If you got a tattoo, what would it be?

The world needs more love
I would have a ying/yang tattoo of two eyes- one enlightened - the other evil or dead on the palm of my hand.

Several reasons for this. I was blinded by a firework accident 48 years ago (One eye sees, the other is blind.) It also represents the two sides of my spiritual nature, also to illustrate I don't have as many answers as I think I do and have much to learn and lastly the power between love and hate.

Dolphins were one of my favorite treats when sailing. In protected waters or out in the lonely ocean. Sometimes you could see them coming in a rush from a half mile away. Then they would frantically swim with the boat. Some would lead ahead of the bow while others would follow in the wake. They would take turns leading and following with lots of splashing and mayhem. Then after playing with the boat for awhile, they would all just disappear. I think it was as much of a big a deal for them to play with boat as it was for me to have them escort me for a short while.
 
I have a small tattoo which can only be seen if I wear a French cut bikini, the kind that shows high leg/"hip" area. It's very light and soft pastel colors, pale yellow rose, powder blue puffy clouds and rainbow. Since it's in an area that is only exposed to the sun and the elements when I vacationed in Hawaii a couple of times, it's never faded, and I still love it, so did my husband. My husband had no tattoos.
 
None. No tattoos. Especially not numbers. Remember being in Washington Square Park in '60's with my friend who was a child in Auschwitz. Guy came over to her (she really exotic looking) and asked her nicely: "Is that your phone number? Can I write it down?" It was her Auschwitz tattoo. Hate tattoos.

In Judaism tattoos are frowned upon but you see more and more younger folks with them.

I am '' Catholic '' but have several Jewish friends in my age bracket who have told me this .

It says something about a person,
and what it says is not good.

I don't have any tattoos and I suppose being on a "senior" forum, most of us grew up in a time when this sentiment was common. Back in the 50's and 60s I think tattoos were mostly associated with drunken sailors, gang members and thugs. I believe times have changed, they seem now to be a fashion statement. Toward the end of my career I worked with a few folks that had tattoos, they were not stupid people, in fact several were highly intelligent. I think the tide has changed in what a tattoo says about a person, in most cases. Face tattoos excluded, I still consider face tattoos to be "Job Stoppers."

From the perspective of the Police agencies, tattoos are a wonderful way to positively identify a dead body, or a wanted criminal. Today Police who arrest a person not only fingerprint and photograph the person's face, they also photograph and list all of their tattoos on their body for future identification use. Facial tats are rarely seen outside of the tweeker meth life style world or the far right political groups. JIM.
