Excuses I Would Try for Having a Butterfly Tattoo

-If you look closely, it’s actually a bullet.  With butterfly wings.  Which is not my favorite song, or even my favorite Smashing Punkins song.  But of their songs, I felt it would make the best tattoo.

-There are certain words we don’t use any more.  Generally the kinds of words that mean something like, oh I don’t know, NOT WELCOME.  So sometimes it’s smart to just cover them up, ASAP, and you get flustered and just tell the tattoo guy to cover it with his specialty.

-You never heard of my army unit?  The Fightin’ Butterflies?  We loved the taste of blood.  Which we tasted with our feet, as butterflies are known to do.

-[I started inventing an excuse about it being a caterpillar originally, but that was too cute for my liking]
