When it comes to tattoos, especially those with meaningful stories, the experiences can be as varied as the designs themselves. In this post, we’re delving into the humorous world of “Prison Tatts” with none other than Shayne Smith on Dry Bar Comedy. Whether you have tattoos or are just curious, his stories will resonate with you and provide a good laugh.
Tattoos and Unexpected Conversations
Traveling often leads to exciting encounters, and tattoos can sometimes make you the target of unexpected conversations. In places like Utah, reactions to tattoos can range from admiration to sheer confusion. After one show, Shayne was approached by an elderly gentleman who gave him a bizarre compliment that left him scratching his head.
The gentleman said, “Hey ma”, I love your comedy. Good job, staying off the streets.” What “does that even mean? He assumed Shayne was some gangster because of his tattoos. But as Shayne points out, he’s prhe’sly the most non-gangster you’ll you’lleet—he cries at the end of Toy Story 3, just like everyone else!
Grocery Store Stares and Misunderstandings
Then, there was the time Shayne stood in line at a grocery store. A lady turned around, saw him, gasped, and promptly abandoned her cart full of groceries. Was she scared? Did she think he was a thief? This encounter left Shayne pondering the assumptions people make based solely on appearances. It’s not like these that highlight the stereotypes often associated with heavily tattooed individuals.
Interacting with Other Tattooed Individuals
Interestingly, Shayne’s Favorite interactions are often with other heavily tattooed people. It’s as if there’s an unspoken rule among them, and he feels like he already knows their life story: a troubled childhood, tough school years, and probably a love of bringing snakes to the park. Frankly, it’s no conversation for which he has the energy. Shayne’Shayne’shere emphasizes how stereotypes and preconceptions can exist even within the tattoo community.
“Where “Where’d Your Time?” – A F” any Walmart Encounter
One of his memorable encounters happened at Walmart. A man, completely covered in black and gray tattoos, flames licking up his head, locked eyes with him. Shayne knew the man would approach him, and he did. His opening line was: ” “Hey, man. Where’d you do your time?”
For the record, Shayne has never spent time in jail. But in the spirit of comedy, he decided to play along, replying, Sounds like you know how it is, man, did five years in Azkaban. No big deal.” The man’s reaction was priceless, and it made Shayne realize just how quickly people jump to conclusions based on appearances.
