Thomas was 21 years old when his childhood came back to haunt him. All his life, he was made fun of because of his man boobs. Thomas wanted to be set free from his nickname, so he went to a tattoo shop. Thomas asked for a bull tattoo because it was manly and strong. The tattoo started, but there was a tornado warning, so everyone ran out of the tattoo shop. They ran to the bar in the shelter below, and Tattoo Artist began downing all the hard alcohol. The tornado warning was over, and they headed back to the tattoo shop to finish the tattoo. The Tattoo Artist Daughter didn't want her drunk Dad to do the tattoo, so she took over. When the tattoo was done, Thomas hated it, and thought that the daughter was trying to make fun of his man boobs, too.

It's been hard for DAVID to accept the death of both parents. Since his father's death in 1995, he's been a father figure to his sister. They share the same birthday, a day apart with a 6 year difference. Every year for his SISTER's birthday DAVID tries to top off what he did the year before. This year DAVID flies his SISTER to Orlando for a surprise cruise for her birthday. He picks her up, she's all excited and he tells her he needs to stop and get a haircut. While in the BARBER's chair, DAVID tells him it's their birthday weekend. The BARBER suggests they get birthday tattoos. DAVID asks if he has something in the back, the BARBER tells DAVID the last chair in the shop is for tattoos. DAVID likes the idea and tells his SISTER "Hey I have a surprise for you." DAVID tries to talk her into getting a tattoo of their dead parent's faces. SISTER says, "Your're crazy! A tattoo in a barber shop?" DAVID's haircut is finished. They move to the last chair to get his tattoo. While the BARBER is tattooing DAVID, his SISTER hovers over his shoulder asking "Why is your hand shaking? You seem nervous!" When the tattoo is finished, DAVID looks in the mirror and is upset. SISTER makes it worse. SISTER says, "Mom looks like a big headed Betty Boop and Dad looks like a crystal meth head with meth teeth! DAVID is trying to pay respect to his dead parents and now has a tattoo that looks like a joke.
