I’m so glad you enjoyed the story and glad you had a good laugh, but I’m afraid I’m not as funny as all that. Tattoo is (to use the definition from Merriam-Webster) – “a call sounded shortly before taps as notice to go to quarters.” They speculate that the word taps might have come from a shortening of tattoo. Anyway, I don’t know what the connection is between that and the body art. Perhaps they engaged in inking after they were sent to their quarters? That would’ve made a great scene!! 🙂

But I have to defend my editors. They might not catch all my mistakes, but they would’ve caught that one. I hope.

On page 292 at the bottom …” Jack saw that the post flag had been retired for the day, but tattoo had yet to be played…
Tattoo!!!!! Hahaha. You mean “taps.” Somebody messed up on the editing big time.

And I was so busted when I “peeked” at the back and saw your author’s note! 😄. Now I have read it and can hardly wait for the next one…😳
