The only tattoos I have are the scars that happened because my hand / leg / other part of my body was at the wrong place, wrong time.

For example: I have a small 1cm scar on the top of my right hand. When I was 12, I was over David Kelly's house in the country. They had a pasture for the cows fenced in by a barb wire / electrified wire fence. We often crossed the pasture as a shortcut to some trails. One of us would lift the barb wire to allow the other to duck under safely. Once when I offered to lift the barb wire, David told me to keep lifting the barb wire to create a bigger gap. I didn't notice how close I was getting to the hot electrified wire until it was too late! That wire gave me quite a shock, and the aforementioned "tattoo" to remember that prank. That scar reminds me of countless adventures we went on - bking all over, sledding in the winter, plinking, county fairs, wild blueberry picking... good times, simpler times...
