Drunken student gets Julia Gillard tattoo on forehead, disappointed

Ultimo, NSW – Student and young man Steve Wilson got a little more than he bargained for when he walked into his local tattoo parlour last Saturday night. He attributes the likeness of Julia Gillard that now sits on his forehead to a combination of grave misjudgement and liquor.

“I don’t know why I was there. I was drunk,” the twenty one year old law student claimed. “I remember telling the tattoo guy to do it as a joke. He didn’t laugh. Then he tattooed my head and made me pay for it.”

Wilson claims the impact this new tattoo has had on his life has been “noticeable”. After being fired from his casual job at the local supermarket, Wilson was disowned by his family and cast out onto the street.

“My boss votes Labour, same as my family,” says Wilson. “So I don’t think that was really the issue here. I think it had more to do with the nature of the tattoo." (The Prime Minister was depicted as wearing nothing but a strategically placed boa constrictor) "They weren’t quite ready for that one. But in fairness there was a significant divergence between the final image and the tattoo I had originally asked for.”

Wilson considered suing the parlour for improper conduct, but has since decided his energies could be better focused on other activities such as finding a place to sleep.

“Of course I’m disappointed. I’ve got no job, no home and this big tattoo of Julia Gillard on my forehead. What happens if she goes and loses the next election? I’m screwed.”

“The worse part is trying to score with chicks with this tattoo. Chicks seem to like tattoos. But this…chicks don’t like this.”
