He claims it’s “nonharmful” eh? Issues of consent aside being under anesthesia is inherently risky and anything extending that time extends that risk.

Is it bad that I can totally see myself doing this? It seems like good clean fun!

How can you claim not guilty to this? Like, it’s your initials, man!? Did one of the nurses do it while your back was turned?
More seriously, if I, say, gave someone a tattoo while they were passed-out drunk (without consent), that would be an offence of some kind, no question. Just because the initials were hidden inside the body instead of printed on the forehead doesn’t really alter the gravity of the situation.

I wouldn’t give a shit if he signed off on a piece of work he felt good about. Sign it, write a poem on it, draw a picture of your dog.,…WTF as long as the damn thing works what’s it matter. But that’s just my silly ass opinion and other folks are as entitled to be as pissed as they want to be.

I can be pretty full of myself, but I can’t imagine being this intense an asshole.
