Tattoo

I don't get tattoos. I don't like permanently modifying my body.

Of course... I've kinda been doing just that these past few months. So maybe it is time for a change.

A while back, pandagenma made this amazing image. We started talking about tattoos, and I then offered some creative feedback, which she turned into the following image.



It is a combination of both the mercury symbol (used to represent transgender people) and the polyamory symbol. I am seriously considering having it placed onto my body in the not-so-distant future.

(Note about the Mercury symbol from here: Mercury was borrowed in this instance to represent a transgendered person. Mercury's symbol has a cross extending down to represent femininity and a crescent moon at the top to represent masculinity. The two are placed at opposite ends of the circle to strike a balance between the male and female parts. This symbol seems to speak more to those trangendered persons who identify hermaphroditically or andgroynously.)

So what do y'all think? How much do you think this will cost? More importantly... If I do get this... *WHERE* on my body should I get it?

I immediately pictured it on your lower back, just above where your right hip and your butt join.

I think it is beautiful and VERY you.

Hmmm. I'm leaning towards bicep now... but that's an intersting place...

Thank you.
