On Friday, someone's friend brought their TATTOO GUN into work and a bunch of my co-worker's got spur of the moment tattoos! Richard went with the old fingerstache and pretty much spent the next 3 weeks walking around with his finger over his lip just like this photo. Hahaha.

I asked her about it and she busted it out. Heart less. (Heartless! Get it?) It turned out, that she and Angelique had gotten matching heartless tattoos! Debbie was happy with hers...

And when I took a closer look, I couldn't help but notice that she was totally right. Check the side-by-side comparison! Debbie's "Heart-less" tattoo is on the left, Angelique's "Dick-less" tattoo is on the right. Hahaha. Amazing.

After the swings, we decided to get something to get something to eat. On the walk over I spotted what is hands down, the best tramp-stamp tattoo I've ever seen. What's that? Can you get a little zoom-effect? SURE, you can!

Check out Jessica totally blowin up her best friend's spot by pulling the ol' "get a load of her navel tattoo" finger-point. Hahaha. This photo makes me LOL every single time I look at it. Holy shit, what a great photo. This is exactly the type of thing my guy friends do in photos when they're trying to blow up someone's spot, so it's soooo funny to see two girls that are besties pull this same shit. Hahahaha.

Before calling it a night, Tinny and I got matching "best friends heartsies" tattoos. Our hearts are never complete unless we're side by side. Awwwwwwwww... (Ok, maybe they're actually just fake tattoos that were included as part of my going present to help me fit in with homeless people in San Francisco. Hahahah).

You are indeed, her bitch. From how tough Laurie looks in this photo you'd never guess that a mere two hours later she was throwing up in the bushes outside of the party we went to. She didn't only ruin her own night, she ruined Vin's as well by thwarting his plans to make out with her.
