You have to copy and paste the url. That’s the only way to get the link to work. Some websites do that to stop hot linking. > [@jtur88](#): > > You must have a limb amputated – what would you choose?

Another floral design, California poppies. Like [this](http://www.pinterest.com/pin/231231762092592509/), but about half that size. I’m already looking up poppy designs, being 5th generations Californian. ---

I might as well just give myself a nerd brand and tattoo my left hand with the Triforce from Zelda. ---

Either a Celtic knot shamrock on the outside of my left wrist, or an illustration from Le Petit Prince on my shoulder blade. Probably the elephant inside the snake. It is my favourite book. I think about getting a tattoo a lot. Since I was a teenager. But if I can’t keep an idea in my head for a year, I can’t commit to putting it on my body for a lifetime. I think they can be incredibly beautiful, I just don’t have one. My father on the other hand…well, he once told me a great way to get written out of the will. LOL. ---

I get my dog Nathan’s picture tattooed on me. Probably on the upper arm, where it it needed to be concealed, a sleeve would cover it. ---

If I have to get a tattoo I’m getting full sleeves on both arms. I don’t even like tattoos but if you’re going to do something you may as well do it right. Damnit. ---

The words “I hate visible tattoos” in giant block font on my forehead. Just to make everyone who sees me really, really confused. More seriously, if bottom-of-the-foot things are banned, maybe “Don’t Panic” in large, friendly letters on my palm.
