A hackneyed & irresistible attempt:

You ever wake up and just feel like shit???
You already know I have; I guess that’s the Novus in me!
Unfortunately the Novus in me took hold absolutely, and i was left behind, confused and basking in the remnants of my decadant bender. This particular black-out came with an extra sense of “holy shitness” after a glance at my arm..
Clearly this is a real tattoo!! Inked for life Steemians I couldn’t help but indulge my inner-litererary puns.
