Joseph Muscat has confirmed that he would resign if it weren’t for his Invictus tattoo.
Several months ago, it was revealed that Muscat had the word ‘Invictus’ – the Latin for ‘undefeated’ – tattooed on the inside of his upper right arm.
“Trust me, getting booed, yelled at, and pelted with eggs were not in my plans when I set out to become Malta’s best prime minister ever,” Muscat said.
“I would’ve resigned as soon as Yorgen Fenech was confirmed as a suspect, waited a couple of years, then got a cushy job in the private sector. But then what would I do about the tattoo? Change it to ‘Victus’? No, that would be silly.
“Anyone who has a tattoo knows that when you get one, there’s no take-backsies. When Michelle got a tramp stamp of a butterfly, she made a commitment to like butterflies forever, even if they go extinct.
“And I’m pretty sure Chris Cardona still reads The Motorcycle Diaries every night before retiring to his sex dungeon.”
Muscat said his next tattoo would be the words ‘Not Guilty’ in Chinese.
“Just don’t ask Sai Mizzi to translate for you. Konrad wanted to get one that said ‘Indomitable dragon’, but now thanks to Sai he has ‘small dick stupid face’ tattooed across his back.
