are their eyes even open?

ok, so, you go and get a tattoo, and its not a small one, mind you. it's about aaaaaah, say, 12 cm tall by about 8 cm wide. its an ankh, and its black. ok, it's on the small of your back, but it's pretty sizey, it would be hard to miss. now lets say you get this on thursday the 21st of august and its now monday the 1st of september and your certain someone hasnt even noticed.....hmmmm....
