Forum Discussion - What Do YOU Say When They Ask if It's Real?

Sunday February 15, 2004
One of the biggest pet peeves of tattooed folks is when people approach them and ask if their tattoos are real. Once you've been asked several times, it becomes old and you begin to realize how ludicrous the question really is. Have you come up with the perfect retort to this tiring query? The daughter of a forum member has come up with one gem:

"This is too funny - my daughter, the one with the full back angel wings has been asked so much over the last couple of days if that's a real tattoo that she finally got frustrated and said very sarcastically, 'No...it's an iron on'. (BDRAGOND)
