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." |
