George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He wanted to get a flaming skull tattoo on his left arm, but halfway through the session, his crewmates came rampaging through the town and accidentally killed the tattoo artist.
The skull’s outline and some of the red flames were complete, along with a long red streak from where the dying tattoo artist dragged the needle.
The other pirates made fun of George’s incomplete tattoo, but George told the story in bars and impressed the hell out of the bartenders, earning more than his share of free drinks.
