Tattoos. Where do you stand on them?

Man... If I had the body for it I would TOTALLY get a tattoo. I don't know what I'd get though. If anything I've always wanted an eagle perched on a cactus killing a snake. For those who that sounds familiar to, that's actually the symbol of the birth of the country of Mexico and is what the Aztecs saw as what their prophecy foretold as being the place where they would root themselves. They saw this when they stumbled on the lake of Teotihuacan and it's now in the center of the flag.

Although, I have taken a lot of hints from one of my friends who's a tattoo artist here in Visalia. He lays down a ton of in every week and he's always telling me about the strangest shit that people get on themselves. He also told me the golden rule of getting a tattoo is to really LOVE what you're getting inked on you. He tells me, "Draw or print what you want put on your body and put it somewhere where you will see it everyday for a year. If you get tired of it after a year, it's not for you."

I guess I'll have to think about it. I've seen some really good scripture work done around here. In fact, of all the tattoos that people on GFF have my favorite one is the one that Deni has that says "He Lies With The Truth". Fucking ace~

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Even though your image linking sucks, I can kind of picture that and you know... That would be DEAD SEXY to see on a woman's back. Fuck yes it would be...

Or my old art teacher (you would remember, Ence), who had something like Indian pottery designs all over his body. Things that make your body a unified work of art are awesome.

SERIOUSLY. He was supposed to get more ink done on him but last time I saw him I told him it looked great. That whole pattern looks great on him even though I know that the department chair at UC Mooney "frowns upon it". On top of that, he's twice my age and in better shape than I'll EVER be in, so it figures. Some people just look fucking great with ink on them.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Here we go... I knew I'd find a picture of what I've been wanting to get.



I mean, it would need a lot more detail than that, of course; but that's pretty much it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

How about you fill us in, professor?

I was speaking idiomatically.
