I'm not normally a fan of tattoos. In most cases, the tattooo does not improve upon the natural beauty of clear, alabaster skin. However, I think many of the tattoos of Grisha Maslov (NSFW) are quite lovely.

It's basically the Vitruvian man, done as a werewolf. Same style, pose, and overall design of Da Vinci's original drawing in silverpoint. The design of the wolf isn't exactly on what I'd like, but the overall style is certainly along the right path.
There's a considerable amount of personal symbolism behind the whole wolf tattoo, and it's something I've been considering for a good 6 years now. It's only recently that I've found any sort of design I'd be interested in keeping around on a permanent basis. I am, to say the least, exceedingly choosy.

Date: 2005-12-13 04:04 am (UTC)Yeah, I'd really enjoy something of that nature. Henna is good fun, but it's gone in a week or two and fairly limited. Something of a slightly more permanent, but not forever, basis would be a big cash cow as people would be able to decorate their bodies based on (comparitively) whimsy.
I currently have a tattoo! It's about 1mm in size, on the inside of my right hand, ring finger. I accidently jabbed myself with my ink nib one night while sketching with calligraphy tips and it's never gone away. Looks a bit like a freckle, but is ridiculously amusing to me in a 'I'm such a dork' way any time I see it.

So that each dye molecule could be in either an on (dark) or off (transparent) state depending on whether a current was applied. Maybe glue on an ultra-thin film LCD (with the thickness of saran wrap)? Then you could have moving pictures and a different picture each night.

.....
It's even worse than I first thought. I wasn't sure that was possible.
What kind of ice?
