I try to keep up. When I worked doing community lectures on blood-borne pathogens, as the kinky one of the crew I got to teach about tattoos and peircings. It was a nice excuse to spend more time in the shops and study. If I could draw some better than floor plans, I'd have second profession.

I have two - upper left arm and left thigh. I'll post the pics this weekend.

In Japan, tatoos are considered anti-social, because they are associated with "yakuza" (gangsters). That's why I would personally not get one.

Because I want to go to Japan next year (and maybe live there someday), and because I'm so interested in Japanese culture and care about what the Japanese think of tatoos, I do not want to wear a tatoo and cause offence to Japanese people.

these are my two.....

For some reason this insists on turning upside down, but the blurred kanji are kuma (bear) and gin (silver).

This is the link to the one on my arm because I haven't learned how to adjust the size for here. Image of Arm tattoo - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Its the one that needs some re-inking. Its "M" with a shamrock & thistle intertwined (for the two repeated invaders of the Isle of Man that were my ancestors).

I have an idea for a tattoo I want, but I don't know how to draw it out.
It's to commemorate the 1st year after my great-grandmother's passing.

anyone willing to lend their artsy hand?

It would be much appreciated.
