BARNEY STINSON'S FIELD GUIDE TO TATTOOS
NAMES
"Hey,everybody, look at me! Not only have I made the foolish mistake ofchoosing a lifetime of monogamy, I have also permanently branded myselfas off-limits." Bravo.
TRIBAL BANDS
"Hey,everybody, look at me! This band looks like a scar of manhood that Iearned when my village banished me to the hinterlands for seven dayswith no food or water, like in that Kevin Bacon basketball movie." Nice try. That's a bracelet.
DRAGONS
"Hey,everybody, look at me! I have a fearful dragon on my arm! Are you scared? Good, because this baby's supposed to ward off intruders from my mom's basement."
CHINESE SYMBOLS
"Hey,everybody, look at me! I'm governed by an Eastern philosophy as thesesignificant Cantonese and/or Mandarin characters chiseled into my fleshhopefully indicate. If I spoke or read this particular language,perhaps I could explain my perspective more clearly, but I guess you'll just have to take the scary-looking tattoo artist's word for it. I suredid."
LETTERS ON KNUCKLES
"Hey, everybody, look at me! There’s an important message on my fingers. Ofcourse, it has to be ten letters or less and you can only read it whenI'm waterskiing or getting arrested, but still, it's an importantmessage."
