Live & Learn, indelible edition

Certain kinds of conventional wisdom that are just a matter of survival instinct for most people sometimes have to be learned through tragic experience by others.   Among these would be “Never have a disagreement with a friend and then let him give you a tat where you can’t see what he’s doing”. Do I even have to tell you what’s coming?:

A Queensland man faces criminal charges after allegedly tattooing a 40cm-long penis onto his mate’s back.  [...]

Police said the pair had a disagreement before the tattooing.

‘‘The victim wasn’t interested (in a tattoo) at first but he was talked into it and he said he wanted a Yin and Yang symbol with some dragons,’’ Detective Malcolm told the Queensland Times today.  [...]

‘‘When he got home he showed it to the person he lives with and she said: ‘I dont think it’s the tattoo you were after’.’’

Oh, to be a fly on the wall during the proud unveiling of this guy’s awesome yin/yang-dragon tattoo.  Bwahaa!
