Never trust a stranger (or a tattoo artist you don’t know)

Terry sends me the breaking news that an Argentinian football fan wanted to get a tattoo of his favourite team on his back, and went to a tattoo artist who was a fan of their rival. Result? He got a tattoo of a penis. It’s one thing to sue the artist, but now he’s going to either have to live with a willy on his back or get a cover-up job that won’t be as good — had the original idea been executed.
