When my then teenage daughter wanted a tattoo, she persuaded her mother to go along and get one as well. Of course, they tried to persuade me. I couldn't think of anything I wanted on my body. I'd used Redball for something of other, but that didn't have that much meaning for me.
But I like the interrobang idea. Never thought of it before.

Not every little thing has to have meaning. Maybe it just looks nice. Who cares. You want it on your body, that's really all that matters. Hopefully if it's a word or phrase, it's spelled correctly and means what you think it means (such as mistakes with kanji, etc. - get the foreign language double checked).

Thankfully, if I ever get a tattoo, and if it happens to be Kanji (or kana, for that matter), I can do my own checking.
Jace:
I have 11 tattoos that each have deep meaning, I'm gonna explain them again here.
Scorpion: Born in early november. Scorpio
Snake: Born in the year of the earth snake. 1989
Exclamation Point: Just an exclamation point, everything is exciting I guess?
Question Mark: It is over my heart, as some cute lady at the river pointed out that one day, really its just a question mark.
Beatles Lyrics: Some lyrics from The End by the Beatles because my mom listened to them a lot and the lyrics resonated with me.
Salamander Crest: Warhammer 40k Space Marine chapter, they are bro-tier.
Box: youtube for Mustard Plug, Box
Oblio and Arrow: Characters from The Point, 1971. Movie from which my mom sang songs to me and my sister when we were little. My sister has another character, The Pointed Man
Party Hard Rib Carving: Andrew WK, Party Hard, etc etc
D20 and paintbrushes: I've gamed for around half my life and have painted miniatures for over a third of it with no intent to stop.
Bretonnian Knight Sleeve: FUCKIN KNIGHTS AND SHIT BADASS. Also because of Warhammer and how much I love medieval fantasy.
Also pretty sure that pictures of all of them are in this thread over the past 4 years. I've never gone more than a year without getting a tattoo.
Welu:
I didn't mean to say all tattoos have to be OMGDEEP or even OMGSOORIGINAL. The heart on my shoulder was more for the design than meaning, although it has a meaning too. :laugh: That was just one of those criticisms that barely bothered me at first and then got under my skin the more I thought about it. By the time it really annoyed me it was too late to say, "Hey. Screw you!" to them. Don't want to restart a discussion that's been done to death already.
Jace:
Oh I know, I just like talkin about my tattoos and how all of them kind of have meaning but I also got because I think they are fun and cool looking and I have better self confidence having tattoos than not. I will take my shirt off at the drop of a hat now to show off my ink.
