If life gives you lemons . . . make lemonade!


I was amused to read of a novel tattoo developed for a man who lost his arm. The Daily Mail reports:

Heine Braeck, 33, was sick of his 'tired-looking' amputated limb, which was injured in a childhood accident on a train track.

The Norwegian, of Sarpsborg, decided its shape was identical to a dolphin's head, so he asked Bulgarian tattooist Valio Ska to turn it into a 3D tattoo of the marine animal - with uncanny results.




There's more at the link.

I've got to admit, that's a pretty lifelike dolphin's head shape - but wouldn't armpit hair make it look like a bearded dolphin? Also, I don't know whether armpits smell suf-fish-iently dolphin-like. Perhaps a fish-scented deodorant might help?

Hey, if you've got to live with it, why not laugh about it?

Better a top predator of the aquatic food chain than a professional victim!
