Why This Joke Works
"Shoulder to crayon" sounds like "shoulder to cry on" — the tattoos are on the shoulder, the colouring involves crayons, so the emotional support phrase gets physically illustrated on skin. The solution and the idiom are literally the same act.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Tell it as a heartfelt story about supporting your partner — the sincerity of the emotional backstory makes the crayon punchline arrive with unexpected sweetness.
Perfect for:
- •At a tattoo parlor or when tattoos come up in conversation
- •When discussing creative hobbies that help with difficult emotions
- •During a couples' conversation about how you cheer each other up
