When I was in the Marines, I felt pressured to get an ink job to remember the experience of being there. I’m so glad I didn’t get one. The Marine experience was weird enough without having an additional reminder…
I once got sucked into a conversation where the question was – if you got a tattoo, what would it be?
My answer – temporary.
They wouldn’t take temporary for an answer, and that’s when I quit visiting Capitol Hill.

There’s a great Jimmy Buffet song called “Permanent Reminder of a Temporary Feeling“, the first verse is about getting a tattoo.
Perfect encapsulation of the subject, especially for the ones seen in the annual MPS bad tattoo week…
