As for me, I'm too big a whimp. No tattoos...no piercings. Just an apendectomy scar to prove I lived.
`johnson` as its only a tattoo with the word `sous`on it.
an hour goes by and the young lass goes back to the nurse and says` that didnt say `sous` at all.
it says `supercalifragilisticexpealidosous`......

My thoughts exactly.
<< <i>I'll jump in here and say that I have a few tattoos. I've never thought about a coin design. Something with a pissed off Liberty might go well with my HD tats.
If I were to say anything......you said EXCATLY what I would have...................
six months ago, when it hit me! Now I know exactly what I want, have been checking
into it, and will have one before this year is over..................................stay tuned!

Very funny - though I once heard this one a little differently. There once was a guy who had his wife's name 'Susan' prominantly tattooed on himself, who one day took a vacation to Jamaica. There at a communal shower near the beach, he found himself alongside a Rastafarian who apparently had the same idea. "Oh, your girl's name is Wendy?" "Wendy? Oh no, that says 'Welcome to Jamaican, Mon, Have A Nice Day."
>>>My Collection
In the tattoo magazines people with a number of tattoos are referred to as "collectors." Since I am a natural collector at heart, I’d be afraid I’d get hooked and end covered with my collection from head to toe …
I clipped it out of a heritage catalog.

An interesting fact about the seated liberty and the liberty cap on the pole is that this was a well used icon well before it first appeared on a U.S. coin in 1836. I learned this from a book, Liberty and Freedom, A Visual History of America's Founding Ideas by David Hackett Fischer. The dust jacket as a seated liberty with a liberty cap on a pole similar to the image that appears on the Seated Liberty coins. She was part of a painting by Samuel Jennings that the artist did in 1792.
I once was thinking of having the bust of Liberty from the Peace Dollar as a tattoo. Anyway, here's a pissed off Liberty that I also thought of having (the 2nd one)
but everone said it was too girly.

Agreed!
For the life of me, I'll never understand why anyone would want to degrade their body that way.
The Libertarian in me says each to his/her own. Still, I'll never understand it, particularly when virtually everyone who does it ends up regretting it later.

If I were to get a tattoo, it might as well be this one :

I have yet to meet a person with tattoos who has ever regretted it. Guess that just means we travel in different circles....

I've met several. In fact, LASER tatoo removal is now a major industry.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
If given some thought I feel most remain happy.
I started studying my Lithuanian heritage a couple years
ago. With this I started collecting uncirculated lithuanian
coins from 1925-1938. Also just about a year ago I got
this tat. Kryzius (Lithuanian cross)

Boy that is gonna look awful silly as you age.
Tell me about it. Take my word for it, getting one because of one's hobby is dumb. In my younger days, I was an amateur gynecologist.
