I have a pelvic tattoo, too. It's only text and it says "Carius mihi et dignius videretur tua dici meretrix quam illius imperatrix." ("It would be dearer and more honorable to me to be called your whore than to be the empress of the whole world", something that Peter Abelard's mistress wrote to him in the 12th century.) I got it in the throes of despairing about some things as a stupid "reclaiming my body" gesture, which is all very dumb and new-age. But even with those connotations discarded, I really like it; it skirts the line between classy and trashy. No pictures of it though. ;__;
It's pretty big, but getting it wasn't THAT bad. I've voluntarily subjected myself to things that hurt worse. The only REALLY unpleasant parts were right on my hip bones. It felt like the tattoo needle buzzing was reverberating through my whole body, and it made me cry ;__; and it was off-putting enough to make me reconsider my plan to get more text on my collarbones.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
You hear noises in the distance.
