The weirdest tattoos



I saw a bike rider this morning while I was waiting for my tram at the end of my home street. A tall blonde man. Because it was red light, he stopped right in front of where people are waiting for trams. Then I saw something interesting in his thighs, -yes these people here do wear shorts in 10 degrees Celsius 😒- two tattoos, one in each thigh. 
The first tattoo, that in his left thigh, is a plastic chair, exactly, a plastic chair 😂, the white plastic chair that we see people use a lot in developing countries like in Indonesia. My parents had one set (5 pcs) of them, white, exactly like this one (see picture).

I looked at it for some minutes, couldn't believe what I saw, but I think I am correct. I saw the vertical lines and the rounded end shape of the lines.
The second tattoo, in his right thigh, is an octopus. Or baby octopus. A simple one, not a sophisticated one, a small one. Like the one below, just without colour, just a monochrome one.

In two minutes time, my tram was coming, and he cycled quickly into the traffic, to avoid being trapped with the tram.  
Because we'd talked about tattoos on Saturday night with my buddies, I still remember  this topic, until I bumped into these two funny tattoos I'd say, they are not heroic at all :-D.
