working

I have had a job for 11 days now! not too bad since i got fired after 5 days....
it's the tattoo, the ever lasting job stopper. there is no chance of me having it removed, despite the captain researching that for me (thanks buddy). The first mate bought me a tattoo cover kit, it covers the tattoo, but then leaves a large flesh colored spot on my arm- which is worse? I know you are wonder "why is a pirate having a tattoo a problem?". we work under cover to infiltrate the extraordinarily wealthy and the tat gives me away.
The captain knew about the tattoo (tough sticker, as he calls it) before i was hired, but the boat needed some one asap and i was available. Since i have been on i have made great friends with the crew and become indispensable, kinda- really they just can't find anyone better.
now i just get to wait until i really am fired or the owners get over their issues with body modification.
