Wow! Talk about unintended consequences. Little did I know that revealing a new invention by a colleague, the tattooing "pill," would revolutionize the body tattooing business. I ran into a friend of mine who likes tattoos. Maybe like is too small a word. She thinks "tattoo" the noun and verb day and night. She has now gone into the internal organ tattooing business. Very popular already, I hear. People get these special tattoos that make them sick for a few days. However, when they go to the doctor to get GI exams, they get a big kick out of the looks they receive when the tattoos appear on X-rays and colonoscopies.
My friend is working with my colleague to take this further, seeing that plastic surgeons are having tough times paying their bills in this economy. Their new market, they hope, is tattooing the insides of bodies, the ultimate fashion accessory. Plastic surgeons will refuse to tattoo specific names, telling their patients that they shouldn't get internal tattoos on a whim. Leave the "Tamara + John" tattoos for the epidermis. They're considering putting IDs on the organs for the times when, after their patients have lived a healthy, happy life, organ donation/sales will take over. We can hear the future country song: "Hello. My name is Bob and I have a liver named Sue! How do you do?"
