Went to a tattoo convention a couple of years ago. Highly recommended slice of life experience. People showcasing their tats according to category - categories included Biblical and Disney characters. The hum and smell of tattooing permeating the convention floor.

That sounds like quite an anthropological expedition, Liza. Rule of Three's research team is way too lazy (and, in fairness, their travel budget is tiny) to conduct such proper research.

Do you think the Pulitzer committee will ever consider Substack posts for awards? Hope so, because newspaper-readers are getting to be as rare as people with no tattoos.

Ouch! Too true, Melvin. Regardless, Dave Barry, even without a newspaper home any more, still brings the heat - check him out! And, yes, Pulitzers should be awarded to Substackers - I'll support your nomination, if you support mine. . .

I say shoulder over wrist. Also, google “fat guy Philly phanatic tattoo” for the most disturbing tattoo you will ever see 🤣

Henny, you’re right - that is truly disturbing. And, having lived in Philly for six years, I recognize many of the local landmarks featured on his ample canvas. Maybe you’re right about the shoulder.
