Good fic! Far too many fics portray Severus as impeccably erudite and tasteful in every domain but manners. It really warms my heart to think of him with a blind spot for a giant, super-cheesy tattoo that means the world to him. I love the image of Mr. Smart-and-Snarky posing in front of the mirror like a teen, admiring his blotchy, sappy tattoo. Nicely done!
