OT: Columbus-Area Tattoo Parlors Adapting to Changing Times
Under heightened (strict?) scrutiny following Tattoogate, Columbus-Area tattoo parlors are being forced to find a new pool of clientele, as well as a replacement for disbarred Barrister Cicero. As to how well their efforts are progressing, the jury is still out:

Looks like something you would find on an old tombstone
August 18th, 2014 at 4:41 PM ^
someone had a note published in a law journal and had the cite tatood on his/her (hard to tell) leg.
August 18th, 2014 at 4:57 PM ^
Wow. As an attorney, and former law student, let me say that is one of the douchiest things I've heard of. Which is saying a lot, since, you know, lawyers and all.
August 18th, 2014 at 5:25 PM ^
I don't know about douchiest. it's weak, and he will be sorry he got it, but it's not like tattooing "Do Not Ship: Export License Required" on one's biceps. That's douchbaggery. This is merely weak.

My dad always said Mgoblog threads are like a box of chocolates. You never know what's inside

Looks like a law journal citation that is missing a date in parentheses. Someone messed up their bluebook tattoo.
August 18th, 2014 at 4:59 PM ^
Great point! That the cite is technically lacking is incredibly unintentionally hilarious.
August 18th, 2014 at 5:41 PM ^
someone messed up their tattoo you say?
August 18th, 2014 at 5:49 PM ^
August 18th, 2014 at 4:44 PM ^
shameful enough.
(who knows, might be great?).

It looks to me like Ohio St. lost to some school named J. Crim. L. 827 - 11.
August 18th, 2014 at 5:21 PM ^
That's the first thing I thought as well. Some big J. Crim. L. fan got a tattoo to commemorate the victory.
August 18th, 2014 at 5:46 PM ^
My interpretation was that the #11 ranked Ohio State team scored J points while Crim. L. scored way more.
August 18th, 2014 at 5:48 PM ^
That makes an equal amount of sense.
August 18th, 2014 at 5:50 PM ^
Then I got worried about roman numerals...but found this:
Why J was used
The value of J as a Roman numeral was the same as I (1) but it was used on handwritten documents to prevent alteration. For example, the number 6 (VI) could be written as VJ and 7 as VIJ to prevent either from being changed to VIII.

incapable of making the complicated letter M. Their solution was to stop playing school.

One of the more amusing comments, I think, if you were looking for an amusing Ohio State joke in here somewhere:
"At Ohio State, you don't write into Law Review, Law Review writes onto you."
August 18th, 2014 at 8:50 PM ^
I liked, "He probably also got LSAT - 159 tattooed on his lower back."
August 18th, 2014 at 5:27 PM ^
You're going to need plenty of legal advice before this thing is over.
As your attorney, I advise you to rent a very fast car with no top.
And you'll need the cocaine.
Tape recorder for special music.
Acapulco shirts.
Get the hell out of C-Bus for at least 48 hours.
Blows my weekend.

I'll bet he has Meyer on the other arm, and Woody on his . . . woody.
August 18th, 2014 at 5:34 PM ^
First Question - The whole "law school dork" factor aside, who the fuck gets a knee tattoo?
Actually, I do not want to know the answer.
August 18th, 2014 at 5:41 PM ^
Agree - weird spot for a tattoo. And the orientation is weird. If he's standing up, it's upside down. The only real way to read it is for him to read it himself when he is sitting, or for him to do a handstand.
August 18th, 2014 at 5:44 PM ^
Maybe it's a functional tattoo, like the guy in Memento put all over himself.
August 18th, 2014 at 5:41 PM ^
If it is I absolutely do not want to see a picture with an angle proving that.
August 18th, 2014 at 8:35 PM ^
What do you think that is? It is too wide to be an elbow, isn't it?
Is there a doctor in the house?
August 18th, 2014 at 9:55 PM ^
And I don't see a kneecap.
It should be a right arm.
August 18th, 2014 at 5:39 PM ^
FWIW, I actually just tried to look up the citation on WestLaw and got the following message:
"We cannot process this FIND request because this citation may contain incorrect information or because the document is not available on Westlaw."
I tried it multiple times so I did not make a keying error.
August 18th, 2014 at 5:43 PM ^
It looks legit. Westlaw is usually a bit slow.
August 18th, 2014 at 5:42 PM ^
seems to land in the middle of this:
(as far as i can find on Google, rather than paying Lexis $20). WTF?
August 18th, 2014 at 5:47 PM ^
Yeah, there is not an article in the 11th volume of the Ohio State Journal of Criminal Law that begins on page 287. Here is the table of contents from that volume.
August 18th, 2014 at 5:52 PM ^
HERE is the article

I guess I must have that late-onset dyslexia.
August 18th, 2014 at 5:57 PM ^
Anyways, the article is on a pretty interesting area of law and it has been published. Publicity can only be a good thing, I imagine.
