Geek ink
For today’s post, I started and trashed a bunch of things that have been noodling around in my head, mostly because they were too damn serious. I figure that you, my loyal readers (all 3 of you), probably don’t come to elementalgeek to find the answers to the world’s problems or to discover life’s greatest truths, although if I ever do figure those out, you’ll be the first I tell.
Today’s post is just plain geek diversion. While your personal preferences regarding tattoos may vary, the Science Tattoo Emporium shows that just about anything can be “art”.
I keep on thinking I’d like to get a tattoo someday, but I haven’t decided what will still look good on an 80 year old triathlete. Try picturing a tribal armband on an elderly woman for a reality check. Maybe some traditional Japanese artwork – the samurai/yakuza guys still look cool when they get old (or maybe it’s the sword/gun/missing finger)
What (@Not the LG: what else) would you be willing to put on your body permanently?

First, are you planning to turn in to an elderly woman?
Second, perhaps “The LG” has got some ink to show you.
Third, I’m pretty sure I’m done. Although, if I ever completed an Ironman, I would seriously think about adding something related to that. Of course, that thought is a far way from even needing to be had. Like decades. Yikes, I don’t think I have decades to get to that point.

Nah!? The LG has ink? I guess it depends where it is, if I want to see it or not, but I’m curious what it is…

Once again, “Not the LG” is smoking some of his super good kine crack. At one time I had contemplated one or two, but decided against it… cuz it was for the wrong reasons. Once I figured that out, I got over it pretty fast.
I guess you have to ask why do you want it… and do you want to remember it 30 years from now? And do you want to be reminded of it in all its wrinkled glory?
I suppose they’d make good conversation pieces… assuming you could see it in public.
On the other hand, no distinguishing marks will be helpful in the spy business.
On the other hand, distinguishing marks would help to identifiy you if you were found only half decomposed somewhere.
OK, now, it’s just getting silly…
… I’m adding to my fun supply today!
