Do you have Tats? Don't go swimming in the Gulf of Mexico after getting one. If ya wanna stay alive that is. Do ya?

A 31-year-old Texas man did just that after he got a tattoo 5 days before. What killed him was flesh-eating bacteria, Vibrio Vulnificus. Terrible price to pay.  :(

    I have no tatts.  Never will. My father had one from his days in the army.  It used to be an eagle, but after 30 years, it became a blue blob.
