7. Wow, poor deer in perfect art. I got the mandatory military type before things went mainstream.

I was 20 from a sheltering family background and tatoos were unheard of. In the first year of military was doing the military "manly" things - smoking (tobacco), drinking. But still had upbringing taboo fears. So in the waiting area of the parlour, a young guy came in, all upset complaining, told the tatooist, "I wanted the head of a JAGUAR and this looks like a POSSUM!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I was filled with trepidation and had the cartoon in mind where a character does a long-stretch-of-leg to get out of the scene, but ultimately stayed.

Got an obligatory Navy anchor on the upper arm, but it's sort of small and crowded and just a prison-type outline. I only wear short sleeves, so it's never seen, but my pot belly doesn't allow for going shirtless anyway.
