Penis Tattoo Leads to Permanent Erection

A 21-year-old Iranian man has a permanent semi-erection after having “borow be salaamat” (good luck with your journeys) and the letter “M” (his girlfriend’s initial) tattooed on his penis.

The man, whose name is unknown, was diagnosed with nonischemic priapism — a condition resulting from the inability of blood to exit the penis. His case was detailed in the latest issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

“In our case, most probably, the handheld needle penetrated the penis too deep, creating an arteriovenous fistula,” wrote the study authors from Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences in Kermanshah, Iran. A fistula is a connection between two organs or vessels — in this case an artery and a vein — that normally don’t connect.

“For eight days after tattooing, the penis was painful, and thus there were no erections,” the authors wrote. “After that, the patient noticed longer-than-usual sleep-related erections. This progressed, within a week, to a constantly half-rigid penis, day and night.”

But most of the time, mine just says "boat".

Unless it's a cold day. Then, it just says "bt"

Oh I can't keep it in,
I can't keep it in, I've gotta let it out.
I've got to show the world, world's got to see,
see all the love love that's in me.
I said, why walk alone,
why worry when it's warm over here.
.....................
Oh, lover, I want to spend this time with you,
there's nothing I wouldn't do, If you let me know.
And I can't keep it in,
I can't hide it and I can't lock it away.
I'm up for your love, love heats my blood,
blood spins my head, and my head falls in love, oh.
No, I can't keep it in,
I can't keep it in, I've gotta let it out.
I've gotta show the world, world's got to know,
know of the love, love that lies low, so
Why can't you say,
If you know, then why can't you say.

I heard he went to the pharmacy and whispered to the pharmacist "What can you give me for my priapism?".

She answered "how about $50,000 and half ownership in a pharmacy?"

That's another hoary old joke for you this evening.

What the font size and style was?

I mean like in terms of tattooable area here and have the phrase still be legible.

I am one of those people that think the font style tells you a lot about a person. Hope he did not ask for bold and underlined.

An Iranian started to think
he'd cover his member with ink
The tattooist slipped
and something was ripped
Now poor Farzad's winky won't sink

Less painful than a tat and will do the same thing. Other side effect: Party for hours, but no one comes.
