ah, yes, so many people in service, whether hospitality, police, or military have tattoos, and sometimes they do feel like they are about to pop out and free themselves!

MILITARY TATTOO
A military tattoo is a performance of music or display of armed forces in general. The term comes from the early 17th-century Dutch phrase doe den tap toe ("turn off the tap"), a signal sounded by drummers or trumpeters to instruct innkeepers near military garrisons to stop serving beer and for soldiers to return to their barracks, and is unrelated to the Tahitian origins of an ink tattoo.
