You must get a tattoo - what would you choose?

In My Humble Opinion
1

Hypothetical: there is a new regime in the land (or world if you like so you can’t emigrate to avoid it), the one law/rule/dictate it enforces is that every person over the age of 21 must have one new tattoo done by the end of this year, this includes people who already have tattoo’s and is one-off occurence.

No excuses, no exceptions, no objections will be considered. Minimum size of 1 inch in any dimension, it can be anywhere on your body, it can be anything you want, but it must be done.

What do you get?

Me: a graphene lattice down my left arm.

2

A 1 inch long line of imperceptibly small width on the bottom of my foot.

I hate tattoos. Does mine pass muster for this new edict of the land?

3

I’d do the same as drewtwo99, although I might also request the line be in a color which would blend in with my skin.

I also hate tattoos. More power to you if you want one, but I find them unattractive.

4

Yes it does, and while I missed the edit window my alternative to the graphene lattice would be something simillar inside my butt crack, so I could let the inspectors know what I though of the law.

My bold Can we not go down this path and just have a bit of fun with the idea? Please???

5

A graphics art pattern of my own design. I actually have one in mind. Sort of abstract.

If I had to pick one off the shelf, a little pattern of Celtic Knotwork would be okay.

Maybe a “Violet Lantern Corps” symbol.

Or, hell, let’s go wild: a picture of “The Motherland Calls” statue at Volgograd, up and down my chest and tummy! Heck with half-measures!

6

Assuming the caveat that it must be visible at reasonable times, I would have one around my ankle or on my foot. And the tattoo would be a question mark because why not?

7

My current choice for “If I decide to get a tattoo” is:
Picasso’s “Dove of peace”.
I haven’t decided where.

8

Would a suitable constellation over the connect-the-dots on my back work?

Possibly a doodlesomeone drew me once, prettied up and wrapped around my ankle or something. Possibly on a shoulder blade.

9

A small, accurate honeybee.

10

Shave my head - get tattoo to resemble 1-day old stubble - let hair grow back.

11

Yeah, I don’t fancy having a tattoo done on the sole of my foot, but I have no particular desire to have a tattoo at all (don’t hate or love them - just don’t want one).

Since I have to have one, mine will also be a protest tattoo, comprising the small text “I got your tattoo right here”, on my left buttock.

12

A full-body tattoo of me.

13

A single, ornate boteh (the singular element of paisley) on my right pectoral.

14

A treble clef, somewhere discrete.

15

A Shield of David, I’m not Jewish, but it’ll be nifty if I’m the first person in historyto get that tattoo.

16

Me too, but I’d get mine 3 or 4 inches taller than what I am now.

Actually, if I knew the artist would do it perfectly I’d get my daughter’s baby footprint somewhere.

17

Same tattoo, same reason.

18

A small MC Escher tessellation, done alternately in UV and IR ink.

19

A quick Google Image Search reveals that you’ve been beaten by many, many people.

I’d go with something dwarvish. Maybe Discworld Minesign.

I think tattoos are absolutely disgusting. If forced, I would choose lettering on the inner butt crack reading “Exit Only”
