[kj][OT] tattoos?

[Alex Smith]

About twenty years back, I was very nearly talked into getting a tattoo of the cover of Kiss' ROCK AND ROLL OVER (four faces stitched together) on my ankle. Mercifcully, I demured and remain tattoo-free to this day.

Were I to get one, though, I too would love the Stranglers' raven logo or possibly the REVELATIONS ribbon-design.

But, y'know, if I got one now, people would invariably shout "MIDLIFE CRISIS" from the top of their lungs, and...well...they'd probably be right.

I have a tattoo that is a character from my childhood that my mother would 
read to me frequently.  When I showed it to her it flipped her out.  She was 
like ohh ohh tell me that it is fake.  Since then she has accepted that and 
the numerous others.  I thought it as a way of honoring her but she was  
hoping that I would turn into a nice normal lad.
The character is a terrible Whatzits from ....Harry and Terrible Whatzits.
