An excellent episode from season 8. Jack went out with his Navy pals and had a bit too much to drink. He woke up with some pain on one of the cheeks of his derrière.

Sadly he got a tattoo of a heart with the words "The Love Butt". Everyone who saw the tattoo had a good laugh and Jack became the "butt" of quite a few laughs.

There are multiple misunderstandings as Janet & Mr. Furley find out Jack is going to the hospital for some surgery. (It is to have the tattoo removed). Both Janet & Mr. Furley jump to different & incorrect conclusions.

The scene in the hospital bed had some great physical comedy from Jack & Janet. We all know Jack was likely the best physical comedian of his generation but Joyce was criminally underrated.

A very funny episode.

By season eight, it was apparent that Three's Company would not last much longer. Plotlines that had been used before found themselves being used again (I'm looking at you "Look What I Found") and the comedy just tended to be drier than usual. Of course, there's only so many misunderstandings that can occur before things begin getting repetitive and boring.

"Jack's Tattoo" is one of the exceptions in this final season. Here, Jack finds that his Navy buddies, who he spent the night previous drunk with, took him to a tattoo parlor and gave him an embarrassing tattoo. He decides to go to the hospital to get it removed but, out of embarrassment, doesn't tell anyone but Terri about it. Naturally, his friends jump to wild conclusions about why he's going to the hospital.

It's a decent episode and much better than the majority of the episodes in this final season.
