"Is this going to hurt?" "It will if you don't shut up."

Yesterday, we heard that a Lions fan had commemorated his team's historical ineptitude with a chest tattoo. Perhaps it's a way of reminding himself that it can't get any worse from here; things are only going to get better. Or, perhaps he's just an idiot. We're optimists in these parts, so we think it's the former. And that got us thinking about a few other "inspirational" suggestions for fans who want to ink their bodies as a way to remind themselves that it's always darkest before the dawn. Oh, and we're not professional artists, so cut us some slack.
