Original
When Parker finishes contemplating his relationship with Sarah Ruth, he thinks about getting a new tattoo. The only bare place on his body for a tattoo was his back; even though Parker did not wish to get a tattoo any place he could not see it, he desires to obtain one out of spite for Sarah Ruth. While at work, Parker rides a tractor in a field. He is so busy contemplating what tattoo to get that he pays no attention to where he is going and crashes into a tree. The tractor is destroyed, and Parker runs to his truck, driving the 50 miles it takes to get into town. He runs into the tattoo salon, and demands to see the book of tattoos pertaining to God. As he flips through the book of tattoos, one particular image of Christ stops Parker.

Revised version
Parker seems to resent his relationship with Sarah Ruth and decides to get a new tattoo to spite her. He has virtually covered the front portion of his body with tattoos and the only place left is his back. An accident at work prompts Parker to visit a tattoo shop where he thumbs through a book and finds a picture of Byzantine Christ. He is so drawn to the image that he feels as if his heart has stopped beating. He approaches the tattoo artist and tells him he wants that tattoo without any alterations.
