I only have one so far: a turquoise hexagon with the Leo astrological sign in the center. I'm not a Leo, my sister is. It's on my shoulder so I can't really get a picture of it but it's as simply designed as it sounds.

i have some interest in getting a tat but im too scared i'll regret getting it later on in life. also live in a relatively conservative town and there's still some stigma towards tattoos, so i have no plans on getting one anytime soon.
If i could undo a tattoo at any moment though i would go for something like a cool integral or an interesting organic compound or a programming joke so that people think iam smart persan

Someday... finally, after years of waiting and going through a split with My partner of 34 years (OMFG yes!) I went to the best piercing artist in the area and got a nipple done (left) I know it may seem silly, but every time I look at it, I feel giddy, I have been waiting on this for decades...

tl;dr: don't wait... just live life!
Molest me not with this pocket calculator stuff.

Halo of the Sun from Silent Hill & "Demon Seed" by NIN:
"Alessa... I guess it's kinda strange for me to call you that, since you are me. But y'know what? 'You' and I don't think alike, after all... And it's not that I don't remember that sick room either..." - Heather Mason

"it keeps growing and i can feel it breathe
i have been trying to behave myself
it keeps growing and i can feel it breathe
i have been trying to tolerate you" - Demon Seed by NIN

Image
The final save point from Silent Hill 2 & "Discipline" by NIN:
"I was weak... That's why I needed you... Needed someone to punish me for my sins... But that's all over now. I know the truth. Now it's time to end this." - James Sunderland

"I need your discipline, I need your help
You know once I start I cannot help myself" - Discipline by NIN

WOAH THOSE ARE AMAZING

I love Osaka and I love Silent Hill 3 (and 2, and F).
I speak Kansai-ben so the nande ya nen? tattoo is very amusing to me, have you shown it to any Japanese person?

woahhhhh that's SO COOL!! sudden envy even, I feel like a psychic biological weapon experiment sometimes (hence my user name, although I write it 映子 where 映 is reflection, projection, cinema... a weird spelling nobody knows how to read but I like it. not my actual name though, I do speak Japanese but I'm a white Catalan)

Kind of basic, got it during my egyptology phase. But I still abide by the ankh so no regrets.

Nope. Most people probably wouldn't even realize I have that Osaka tat since I almost never wear shorts.

I think I'm the only persons to have a Silent Hill tattoo that references 0rigins.

These are great-looking tats, really impressive and elaborate. I can only guess at their symbology, but I've always has a soft spot for Mew, Sylveon and most Fairy types :3

I agree with British journalist Tony Parsons when he wrote "(tattoos) remain ugly, hideous daubings that make my flesh crawl with revulsion every time I see one". How they ever became accepted is beyond me.
