It has color, hurts and last for a short time therefore black & blue marks are G-D’s temporary tattoo’s. It may not be as pretty as “Lola” on your arm but it has a certain toughness and gets people to notice you. The good news that unlike a permanent tattoo it goes away over time and can easily return as your bang yourself again (for adult idiots only). Black & Blue the only tattoo I’ve gotten all my life and will probably continue to get. Ouch!
