I have 3 tattooes from radiation therapy. They are literally the size of pinpricks, and I cannot find them.
Well, since this is fiction, I’m going to assume that the reproduction would be perfect, and remain that way. I’d go with…
Good choice.
You just made me think I might have to change my cat tattoo plan that will never happen.
I like the idea of this one - but on someone else
“Ceci n’est pas un tattoo”
I remember before the book Science Ink was published. Carl Zimmer would include science-related tattoos one by one in his blog. I was always checking them to see if there was one I had no intention of getting. Some of them were really cool.
Probably something I drew myself. I’ve used the name GuanoLad since I first went online, who is a character I created for a comic strip, so I’d likely have one of him on one shoulder, and PigeonMan to accompany him on the other.
Or not. I dunno.
I was going to say the Dragon Curve fractal. But this is just too cool.
Be ironic: tattoo “Leviticus 19:28”
(The bible verse that forbids tattoos for the holy people of the Lord.)
The word “TATTOO” in Times New Roman. Or maybe Comic Sans.
I would get the tattoo shown below with invisible ink.

I think I’d do a delicate looking chain either bracelet or anklet and have 2 charms with my kids’ initial on them and a charm of a dog pawprint.
I always thought of getting IDIC Symbol -
IDIC was an acronym for Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations, the basis of Vulcan philosophy, celebrating the vast array of variables in the universe. The philosophy, as well as the Vulcan people, were often represented by a triangle-over-circle insignia, referred to as an “IDIC.” (TOS: “Is There in Truth No Beauty?”, DIS: “Will You Take My Hand?”)

I think you won the thread.
When I was a child, my mother would read to me the story of Kingsley’s Water Babies, and I love the illustrations that Jessie Wilcox Smith provided. If I were to get a tattoo, I would want a really good quality rendering of something he’s painted, copying his style. (Or, if it’s too hard to transfer a painting into a tattoo, then just something imitating that style of artwork.) You can see some of the pictures from the book here.
I mean, if I’m not going to get it, I’d might as well lust after something that would be complicated and expensive, right?
The tattoo I’m not getting is my SDMB avatar, although I would do it in black, not red.
At the start of the Trump administration, I thought about getting a tattoo that said “RESIST!” but aside from the fact that I won’t actually ever get a tattoo, it occurred to me that if the zeitgeist completely changed and sane people were in power, I might not want a tattoo that seemed to rebel against them.
