Get this tattoo'd across your back:

"lol...I work in TV production 2 or 3 days a week, producing boxing shows. I teach various composition and film classes at UNLV. I play poker whenever I want. I have a great GF who supports my "unique" lifestyle and activities. We travel places together quite a lot. Next weekend, we are going to Los Angeles to see a concert and visit the Getty.

Yes, I'm middle-aged. But what exactly would I be having a crisis over? I have the life I want.

I just want a tattoo."

Can't go wrong with Shakespeare.

And all the men and women merely players...

From Walden's "The Bean-Field" chapter: "I was determined to know beans." And, yes, the phrase "you don't know beans" was used then.

I don't mean to be offensive at all, but I just don't understand the whole "I'm going to get a tattoo, I just have to choose which one" mentality. It seems like most people who have good tattoos got them for a specific reason. But, hell, do what you want, I'm not here to be a downer. Full disclosure: I don't have any tattoos.

Well, I do know what I want - a literary quote that is meaningful to me. I've now narrowed it down.

I clicked JC's link and as my eyes scanned the page looking for his alma mater's motto the first quote to reveal itself to my eyes:

"High Performing and Sustaining"

I already have that tat, Chase. Dom and I could be tat twins.

I approve of the whole tattoo thing. Those who object... who really cares.

If I were to tattoo a phrase it would be “That which does not kill us, makes us stronger.” I always liked it and it has helped me through very tough times.

What do you have it narrowed down to?

For a Blade Runner Unicorn how about this:

I have to admit that unicorns will never be the same for me after seeing Miss Penny talk about the unicorn in Absinthe

Have you guys who like this idea ever really looked at (or read) someone's tattoo and thought "yeah, that's deep." or interesting or cool?

I know you think it's your 2+2 job, Arod, but throwing a wet blanket on everything just makes you a contrarian azzhole.

And in answer to your question, I have certainly seen tattoos that are cool/deep.

I've seen that one and like it...I could see getting one really small somewhere. I like how it's obviously the Blade Runner origami unicorn and not just any old unicorn.

My daughter just had one like this done which I really like. Hers does not have the "Find Balance" wording, just the image

She also did this peace symbol one not too long ago as well, which I really like

I am going in soon to get the colors on mine touched up and possibly add to it as well. Also have thought about another one for the other arm but haven't had that "got to have it" thing happen. I almost want to get a copy of her peace sign one along with the wife so we would have matching family tattoos, LOL!

Also, If I did that unicorn I would want to have some sort of cool background added to it with some color. But that is just me and I pass no judgement as long as it is not something like the guy who uses his belly button to be the monkeys *******
