And aside from the over-sized tranny, (lets call her Joyce) there wasn&#8217;t much of a difference from it and a normal bar.  Well that&#8217;s what I thought until I was going to the little boys room and got a little surprise.  I was almost done with Big Ben when I hear &#8220;Nice dick!&#8221; from outside of the stall I was in.  Needless to say my facial expression mirrored that of a man who just had an alligator come out of the toilet only to lick his wang and flush itself back down.  You wouldn&#8217;t be able to tell my shock from my calm voice replying, &#8220;I know right?&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"text-align: center;\"><p><strong>Gay Bar Lesson<\/strong>:  Gay bars are the same as others except for better bathroom conversation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Tattoos<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-886\" title=\"tattoo\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/tattoo.jpg\" alt=\"tattoo\" width=\"719\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ocbenji.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/tattoo.jpg 719w, https:\/\/www.ocbenji.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/tattoo-300x181.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 719px) 100vw, 719px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">After the great time having my dick admired, we were in the slowest drive-thru line ever when the topic of tattoos came up.  When it comes to tats, I&#8217;m clean and usually don&#8217;t speak on the topic.  Its never been something I ever thought about or felt that I wanted.  But of course the driver as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ocbenji.com\/blog\/2008\/01\/10\/me-vs-amberly-and-fate\/\" target=\"_blank\">she always does<\/a> made me question myself and ask why not a tattoo?  She asked me, &#8220;Don&#8217;t you have anything important enough to you to get on your body?&#8221;  My answer was of course, and obviously yes.  It would be something having to do with my son.  But then I made an excuse for not already doing it.  I said that if anything ever happened to him it would always make me sad.  Of course i was completely wrong but it did get me thinking.  So still under the &#8220;influence&#8221; and deep in thought, I gave myself my first tattoo, that just happened to be in the back seat I was sitting in.  A tiger on my chest next to my left nipple.<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"text-align: center;\"><p><strong>Tattoo Lesson<\/strong>: A tattoo is a permanent inscription on the skin meant to reflect the one on your heart.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Piercing<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-887\" title=\"piercing\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/piercing.jpg\" alt=\"piercing\" width=\"462\" height=\"368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ocbenji.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/piercing.jpg 462w, https:\/\/www.ocbenji.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/piercing-300x238.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 462px) 100vw, 462px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Later that night I got to check out a very interesting piercing kinda like the above picture.
