When and if I land my dream job at the Beeb, I plan on getting the following quote from 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

Not got any yet, but when I can afford it I'm planning on getting a tattoo of the Heartless emblem from Kingdom Hearts. I know fandom tattoos are kind of silly, but I think it's abstract enough to work as just a pretty symbol for people unfamiliar with KH too.

If I ever work up the nerve (and the financial wherewithal) to get a tattoo, I want it to be of something I've loved for so long I know I'll always love it. Something that has helped to define me. Which, more likely than not, will be something fannish that I have life associations with outside fandom. Labyrinth would be a good source, for instance - we rented it over and over when I was a kid, and then I rediscovered it as a teenager, and I still love it. Or Buffy the Vampire Slayer, because it had such an impact on my late adolescence and I made so many friends because of it, some of whom I am still in touch with. Hell, if I wait long enough, Doctor Who will become eligible and then I can get a TARDIS. See, I am a wimp and am likely only going to be able to put myself through the process once, so it needs to be something that counts.

If I were just going for aesthetics, though: the Torchwood logo would make an awesome tattoo.

Next tattoos: the rune 'raidho' on the inside of my right wrist, the first line of Mayakovsky's poem 'Listen!' in non-cursive Cyrillic on one of my shoulderblades, and possibly someday a Pictish tramp stamp. Because Pictish carvings are some of the most insanely beautiful stuff in the wooooooorld. 'Next' is a very loose word here, although I think there's a good chance that the rune will happen within a year or so.

I want "221B" somewhere in quite small, and the following Kurt Vonnegut vote:

The 2 prime movers in the Universe are Time and Luck.

Well, since you asked... *points at this LJ icon* I have this as a tattoo at the top of my right arm - it's the ShinRa logo from 'Final Fantasy VII'. I can't remember if I already told you that or not! ^_^

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. ¬_¬
