What tattoos do you have? What is their meaning?
 
I have a terrible looking star shape on my back right shoulder that has my son's name in Mandarin. Eventually want to redo that. I have Courage the Cowardly Dog on my my upper right arm that matches one my son got at the same time.

Edit: the meaning of the latter- we watched that a lot when he was little, and Courage would get in all sorts of bad situations and somehow pull through his terror and save the day. My son was struggling with a friend who had passed away in June of 2020, and to me it symbolized that we would go through the bad times together.

I have six. One for each of my kids, one with my wife's zodiac sign, and two for me. One with my baseball number and one with a great white shark. Sharks have always fascinated me.

I have a friendship with a former Iowa State player and we made a deal that if Iowa State won in Iowa City this fall, we’d get Trice Stripes tattooed on us.

Here is my one and only tattoo

I want this tattoo but my hesitation is I cant find a spot where the "hard lines" of this type of logo would look good on me.

My wife has seven tattoos and all are flowy so I don't have any real-life examples to look at.

I have it on my inner bicep. It looks "weird" if I stretch my arm out a certain way but just holding it up it looks fine. I couldn't think of anywhere to put it except there.

ISU Football on my right shoulder
silhouettes of my dogs on my left inner bicep
"There is only one God and his name is Death. And there is only one thing we say to death" (In Icelandic font) on my right inner bicep

I've always wanted to get a brand but could never find anyone to do it properly
 
I think my wife has 10 (I'm losing count). I just got her 2 more as a Xmas present (1. 3 goat hoof prints on the side of her forearm by her wrist and 2. artistic outline of a goat on her left shoulder blade).
 
I change my mind too much so I'd like it one day and not the next...thus no ink here. If I did, it'd probably be kids initials or something ISU.
 
Walking Cy on my ankle, and the Godsmack sun logo on my back. Will get the Stripes tattoo on my other ankle sometime soon.

Like Sousa, nothing ever felt important enough to be a permanent thing. The things I have considered, seem like they would be trite to me after a while. IDK. Maybe someday.

GF has a bunch. Whole right arm is a sleeve of gorgeous Miyazaki custom artwork.

Good idea. I have regrets lol.
