800A

800A is a cool English comedy bar in Berlin. But what a peculiar name, right?

During the nineties in Palermo, Sicily, people used to spam the walls of the city with the tag SUCA, pronounced SOOKA, which means, well, SUCK IT.

To cover such an obscenity, god-fearing citizens took on the task of altering the word. The S turned into an 8 and the UC letters were closed to become OO. A was too difficult to change.

As a result, lots of 800A tags could be found around the city. And of course, everybody knew what the underlying message was, so the cover became in itself the message. People started tagging 800A directly, t-shirts were made and children were named.

There you go, you are welcome for the idea of your next tattoo.
