Looking at this tattoo is kind of like hearing a punch line without having heard the joke that preceded it. “No, no, I said ‘horse PIANIST.’” Or “He doesn’t know that one, but maybe if you hum a few bars?” Or “So then the rabbi says, ‘There’s no such thing as kosher foie gras. Hey, what happened to my bunion cream?’”

You’ve got to hand it to a guy for making the best of a bad situation. I mean, one time I burned my hand while making crème brûlée. And yet it never occurred to me to turn the scar into a tattoo of a four-ounce ceramic ramekin. Which would have been totally hardcore. Right?

Really? A masturbation metaphor tattoo? Did you pass on Spanking the Monkey and Turning Japanese? I mean, sure, Onanism is one of the greatest gifts we’ve been given, but don’t you have other ways to celebrate it?
