Getting a tattoo.
Or rather, getting a tattoo in a grotty studio above an off-licence.
In the grottiest part of Stoke.
Which had people wandering in and out of the bogs clutching little packets of powder.
From a tattooist who thought sticking his needle into a cup of washing up liquid was a good way to sterilise it.
And who turned out to be rubbish.
If I ever get hold of a time machine I'm going back to visit me at age 20 and give myself such a shoeing.

Two Ditto's

Although I feel that a 33yr old going back to his 20yr old self who was at the time in the Military Police, very fit, into all sorts of martial arts and actually had a 6 pack and not a party barrel!! would probably get his arse kicked all over the shop!!
