Think Before You Cause An Ink Stink

(I had just finished a grueling five-hour tattoo session before I head off to work. My right arm is sore and wrapped in plastic to protect the newly made tattoo. I sit and chat with a coworker for a bit before a second coworker shows up.)

Coworker: “Does this hurt?”

(He proceeds to squeeze my arm. I swing around and slap him with my left hand in the back of his head. I manage a perfect hit as he goes all bug-eyed.)

Coworker: “Ow! What the h***?”

Me: “There’s your answer.”

(He didn’t pester me anymore that day.)
