(3:52pm) Ian: And it'd just really been stuck in my mind lately

(3:52pm) Ian: Well

(3:53pm) Ian: It's been a LOT since I first ever thought about it

(3:53pm) Mick: spit it the fuck out already ian.

 (3:53pm) Ian: I'm getting there!

(3:57pm) Ian: Thank you.

(3:57pm) Ian: I was walking around the mall today

(3:58pm) Ian: Wanted to stop by Costco but some weirdo saw the tits on my back and lured me into his little sketchy ass shop

(3:58pm) Ian: And I really, REALLY tried to walk away until he showed me this stupid fucking DIY tattoo kit

(3:58pm) Ian: And I dunno I just bought it

(3:58pm) Ian: It was some impulsive thought or some shit I don't even know what came over me

(3:59pm) Ian: Something just clicked

(3:59pm) Mick: the fuck????

(3:59pm) Ian: Let me finish!

(3:59pm) Ian: Whatever, I ended up propping up a little mirror and just...freeballed it?

(4:01pm) Mick: show??

(4:02pm) Ian: It's not a wonder to look at

(4:02pm) Ian: Don't really know what to do with it, scared it'll get infected if I just let it sit around 4 too long

(4:05pm) Mick: fuckin hell and you had to tell me this while i'm still out with my brothers??

(4:07pm) Ian: I'm sorry!!

(4:07pm) Ian: I just thought that since you did it first you'd know how to treat it!

(4:07pm) Mickey: mine got fucking infected!

(4:07pm) Mickey: you're the emt here asswipe!

(4:07pm) Ian: Yeah but how the fuck am I supposed to sanitize a tattoo with no actual medical shit!

(4:08pm) Ian: All we got is a couple bandaids!

(4:08pm) Mick: well you should've started with that cus i don't give a shit about treating it now!!

(4:08pm) Mick: you tattooed my fucking name on your tit??

(4:08pm) Ian: Well that's what I just said, isn't it!!

(4:08pm) Ian: I was thinking of getting it done at a proper tattoo shop but I kinda wanted to do it the same way you did

(4:08pm) Ian: Or something

(4:08pm) Ian: Idk

(4:09pm) Ian: Fuck it sounds stupid when I say it out loud
