Tai Chi “News of The Weird”

I thought I’d have a little fun today.  Ever see someone sporting a tattoo of a Chinese Character?  It’s something you see often at martial arts tournaments.  I do have to admit they usually look pretty cool.  Sometimes though, I wonder if the tattoo artist pulled a fast one. 

I found this off-beat inspiration from an old “News of the Weird“:

David Winkelman, 48, was arrested in Davenport, Iowa, in September on a misdemeanor warrant, still sporting “The Tattoo.” In late 2000, Winkelman, reacting to a radio “contest,” had his forehead inked with the logo of radio station KORB, “93 Rock,” because he had heard on-air personalities “offer” $100,000 to anyone who would do it. Winkelman had the tattoo done before checking, however, and the disk jockeys later informed him that the “contest” was a joke. (Winkelman filed a lawsuit against the station, but it was dismissed. Ten years later, the “93 Rock” format has expired, but Winkelman’s forehead remains busily tattooed.)

Your thoughts?
