I just recently got this puppy on my inner forearm:
<a href="http://s91.photobucket.com/albums/k310/Nikblade2005/Forum/?action=view¤t=nik1005-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k310/Nikblade2005/Forum/nik1005-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
It's only three days old- it'll need a touch up in a month or so. I'll post the
finished tattoo then. Now onto the fun bit.
I want to get geek'd up with tattoos. ^_^
I already know I'm getting the black mana symbol (as opposed to the blue
one I just recieved) on my other forearm. But I'm gonna want a lot more in
the future. :3 I'm sorta brainstorming right now but this is what I've come up
with:
"Do or do not. There is no try." - On my shoulder or something.
"It's against my programming to impersonate a deity." - On my other arm.
42 - Anywhere
The Galactic Empire's symbol (it looks like a cog).
"Cogito Ergo Sum"
"Oderint Dum Metuant"
As you can probably tell, I'm a big fan of quotations rather than pictures.
Any cool ideas? Or better yet, ideas you've had for tattoos of your own?

Wouldn't "Lascivio ergo sum." be more apt?

Um. "I'm chaotic therefore I am"?

I play, therefore I am.
Also run riot, but we don't have to go there, of course. Lascivio, I'm sure, gives us the derivative lascivious.
EDIT: Or maybe not:
ORIGIN late Middle English : from late Latin lasciviosus, from Latin lascivia ‘lustfulness,’ from lascivus ‘lustful, wanton.’
Still probably get you some double takes, though. And I can't imagine there isn't a relation between the verb and noun and adjective, anyway. I think they all mean frisky.
A better word would be ludo. Ludo ergo sum. If that's the right form.

Ah. That's actually pretty clever. The word "play" or w/e. My latin is, erhm.
Rusty? ^_^

And since ludo has the games connotation of playing, you could also think of it as "I game, therefore I am." Or as the 20th Century philosopher, Dr. Seuss, might have translated it: "Game I Am."
