Occasionally, I’ll see a dude with a tattoo on his neck with three numbers. The first time I saw it was in San Antonio, it’s 210. That’s the telephone area code. I later saw it in California, and then in Tennessee. Then I heard it referenced in rap songs. I thought to myself, that seems a little stupid, to do that. This was before cel phones were even popularized.
Currently, an area code still represents an area, but it’s possible to get a phone nowdays, with an entirely different area code than where you live. I wonder how many gangsters are disappointed with their phone service company? They’re like, “Naw naw, Yo, I need the number thaz on my face, bitch”. And then Sprint, or Verizon, would reply, “Well maybe, you should have tattooed your Zip Code on your face instead. That shit ain’t never gonna’ change. There’s even an extra set of numbers that you can draw on your head that can provide an even more detailed guide to specify your exact neighborhood!” And the gangster would reply, “Yeah, shit! I wish I would have thought of that shit”.
