Fish tatoos?

A friend and I were talking about tatoos the other night - a topic that
comes up every now and again. She was saying how she might like to get
fish tatooed - more of an astrological thing for her.

But it perked my mind! Somehow I like the idea. I was thinking
something like a red velvet swordtail and a strand of bacopa, or
something similarly identifiable.

Anyone have aquaria-related tatoos? Anyone else crazy enough to think
it's a neat idea?? ::-)

I read this and thought you were going to tattoo a fish! I had a mental
picture of a strand of bacopa carefully tattooed onto a red swordtail's
side. I just couldn't quite figure out how you were going to get around
the scales. ROFL!

I recently got my first tattoo and while not fish related, I must say it is an interesting idea. What makes it even more interesting, is now that I have one I want more! With that said, you could start small with one fish and who knows, a year from now have an entire aquarium tattooed on you back. Now that would look cool!

From experience though, I can not stress how important it is to get a GOOD tattoo artist. I did some lengthy research before I picked an artist and could not be happy with my tattoo.

Best of luck with the endeavor!

HAH!! I guess I should've been more clear about that - these are people
tatoos, not fish tatoos.

Jeez, and I thought "painting" and "juicing" were bad enough... ::-)
