Men Shot With .357 as They Traced It for Tattoo Pattern
CHAPARRAL, N.M. — Getting a tattoo can be a painful proposition, but usually it's just the needle you have to worry about.
Two men trying to trace a loaded .357-caliber Magnum as a pattern for a tattoo accidentally shot themselves, the Otero County Sheriff's Department said Monday.
Robert Glasser and Joey Acosta, both 22, were treated at a hospital in El Paso, Texas, after the shooting Thursday evening in nearby Chaparral.
Authorities said Glasser was struck in the hand when the gun accidentally went off, and Acosta was hit in the left arm. Their injuries were not life-threatening, authorities said.

My question is why was it loaded in the first place if they were only tracing it for a tattoo?

I hate to ruin anyone's party here, but Darwin Awards are only given to those who ELIMINATE themselves from the human gene pool. Just injuring themselves isn't enough.
