Tattoo
An original story for Appaloosa Radio
Last December before Christmas he placed third in the Regional Finals for the Mr. Perfect Body competition. The year before, he had placed second, just seven tenths of a point behind the winner. Then, to celebrate he had an artist tattoo a full-color version of Leonardo DaVinci’s “Last Supper” across his pects and abs. It cost him nearly a thousand dollars and took the artist nearly a full day, and the pain was so intense that he couldn’t do a full workout for nearly three weeks.
He told everyone that he did it to show his love for God because without His love he would be a nothing. God treated him special and protected him. The tattoo was an act of worship. An act of thanksgiving.
However, when he placed third last December, one of the coaches told him that the competition’s judges did not like the tattoo. It had probably cost him a full half a point, the coach said.
Now, every time he looked at the tattoo, he realized that he had gone from being almost a winner to a never-again loser because of it.
