my friend E and i went shopping on saturday. after a day of boiling in the hot sun, i made my way home around 7 o'clock. on the way home, there was an older man (i'd say in his 60s) who got on the train with his bike and a messenger bag.

the man had shoulder length hair that was dreaded. had a hat on, t-shirt, and shorts. he had tattoos all over his body that were just unsightly. they weren't sleeves or anything appealing to the eye. just kinda random and dumb tattoos.

then i looked at him in the face. i'm not one to judge people, but i couldn't help but think "how dumb of him to tattoo his face like this". he had a tattoo in the shape of a goatee around his mouth. then he had two little shields tattooed on each of his cheecks with the english flag (not the union jack flag, the white with red cross). then he had two hoop piercings (one in each nostril) in his nose, then a hoop piercing around one of his tattooed eyebrows.

it just looked weird.
