Heehehehe.
I always joked that I’d want a daisy on the second toe of my left foot 
I know, how original.
But a writer friend I know has a small © on the small of her back. Wish I’d thought of it. 
I’d like a Penrose triangle on my shoulder, and will get it soon - either for my birthday 11 May, or when we have the first babyscan on 24th
The Mandelbrot set.
(Hands up all who remember the children’s story “The meal a mile long.”)
I’d get “John G. killed my wife” in mirror image across my chest.
In an episode of Homicide, they identified a victim’s next of kin because he had tattooed contact information on his stomach. I thought that was a good idea, so if I were to get one it would be my name, date of birth, and place of birth. I’m not sure where, though - someplace inconspicuous.
That’s why I’m still Non-inked
Did I miss the “Volume” and “Tuning” on the nipples joke?
I can’t really see myself getting a tattoo, because I can’t think of anything I know I’m gonna like the rest of my life.
But if I did, it’d be the words “San Francisco,” in the cursive orange script that was used on Giants’ jackets up until two years ago (an image which is apparently nowhere on the entire internet). It’d be great for Giants games, and if my interest in baseball ever wanes, it’ll still be my home town, which I love dearly.
I have off and on considered a tattoo of Icarus in Mid fall, just never seen or been able to draw anything I liked enough to put on my body.
Oh, good idea—a spinal chord.
Ow, ow, ow, don’t hit.
When I was in the Peace Corps I accidentally swam through sharks at night (supposedly they feed at night) and was not eaten (it’s a long story and would end up being one of my research-paper posts - just accept that it happened). And that qualified me for a special set of tatoos (a stylized dolfin that almost looks more like arrows than dolfins leaping through waves) that supposedly only people who did what I did may wear.
The islanders got me drunk and then took me to have the tatoo done, but apparently I was not drunk enough when I saw the old lady in charge of the tatooing dipping a sewing needle mounted on a thin piece of wood in some Indian ink and smiling toothlessly at me. I chickened out and staggered out.
Since then I have often thought about getting it done by a more acceptable tatoo artist, but search as I may, I can’t find one that knows the design. About three years ago, I even did an Internet search for the design and had no luck.
Anyway, if I could find a picture of the tatoo I would get the set on my calf and thigh where I am entitled to wear them.

I’ve been contemplating the eighth-note thing for years. Can you get your fingertip tattooed, or is that impractical (due to scarring or what-have-you)?
Two tattoo ideas that I’ve been attached to for several years:
-
A triple-moon symbol either on the back of my neck or very small on one of my arms. In either case, just black ink, a simple line drawing. This one may actually happen.
-
A set of angel wings beginning at my shoulders and going down to my hips. This won’t happen, unfortunately, because I’ve never found the right artwork to make the pain worthwhile.
I would get DNR tattooed on my chest. If they ever find me dead in a ditch again, they can leave me that way. One recovery like mine has been enough.
I always figured that if I ever got a tattoo it’d be somehow Cubs related. Outside of my family, The Cubs are the only thing I know I’ll still love in 10 years or, hell, even 1 year.
I’m holding out until my Granny is gone before I get any ink, tho. She’s handled the Grandsons’ tat’s, but I don’t know how she’d deal with the Granddaughters being tattooed. She’s a nice enough old lady, so I figure I’ll let her believe I’m a good girl.
BTW Troy, I still haven’t forgiven you for '89, '98 notwithstanding.

A small triquetra the size of a silver dollar on the back of my right hand.
Then a little Celtic cross on the underside of my right wrist.
I would like to have a small hook tattooed just below and behind my ankle, and I would like to have this done in Malaysia.
So yeah, probably mechanical diagrams and a can opener would be at the top of my list. No reason except that they’re beautiful.
I want to get tiger stripes over my left shoulder. It’ll be around one foot square with three quarters on my back and one quarter on my front. I can’t seem to get the design right with the tattoo artist. I’m very picky, and since it’ll be there forever I want to be damn sure it’s near-perfect.
I’m a Scorpio, zodiac sign wise. I always wanted a little scorpian tattoo.
A friend of mine has Pooh sailing away with his yellow balloon on her shoulder. I always liked that.
