I am looking for any/all tattoos using the words “Carpe Gaudium” (Seize the Joy), but all my efforts seem to bring are multiple pages of “Carpe Diem” tattoos. How do I search for what I am actually looking for here?

Use an equal sign before the phrase you want to search for in quote. I see one hit for that searching Google and selecting Images. (And a bunch from an Instagram account by that name.)

Are any of those pictures actual tattoos?

Yes, I said I found one hit. Since you want me to do your search for you:

Or it might be that I used a different search engine and didn’t get the same results.  
I just used Google search instead, and while the number of images was rather small, that particular one did show up.

Remember to include in the cost of tattoos allocating money in your will to pay for prayers for your soul after your death.

Because directly violating Bible prohibitions (Lev. 19:28) means your soul will certainly need some prayers!

[Moderating]  
FQ is not the place for proselytizing.

I think this might be a joke, which is the only reason why you’re not getting a Warning, but it’s not appropriate as a joke, either.
