V-Necks and Chest Tattoos...



...are like peas and carrots these days. If I am at work, or just out in the social scene I seriously see at least 5 dudes a day rocking a v-neck with some script tattooed across their upper chest showing. Which inevitably leads me to the question:

Which came first, the tattoo or the v-neck?

My guess would be the tattoo came first but not by much. I'm picturing some guy going to the tattoo shop because he finally decided he wanted "Sono Un Idiota" in Italian across his chest. So he gets his tattoo finished and heads immediately to Target (or somewhere that sells American Apparel if he's lucky) and proceeds to purchase v-neck t-shirts.

This isn't just males either, females are guilty as well. The most peculiar thing is that you never see that person wearing a normal-necked t-shirt EVER AGAIN! It's spreading like wildfire and it's pissing me off.

A few facts I've uncovered(meaning made up):

After acquiring chest tats a persons v-neck to normal-neck inventory ratio (based on 7 shirts for the 7 days of the week) skyrockets from 0:7 to at least a 6:1!

The v-neck/chest tat accessory is accompanied by a pair of Tom's shoes 77% of the time.
