I have plans for another one and this will be an older, wiser wolf (the pic is in a 1987 National Geographic magazine) stopping to smell some yellow flowers. I will have my artist use a pic that my brother took of one of the first spring flowers from our yard in place of the flowers in the picture. once again, this has meaning for me and will not be visible without a shirt.
and to those who don't approve, I'm happy with what I have, and I am glad/hope you are happy with what you have. I am going into the field of Nursing so I have to be careful with what I do. I think that the marks of my troubled teenage years will be more damning than any tattoo or piercing I could get even if they were visible.

Seriously you have a problem, you want to be noticed. You care how other feel about your body. You have nothing better to do than impress or annoy those poor ignorant people.

People who feel the need to judge others in their own inner or outer expression can rot. It annoys me to hell how judgmental people are (especially of things their lives have obviously not had the chance to encounter) and it really lowers my opinion of them greatly. While slightly hypocritcal, at least I have something remotely substantial to base that judgement on.

Noticed? Where? Some of us don't tattoo our foreheads, hands, faces, etc... and you would hardly know we were tattooed.

My right collar bone is about 2" shorter than the left side. It's more aero but, so far, I haven't worked up the nerve to break the left one so that it'll match.

People mark their bodies for a variety of reasons.
Myself, I've got magnets implanted in my fingertips for sensory enhancement (and kinda as an experiment) and I've got a 5'2" tattoo, that is NOT visible (I'm 5'10") I didn't get it to show off and I didn't get it to affect how people look at me. I got it as a reminder to myself.
I didn't get ink to be different, I got it to be me.
I didn't get it to make people look at me, I got it to remind me how to look at people.
I intentionally got big ink because that was what I wanted, because it was symbolic of something that should dominate my life.
I intentionally got ink that is not visible in daily life because it is for me, and not for anyone else.
FWIW, I work with 2 people who both make over $100,000/yr and have visible tattooing.
Bad tattoo's are a horrible thing to do to any body.
Good ink however, can make a good body look even better.
my $0.02
BME had some funny bicycle ink in modblog some time back, but I started paging through and got back to July of 06 before giving up. Maybe I'll hunt it down tomorrow.

Well, I will admit to one thing about Tattoo's & piercings.........
Nothing like wearing your Ego out where everybody can see it.
