Hi Allie,

you must have a good job if you can afford to get tattooed 4 times in a month!!!!!!!!!!

If it radically improves their life then I suppose they will feel it is worthwile. I just wonder if they will feel it is worth it when the money has gone....although I suppose they could sell another ...

Hi OB,
