Eleven years ago I got a tattoo on my lower back and two kids later (and of course eleven years) it's not looking like it did when I first sat straddling a chair for two hours. I want to have it covered up. Problem is, covering it up would make it a bit bigger.

Do you want the dictionary definition or an exposition on the aging hipster’s role in straight society, complete with musings on the mutability of the once-immutable art of body modification? |

Ohhh, entertain me with your musings. |

AKA a “slit” barcode. The Urban Dictionary has several more colorful descriptions and reasons why one should not go down this particular youthful folly path. |

“The Urban Dictionary has several more colorful descriptions…” Like tramp stamp? |

ha ha! I totally understand. I call it my “after my divorce” tattoo. I wanted one where it couldn’t be seen. My little secret. And that’s what I got. :) |

“Yuck! Another term I cannot stand. :)” Yes, well it’s certainly not a flattering phrase. I prefer as a definition “a permanent reminder of a temporary fad.”

Apparently you did, or you wouldn’t be regretting your decisions later in life. |

This is why years ago, I decided to compile a list of tattoos I want, and leave them in my will for the embalmer. |

A product already exists to remove those pesky tattoos… http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/turlingtons-lower-back-tattoo-remover/1358150 |

A real treatment does exist (no joke). It’s called a laser. |

Doc at Mission E.R. said one in four tattoo victims has hepatitis. Saves time dating or picking food venues… |
