Mean it? Write it in ink!

When my fifteenth birthday rolled around, I decided to get a tat I'd been thinking about for quite a while.

Some of my buddies were giving me grief, telling me that if I went back out and got sober again in the next half year, I could get it changed to "03" pretty easy.  Supportive group, those lads.

I guess I missed the boat on that one.  And 08 as well.  Now, my next easy mod on the tat comes in 2033...

Naaaah, screw it.  I want to get the triangle and circle thickened up a bit; it's going to make it harder to change the numbers later.  I guess I'll just have to stay sober. 

Next time, something subtle.  Maybe a huge Asian dragon on my back, with three-toed feet, holding up a blue book in one claw, with the other front claw resting on a giant pearl?  He would be looking back at you, while walking up a flight of twelve steps.  Background done like an old Chinese landscape painting; pines, clouds, rivers, impossibly steep mountains.

Can't be wasting any money on changing numbers if I want that...
