trace_of_scarletWhen and if I land my dream job at the Beeb, I plan on getting the following quote from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
warren_ellis tattooed on my leg, probably just above my right ankle. (Yes, I know, that area will hurt like hell. I'VE GOT MY HEART SET ON IT OKAY.)
"Journalism is just a gun. It’s only got one bullet in it, but if you aim right, that’s all you need. Aim it right, and you can blow a kneecap off the world."
(Transmetropolitan Vol. 1: Back on the Street)
My other dream tattoo would be one of the watercolour-style onesapiphile linked on Twitter ages back, but of a nebula in space with a tiny, tiny TARDIS and the words 'Across time and space...'. Not so much because I'm an utter Whoniverse geek (although I am, that wouldn't be enough for me to get a tattoo) but because of the four insane, wonderful, geeky years I've spent in Cardiff and the friends I've made and the things I've learned here.
(The it-could-never-happen-but-I'd-have-it-if-it-could tattoo would be the same as Briar Moss's from Tamora Pierce's Circle books: vines of tiny flowers tattooed all the way across his hands, which bud and flower and bloom of their own accord. I would kill for my hands to look like that.)
What do you guys want tattoos of? If you already have some, what do you think you'll get tattoos of next? And if you could get anything at all tattooed, what would it be?

Date: 2010-12-06 05:29 am (UTC)As for what other tattoos I want... whew! The Team X symbol from 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine', Deacon Frost's symbol from 'Blade', the Gangrel symbol from 'Vampire: the Masquerade', the Bone Gnawers symbol from 'Werewolf; the Apocalypse', the Eye of Horus, the symbol of Shar from 'Forgotten Realms', the Skaven Horned Rat from 'Warhammer', the Squad Six logo from 'Bleach', the 'Gears of War' logo, the 'Halo' logo, some Russian script, some Covenant script from 'Halo', and maybe a red dragon snaking its way up my left arm.
...for starters, anyway. ¬_¬
