Panel 1: Inside a tattoo parlor. A muscular man sits in a chair getting work done. The wall behind him has flash art and a partial sign reading "OTTA T" (tattoo). His tank top reads "I LOVE" with a heart.
Panel 2: A bald, bearded, muscular man with an eyepatch reacts in shock.
Man: WHAT THE?!
(His knuckles are tattooed: "I LOVE" on one hand, "HATS" on the other.)
Panel 3: The same man, now angry, fists clenched, in a tank top and red pants.
Man: GRRRRR!
Panel 4: The tough man holds up a frilly, fancy red hat decorated with pink roses and ribbons, placing it on his head, looking content.
Man: YOU GOT LUCKY.

A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a muscular man sits in a tattoo parlor getting tattooed, a partial "tattoo" sign on the wall. Panel 2: a bald, bearded man with an eyepatch reacts, shouting "WHAT THE?!"; his knuckle tattoos read "I LOVE" and "HATS." Panel 3: the man, now furious with clenched fists, growls "GRRRRR!" Panel 4: he calmly places a frilly, fancy red hat covered in pink roses and ribbons on his head and says "YOU GOT LUCKY." The joke: this hyper-macho tough guy is fiercely, unapologetically devoted to dainty hats. Votey: a line-art close-up of the same man wearing the elaborate flowered hat and sunglasses, captioned "This is what true confidence looks like."
