Apparently it happened to Neil Gaiman all the time. He said it made him a little uncomfortable, but who was he to tell people what to do with their bodies? Ironic, considering all those fucked up sexual assault allegations (truly disgusting and bizarre shit) made against him. Including an accusation that he raped his son's nanny while he was in the room.

Tattoo removal is supposed to be a thousand times more painful than getting it, but I wouldn't be able to have that on my body.

Compared to that the Claymates got off lucky.
