tattoo ideas for the quirky and ironic

[idiosyncreant]

Hyden, the "Vigilant" (superhero) MC of my new book needs a tattoo.

Of course, being me, though I'm not sure what I want it to be, I have a VERY complex set of criteria. It has to be odd and non-serious, on the lines of RDJ's Chiller font shoulderpiece:



or my uncle's chosen Muppet:



If you were so self-ironic that when you got your first tattoo you got something that almost mocked the idea of getting a tattoo...what would you get?

I really, really, REALLY want to get one of those "MOM" heart tattoos when I'm in my late 70's/early 80's. I think it will be funny as hell. Is that ironic enough? ;)

That is!

I've decided that when I'm 50 I get to start thinking about having a tattoo, and if I want one, by then I'll be able to settle on something, or never have the capability. But I'm not banking on still wanting to at 50. I mostly don't at 24...

Heh.

I just think it would be funny as hell to get a tattoo long after the age that most people do. Also, I'd like one, but I don't want it to get all saggy and distorted. My theory: wait until my flesh is already saggy! Logically sound, yes? ;)

I also intend to wear leathers while tootling around in my scooter.
