My father was one of two brothers. One of them was wearing a chain. When they were babies, it fell off one day. I still make the joke that my father is really my uncle. That does not amuse my father.
We were blessed with identical twins. We painted the fingernails and toenails to distinguish them. Didn’t we ever switch them? Probably not…but as long as you make an even amount of mistakes, you’ll be fine.
“I realize this is an unusual way to begin a work interview, but I have to inquire, Jennifer: why do you have the name ‘David’ tattooed on your forehead?”
Wasn’t there an AITA thread where one twin had a serious medical problem but the other didn’t, so the parents tattooed a little freckle on them to make them easier to recognise, and the family disowned them? Maybe I’m remembering things incorrectly.
To be healthy, we painted their toenails for two months. We were able to tell them apart by then.

That’s what my mother did to my brother and me.

That is, the pen. The tattoo, not so much.
I know a pair of twins who were born with a handy birthmark between their brows that made it easy to tell them apart.
Are you just like, “first one out is john, second one out is bob” if you’re getting identical twins and already have names picked out?

It wasn’t difficult for Reynolds to persuade a baby to get a tattoo. Finding a tattoo artist to do the job is the difficult part.
I suppose this is where they are.

When I think about it, it really freaks me out. How much do identical twins get mixed up as newborns?

This makes me wonder how many twins have been named by the other’s name all their lives!
You may think he’s getting tattoos, but he’s really doing the Alphinaud/Alisaie thing, where one ear is pierced and the other isn’t.
