I, uh, don't want to be tatooed by a lamprey. A leech might be less scary. There are some carnivorous snails that might be persuaded to give human skin a poke with their radula, but I don't know that I would let them do it to me.

(Two haggard, grimacing bikers glare at one another across a table. Each sports a slightly ragged six-inch line of day-glo magenta across his chest with a snail resting placidly at its end. A bell sounds. A woman in tiny cutoffs walks across the platform holding a sign which reads "Day Nine".)
