SATURDAY NIGHT
& SUNDAY MORNING
thing happened this week.
I bumped into a friend of a
friend of somebody who is no
longer a friend because the friend
got too friendly with my friend. Something
like that anyway.
She was showing me her new tattoo which
was absolutely a tattoo of much value. Original
design, well executed, nice placement—blah,
blah, blah—it ticked so many boxes it was
practically a questionnaire. When we met, she
happened to be with her friend, who I knew
because she is also a friend of my daughter's
friend. I saw that she was tattooed as well but
with some rough looking text running across
her shoulder.
It wasn’t fantastically delivered script but
as is always my way with text tattoos, I need to
know what they say. What is it that you must
have written in words that a picture cannot
say in a thousand like they promised us?
What it said was this:
“Your wings were
ready but my heart was not”.
It’s a tattoo I’ve seen a thousand times
before and will probably see another thou-
sand before the year is out, but never much
thought about before. The key here is that
I knew her history—a few years back, her
mother died of a truly horrible wasting dis-
ease. Surely the worst death imaginable is
the one in which Death comes for you like a
creeping vine you can see.
She would have only been about fifteen
and as she turned eighteen—which was this
year—she went straight out and got this tat-
too dropped onto her shoulder.
I don’t cry often. I cried at the end of
Mar-
ley and Me
but so did Rob Zombie so that
makes it OK. I cried on the day I fell out of a
tree into a thorny bush face first and I cried
when The Doctor left Rose on the beach too,
but over a tattoo? This was a first for me.
Why the fuck are my eyes leaking?
This tattoo meant the whole world to her.
It was all that was left of the most important
thing in the world to her—which morphed
it into the most heartfelt tattoo I had ever
come across. As much as it pains me to admit

it, occasionally the reasoning behind a tattoo
is so important, you would be the Asshat of
the Universe to even think about questioning
its artistic merit.
As much as I will forever preach about how
all of human life should Get Good Ink and
promote that ethos until the sun falls from
the sky and burns the hair from the back of
your hand, sometimes, getting a tattoo itself
can mean so much that it’s OK to get what’s
possible and not what you should.
