Poll: Do you have a tattoo?

moxie · 05-26-2011, 10:49 PM

I don't have any and will most likely never get any. Since I was about 14 I wanted a barcode on the nape of my neck...was the whole Orwellian/Huxley reading curriculum that year in school. My desire died down after a few years.

I like tattoos on other people and they can be sexy if they are on the right person.

No tats but only because I can never decide on what I would have done.
They are rather costly, and a permanent thing it's no easy choice for me.
Not to forget my gemini traits mean even when I have settled on one my mind changes so fast that it no longer is settled.

It took me years to decide on the one tattoo I have. It's on the base of my neck and it's Kanji for something the English language doesn't have an expression for. In general, it means a protected innocence or, if one wishes to simplify it further, it's about as close as one can come to "little girl" in Kanji. I had it verified by two Japanese speaking people (I was really nervous to end up with "Eat At Joe's" in Kanji permanently on my body).

I have two more things I would love to have put on my skin, but I cannot decide where. The one I have is so perfectly 'me' and looks so elegant in it's placement, I just feel like I would somehow ruin it by putting another tattoo elsewhere (OCD is special). I will probably always have just this one... but I love it so.
