that are spread from unclean needles at tat shops...

uhmmm.... lets see.. some ink on my arm or a liver transplant later in life......keep your ink, i'll keep my liver thank you.

..not even a nice bottle of chianti' and some farver beans would convince me either :p
