tattoo

Many people think that tattoos are a terrible idea. That is what they keep telling me.



Actually, I think this flowchart is flawed. I have determined that getting a tattoo can be a really good idea in certain situations. Here are the situations in which getting a tattoo would be an advantage.

1) You have an evil twin.
An evil twin is always trying to impersonate the good twin. Sometimes, the evil twin has some defining feature that sets him apart, usually a mustache.



However, what if the evil twin were to shave his mustache? The good twin should get a secret, identifying mark that the evil twin does not know about. That way, when the evil twin tries to steal the good twin's identity, he will be quickly found out.

If you have an evil twin, I suggest you get a tattoo like this one:



2) You are really, really terrified that someday, you might get amnesia. [NOTE: THIS IS MY REASON.]
What if you wake up one day in a hospital with amnesia? The doctors can't describe you well, because your description is "Young, female, black hair, brown eyes." There's a million people described that way, so it is hard for anyone looking for you to find you. In that case, it would be useful to have some identifying mark so that your husband/parents/family who are looking for you can easily describe you to others. (Make sure it's something no one else has, otherwise it is useless!)



You have to get a really weird tattoo in this case, that your family can write on any missing person notices. I suggest one like this:


Yeah. Who doesn't like narwhals?

3) You are a farm animal.
Farm animals always have ear tattoos. I think this is so that farmers can tell them apart, but I'm not sure. Either way, you'd be really out of place if you were the only farm animal without a tattoo.



Farm animals usually have tattoos of numbers, but I think you should be more creative.


Here is the revised flowchart:
