I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Finger-tats...or HAND-tats...are for people who don't need to worry about finding new jobs.
And...OW.

Depends on the industry you work in.
I just don't think I'd be able to keep from scratching a finger-tat while it was healing.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
A friend of mine has a gorgeous wrist tattoo that never caused her problems until she tried to join a health club in Japan. Apparently even caucasian-american ex-pat girls can be Yakuza.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
SH, those are the primary reasons that keep me from doing it. Although, a "ring" tattoo can easily be covered with a real ring. But I hate wearing jewelry.

“Not dead yet!”
Okay then-- electrician has been and gone. We have a new GFI outlet, the old one apparently having been installed by a team of baby howler monkeys who couldn't be bothered to carve out a large enough space for the unit, so it was just crammed in there and as the house settled was gradually crushed, with wires touching the metal screws.
Since this electrician was not a baby howler monkey, he made the space larger, wrapped electrical tape around the screws, and essentially did the job right.
I'm still going to check the outlet every half hour or so.

True. As a software QA guy, it's been made clear to me by all my contract companies that I need to be a lot more conservative in appearance if I want to make more than minimum, though.

Really? Oh, how frustrating.
Ring tattoos hold no interest for me because I wear a lot of rings, and I don't think I'd be able to keep myself from scratching during the healing period.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Actually, if one works in an industrial setting, ring tattoos make loads of sense. My buddy Bob has a ring tattoo instead of a wedding ring because he doesn't want his finger ripped off if his ring gets caught in a piece of machinery. Which happens fairly often, I guess. Not to him, I mean in general.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
One of my coworkers has a tattoo of a rune that he says means "fidelity" on his ring finger, in place of a wedding ring. But then, I work at a lefty liberal NGO. One of the VPs suggested producing a "Tattos of [Workplace]" calendar as a fundraiser and, while he was kidding, it would be totally doable.
