Five.
I have five.
And I'm working on #6.
It's honestly addicting. I thought I'd be done after one.
Not so much, it turns out.

Shit. Anyone know of a good tattoo removal service?

Sorry for the derailment.
I have pictures of my tattoos in my gallery but hidden, I'll move them so people can see them (again) soon.
I promised that I'd get a tattoo after I lost 100 pounds, and that was like a hundred and forty pounds ago... I've been going back and forth about what/where to get inked for like the past year.
I think I've finally decided, though. I'm thinking about a fluer de lis with "je me souviens" under it on my back left shoulder to honor my french canadian heritage (my family's basically been kicking it around Quebec since the 1600's)... it was down to that or "All are but parts of one stupendous whole / Whose body Nature is, and God the soul" on my forearm to honor my favorite poet, Alexander Pope.
my mom is russian, but I'm thinking a hammer and sickle might not go over well in some circles even though I did devote like half my academic career to studying Karl Marx![]()
That's just bull.
DON'T DO IT! If you were smart enough to loose all that weight, don't be stupid and get a tattoo. I've seen too many beautiful bodies ruined by tats, and even the best ones will cease to look "cool" in time; remember that there are fashions in ink just as there are fashions in clothes and that what looks great to you now will simply look stupid in fifteen years. Praxiteles didn't sculpt Hermes with tats, nor did Michelangelo paint Adam with ink. YOU'LL REGRET IT IF YOU DO. (I recently read an interview with Ryan Phillippe, talking about his body art, rationalizing a tattoo he got when he was seventeen as admittedly stupid, but OK because it illustrated how stupid he was at the time. Give me a break!)
None. And never will.
The appeal is a bit of a mystery.
Once I heard only those who have issues with past abuse get tattoos. If true, there are a lot of abused people out there....
Fursonas are an avatar that furries adopt. Furries are people who identify strongly with certain animals (usually anthropomorphic). I'm personally a fur because of my spiritual beliefs; to be honest, I'm a bit of a were (which is less anthropomorphic and more realistic) and a bit of a fur. I've always defied conventional labels, so I don't see why I should start now.![]()
