I'm not buying one of you because you live too long.

Sorry,
Me

Dear Tattoos,

I might actually consider getting one of you if I could have you removed for about the same price and with the same amount of effort when I inevitably a) decide you look old and stupid, b) become less passionate about whatever you represented in my life, or c) decide I'm too old to look good with a tattoo.

Best Wishes,
Me

Sorry,
Me

Dear Arrogant Elitist Slime,

Refusing to do or like something only because it's popular is just as lame as only listening to top 40 radio.
