| | I have thought long and hard about this. I've spent countless sleepless nights pondering the possibilities, the drawbacks, the probabilities, and the advantages. I've agonized over exactly what I want, how I want it, and where I want it. I've weighed aesthetics and health. I've done massive design work. And I've finally decided....
I'm getting a tattoo. It will say, "La la la!" I'll put it somewhere conspicuous, like on the back of my neck, or across my forehead. Lasting value at its best, don't you think? Won't my grandchildren be thrilled!
Ok, no, I'm not really doing that. But the very thought makes me erupt in laughter. I can't help imagining the nonchalance that particular tattoo would evoke. My life's philosophy? Maybe. Blatant, hilarious disregard to the supposed law of tattoos ("Don't rush into such a big decision.")? Probably. Yeah, definitely.
Being as I think tattoos are pretty stupid (Do you REALLY want that "Sarah"-entwined rose up there for the rest of your life? You did break up with her five and a half years ago. Do you really want that butterfly on your back? It may not be in the same spot in a few years.), I don't know that I would ever get tired of a tattoo saying "La la la!" were I to ever get one (which I won't). I could go with some henna, though... hmm. That might be fun.
So the question of the hour is this: barring all questions about the wisdom or morality of tattoos in general, if you were to get one, what would it be? Would you, like me, go with the bizarre factor, or would it be something serious, like your kid's name?
