Of all the ways to potentially screw up a friendship, and friend, there are many, you’d have to give a 9 out of 10 to letting your niece do a dirty big tattoo on one of your best friends’ back. Unlike a bad haircut, the expiry date for trouble should it go wrong is akin to that of a Mcdonalds all-beef patty – infinity.
So you’ll understand, I’m sure, why I would perform circus tricks to change the subject whenever they got together – “Oh look! Whoever would have thought I could do a handstand drunk and in heels!” But this was a runaway train no amount of throwing drinks on myself was going to stop.
Imagine my relief then when I turned up (late, waiting for the valium to kick in) to the first sesh at Korpus, and saw Amanda’s happy face. Oh joy! Maybe there is a god! What a kicking talented niece I have in Jaclyn, our painted lady. Same blood in our veins remember – same blood.
Stress over, I settled into my ring-side seat with my latte and SLR, disturbed only by falling on the ground laughing when a guy in the other booth asked me if I have any tattoos. “Me?” “Mwwwaaahhahaahaaahaaa!” Hold on while I stitch my sides up. Buddy, I have to ask the audience when I’m deciding which wine to order.
No, no tattoos, I’m here for the show – I like to watch.

Hello Tiff!
Funny you should say that, because that’s exactly what I have planned for later in the year – a mixed show with Jac!
Let’s speak soon huh.
