Tattoos? Tattoos!

Big agree. I've been on the donor lists since I turned 18, but I really dislike the idea "presumed consent" and what that could bring.

Especially if the “presumed consent” is universal, regardless of someone’s status within your country. As in, visitors, people who have just recently reached the age where donation is legal, people for whom that might be a violation of their religious beliefs, etc.

All three occurred to me, but the first was the one that hit the hardest.

Not a fan; never understood the desire to put graffiti on the Venus de Milo, but then everywhere you go in the world people are carving their names into things. Personally I've earned enough honest scars that I don't want voluntary permanent marks.

You do you, I guess.

Maybe you are the Venus de Milo.
I most certainly am not.

My analogy was always Spinners on a Bentley.

I'm not opposed to the idea of a tattoo; I just can't think of anything I know for a fact I'd want permanently drawn on my body for the rest of my life.

But here's my favorite input on any discussion of tattoos:

I have an organ donor tattoo. But yeah, I also had to register as an organ donor. But please, when I’m gone, get what use you can from the carcass.

Plot twist, the iron from the tattoo ruins the organs...

Sorry, sorry. I couldn't avoid going there. I just find the idea of tattoos too scary.

The only thing I've ever been tempted to get a tattoo of is this...

... the MIDI instructions for "Laura Palmer's Theme" from Twin Peaks.

Some of my tattoos cover or incorporate older tattoos.

My most recent was designed by my spouse and then done by my colleague's husband. Here's the design; it incorporates elements from my master's thesis on applying a Darwinian framework to analyzing the evolution of literary structures. It incorporates a Darwin fish tattoo that I've had for decades (the finished tattoo has the circle and fish on my right shoulder and then the rest stretches around onto my upper back).
