She was underaged

so I had to be there with my daughter so she could get a tattoo.

While she was getting it, I hung out in the waiting room (needles, shiver) and amused myself with the stripper pole in the middle of the room. I went through the album with tattoo examples and flipped through the tatoo magazines.

In the magazines, in every photo of a woman, be it an ad, a picture accompanying an article or a woman as a tatoo, someone had taken a black marker and X out the eyes and drew a dark line ____________ across the mouth.

I was intrigued and bothered. I asked the tatoo artist about it and he confessed that he had done it.

"I have issues with women," he said.

Uhm, apparently.
