Undercover Badass

SF Appeal intern Ramona just dropped a doozy on her blog not so serious:

Tattoos are badass, but bruises are undercover badass. Bruises are the new temporary tattoo. Bruises say I live my life rough, and I don’t even have to pay someone to draw it on. A bruise is like a tattoo that says “I’m rugged. Let’s party.”

    I recently had a bike crash and ended up with a black eye and some face bruises. Seemed to be a popular look.

    What about scars? They’re more permanent than bruises too.

      yes. reminds me of 2 things:

      the scene in Jaws

      and

      the restaurant biz. scars – burns in particular – badges of honor.

      what about ritual scarification?

        huh. that reminds me of one thing:

        The no reservation episode where Tony goes to Portland and does a segment on food related tattoos of those working in the restaurant biz?

    What about profusely bleeding open wounds? The ultimate in street cred. Impress all of your friends back in Des Moines. Or Boston. Friggin’ kooks.
