"This song, it will shock you to learn, is an extended metaphor about a decaying relationship. I know, I know. I didn’t come to the Mountain Goats show for that shit! What are you talking about? I come for absolutely literal stories about police dogs sniffing for corpses. I’m not looking for deeper meanings than that. Well, I’m sorry to break the news to you: but there is no dog and there are no cops. There’s just one very aggrieved partner saying something to another in the hopes that they land a punch."

“"Fresh Tattoo" is the flashpoint in the story of who Jenny is and how she came to leave Texas. In it, she gets a tattoo of a shield on her arm, and, on her way home, sees a guy who needs help. This will be her last lodger, and it's her first tattoo, and the day will prove to be decisive in her story.”

John Darnielle about Fresh Tattoo in The Mountain Goats’ newsletter, August 23, 2023
