Bad tattoos are like bad relationships. They both stay with you. Lol

Is there any way to stop posts from duffelblog.com from showing up in my feed? If I wanted to read garbage i would read The Onion or CNN.

I recall from my two hitches in the Marines that many a young man recently minted a Marine from his MOS training would rush to the local Jacksonville tat parlor. I recall a time in my Marine Combat Training cycle that the evening before we were scheduled to hit the field for our two week war, our Sergeant gave us all an order to not get a tat until the school was finished. One young man with his bunk in my vicinity went out that night and got three tats. They had a bandage on them but they were still oozing. I forget how he faired but I earned a bad yeast infection (like athlete's foot) in a place I wished had not plus I fell in a nest of chiggers. Chiggers are vermin which bore under the skin, eat up, and then they go off to what ever full chiggers do. I was covered above my knees (I am 6'4") with itchy welts. I was able to get a medicine lotion for them at the BX when I was allowed off site from 'the war' and applied that liberally. I had to go to sick call a bunch of times at my next post in Meridian Mississippi for my various afflictions from that training. The moral of my long anecdote (sorry) is to never fall into a bush with a chigger nest in them.
