I had tattoo artist friends in college who offered to give me free ones but I couldn't think of anything I wanted to have on myself forever. And thank God for that because anything I'd have put on myself at 20 is not something I think I'd be happy with today.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

I will be getting many more, now that my aging body is saying "No, new piercings WILL NOT HEAL". Dangit. I miss my eyebrow ring, and my labret, and my tongue stud, and the idea of getting more rings in my ears. But alas, the healing process has changed as I got older.
Ink, though - just fine. As I slowly save money, I will get *much more ink*.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
tommyrot, I think if you pick another color instead of white that samurai penguin would make a gorgeous tattoo.

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

I'm thinking black, which would require some changes to the design....

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
SF in general, and the food/beverage-service industry in particular, is obviously tattoo/piercing-friendly. I work with a woman who has a (pencil-thin) mustache tattooed on the side of her index finger. Which is a tat I would never get, but more power to her. (We also have a girl with a septum ring, which is also Not For Me.)

I gotta ask why? For Snidely Carmichael purposes?

However, if I would ever have one, right now the Women in Black symbol is the only thing that I feel committed enough to ink on my body.What is that?
Ya, the forever thing is the other bit keeping me from the GL ring tat. Sure, the kilroy on the arm is forever, but something tells me I'll be walking on the crutches forever, so why not have the lil guy peering out over them.

I've been wanting another tattoo for about a year now. I'm not sure what it'll be, though. It would probably be just below the shoulder on my left arm, as I don't wear sleeveless tops in official settings anyway. And it would be a lot easier to show off than the one at the top of my right leg.

aka, the ring that makes one look like cattle. (It goes through the septum, which divides the nostrils.)
