I'd get one of these.

Except with Toady's face.

But it still says RIP 2PAC.  That's a good one.

1. Get the contents of an unbinned trade goods stockpile tattooed on your arms.
2. See how many people think they're kanji tats.



I always have to laugh at most kanji tats, because either people have no clue what they're getting (and conversely the artist is either not fluent or is a smartass), or it's really simple basic stuff over and over ("strength", "love", "happiness").

I probably would never get a tattoo for anything (except maybe magical powers), but if I had to get one for DF I'd cheat and use the sprite from the Stonesense visualization of a pony mod fort.

For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Print out the Planepacked description, give to tattooist.
Bonus points if they mis-interpret your intentions with the description, and they end up making Planepacked your tattoo instead of just the description.

...Which reminds me.

I always have to laugh at most kanji tats, because either people have no clue what they're getting (and conversely the artist is either not fluent or is a smartass), or it's really simple basic stuff over and over ("strength", "love", "happiness").

I've seen some pretty good ones.

変, presumably meant to be 恋, on right upper arm.

A surprising number of 馬鹿, on various body parts. Who knows what these guys were thinking?


I don't like the idea of tattoos myself, but I have to second Kilroy here. It doesn't have to be too complex, so long as it gets the idea across, but that would be the most awesome tattoo ever.

I'm guessing that's when somebody goes in drunk and says "Oh DUDE I wanna get like one of those bitchin' Asian tats, bro! Hey tattoo guy! Can you put, like, 'Brodie is a totally awesome and doesn't afraid of anything'??"

I think that wouldn't count as a mis-interpretion.

You should always do as he says.
Especially when the result will be imprinted upon your flesh until it rots off your bones.
