It kind of reminds me of nose studs and rings. I have a nose stud and it actually is a part of my culture and has meaning, but to most people here it's just an accessory.

I always thought that I'd get tired of a tattoo design but, after I got my first one and lived with it for a while... you kinda just forget you have it.
I think that as long as you do a little research and the artist you choose is talented, the quality is what you'll enjoy the most. You may be in love with koi fish now but you'll probably tire of the concept in 5 years. What will keep you liking the tattoo is the quality of the work.

One of my good friends in Texas has a sister who passed away 5 years ago.
When I saw him over Christmas, he had gotten four lines and a slash through them for "5" on his wrist in red ink, it was cool but frightening. Jagged lines that looked like a tiger could have clawed him. He said that it took a while for the red ink to be applied, especially on skin that thin.
He also has her entire name down each vertebra of his spine, each letter is on a vertebra. Kind of cool, but I just wonder how far he'll go in her memory.

piercings identify where you're from or what part of the country you're from depending on what side of the nose they are on.

i got my little sister a tattoo for her birthday last weekend when she came out to vist. two small black stars on the inside of her wrist, one for our old man, one for her twin sister.
good choice i thought, looks decent and has meaning.

since i've been at this job i've seen 2 interviewees get nixed in part because they didn't look "professional" cause you could see a tat on the wrist or hand. i fought those to no end (they were talented guys) but i work for a conservative bunch.
on one hand, that's utterly lame and stupid especially for a desk/design job. but on the other, i'd say it's probably a bad idea to get a tat in a place which can't be covered by a long-sleeved or collared shirt. ppl will discriminate.

I think there's a fair amount of stuff on YWFT that would be cool worked into a tattoo. Their flourishes, emblems, etc. - you don't see stuff like that much. That's kind of why I thought of the wallpaper idea. A pattern down the full arm like that could look amazing.

I'm tatoo-ing a big hash leaf and NTYT on my hand right now with a sewing needle and biro ink.

yes, sir. and if done/mixed right it will last a long time. i've got some white ink 11+ years old and it still looks just fine.
