[kj][OT] tattoos?

[Steve Hackett]

Noted your comments re parental disapproval - my mom has never commented at 
all and considering the one on my leg stretches from my knee to my ankle and 
I always wear shorts from April to September she cant say she hasnt seen it!
its always irritated me more than if she'd told me I was an idiot - after 
all isnt that what parentings about??
