Small Prick For A Nun

The Words:

Tarsier
Down syndrome
Nun
spatula
Tattooist
euthenasia
Stoichkov

The Story:

A nun walked into a tattooist studio and to discover the tattooist had Down’s Syndrome. The nun was a little concerned but the tattooist’s assistant assured the nun that the Down ’s Syndrome had meant the tattooist was one of the best in the business because the disease had made Des very artistic. Des had fantastic reviews and was highly regarded in his field. His claim to fame was the unusual tattoo that he did for footballer Stoichkov of a spatula which caused a ruckus in the press.

The nun had been considering the tattoo for a long time. She was missing some excitement in her life, and felt that nobody will ever see it under her habit. Ever since visiting the Philippines she had dreamt of having a tattoo of their native large eyed tarsiers etched on her rump.

Des got to work. The nun began to feel the needle and wondered if that is what it felt like to be given the euthanasia injection. She swiftly put this out of her mind and began to hum hymns to herself. After about half an hour the tattoo was done. She was really made up with the tattoo, but she decided never to tell a sole as she was worried about being thrown out the convent.
