Avocado

I was on vacation in Thailand and felt like getting a tattoo. I stood there for some time and pondered which design to choose. At last I decided on an avocado. I wanted it on my back. It was going to be dark green and ridged. It was going to be big. To cover my entire back from ass to shoulders. My friend Lasse who accompanied me shook his head and thought I was screwy. I imagined that the tattoo would go perfectly with the cocktail tomatoes that I’d gotten tattooed all over my chest and belly the previous summer.
