When I was 14, my friend and I, in a moment of Black Sabbath inspired devotion, decided it would be sweet to tattoo, and I quote, “something metal” to each other, to show our devotion to the world of heavy music and satanic rock.

I will grant that this was a pretty metal thing to do, especially back then in the 1970′s when tattoos weren’t on every other person you meet, including grandparents and executives at large companies.

However, you can imagine that this led to giving one another some crap artwork as far as a tattoo goes! And you would be right to imagine such a thing, my friend, oh so entirely right…

How right? Well, we both got a freakin’ bat tattooed on our arms. A little indie ink, a pin, and some pain (and possibly some Jack Daniels, shhh!) was all it took to have a black blob that theoretically was a bat. Ah! What were we thinking.

Thank god for modern medicine. Because now, I ordered something called Tattoo Off after reading about it at this site called the Tattoo Removal Creams Guide. Sounds like it will work to remove my tattoo in about 2-3 months. Not bad, especially considering the (cheap!) price.
