Inked and irked: Snapple Watch users report tattoo problems...

Hobby Airport area tattoo artist, Sidecar Sophie, has reported a few problems in her business since switching from Fresca to Snapple...Sophie has always had a large straight male as well as lesbian clientele partially because she performs all her intricate tattoo work in the nude for freedom of movement...

She habitually hangs her wrist watch on her drink bottle, and because her clients enjoy watching her movements, they often ask her for the time, at which moment she usually takes a swallow of refreshment...Since switching to Snapple, the frequent time checks have led to an increased intake of caffeine from the tea-based drink, and consequently her movements have added more involuntary jerking and spasmodic twitching...

As much as the clients enjoy watching her movements, they complain that the quality of her needle-work has suffered...Not being the brightest graduate from tattoo school, her lack of spelling skills have always caused some concern from customers, but the added time spent covering the caffeine-induced errors have resulted in a lack of productivity...

The only thing that seems to calm her down in these moments is the presence of the taciturn local handyman, Gristmill Mikey, with whom she appears to be enamored...Mikey makes regular visits to her shop, and allows her to gather her nerves by practicing her craft on his own skin, which is now impervious to harm...

Sidecar Sophie, like most people upon meeting Mikey for the first time, thought he was wearing biker's garments made from antique, bronzed, copper-riveted cowhide...As it turns out, this is actually his own skin, and the only clothing he ever wears, besides his engineer's boots and tool belt, is the chain-mail loincloth he fashioned from Harley-Davidson drivechain links...

His skin became so hardened over the years from sun exposure and motorcycle spills on pavement, that doctors began to quickly wear out surgical needles in sewing up his various road-rash injuries...One ER physician hit on the idea of using copper rivets in a hydraulic press instead of surgical sutures, and this resulted in the random designs which contribute to his unusual appearance...

Sophie's work on Mikey's skin is actually just pen & ink renderings which wash off in the rain, but give her a chance to spend time with him...The item pictured below is not, as many might think, a belt and buckle, but is actually Gristmill Mikey's own tongue, which might also explain some of Sidecar Sophie's attraction to him...
