The full scoop is this: I have wanted a tattoo for a long time. However, I see no point in actually *getting* one--or, indeed, even talking about getting one--until I have lost all the weight I want to lose. Those things are sensitive to changes in body weight as I understand it, as the skin changes shape and the ink moves around as a result.
How did Robin Willams put it? "You get the tattoo of the barbed wire now, and by the time you're eighty, it's f%#*in' picket fence."
So, if I do manage to achieve the ideal form of me, as is my desire, getting that ink done will be one of a few things I plan to reward myself with.
As for what image I plan to use, well... one springs to mind.

I wouldn't mind if you changed your mind back to the FOX mark, either. You're as much an MGS kook as you are a SW nerd. :P One on each arm?
For the benefit of the unwashed masses
I've always had mixed feelings about tattoos. I think some people look better with them than others (which is true of most fashion statements). I think you could pull it off, though. If you were really buff, you could get away with the full back tattoo. I confess to being fascinated by the prospect of you having some design on your back.
Keep up the crazy leaping routine and you'll get there. I lost weight just watching you.
Of course, my mind keeps straying to the other day, when you'd primed yourself to feral rigidity...that was...enlightening. You most assuredly have the base maturity of sinew and tone.
I feel compelled to stir copious quantities of testosterone in you as frequently as possible. The results provide a dizzying carnival of joys for all the senses!
I considered the FOX insignia, but I don't think enough people would "get it". If I'm going to permanently scar myself I want it to be something I can show off once in a while. :)
What about you? If you were going to get a tattoo, what would you (and by you, I mean all my readers, not just Jessica) get? And where?
Ah, my dear! You credit the public too much. Outside of a Star Wars convention, I doubt many people would place the Rebel mark. The movies are widely known, but I doubt most people noticed the Rebel and Imperial marks.
Did you know it's called the Starbird? Huh.
Still, you must ask yourself: have you the grit to emblazon your bicep with the Marek family crest? *grin*
Me? I prefer the mark from SWTOR:
Old Jedi Order
This mark is more avian with less of the chunkiness so beloved in the '70s. Of course, that's just my loving input as your wife.
I don't think I'd ever have the pain tolerance or patience for anything but henna art. If I was going to tattoo myself, I'd have to go with a design on the small of my back.
I've always thought the Hylian eagle would look keen.
Though I'd probably want an original design that appeared to be some arcane marking with a Greecian flavor.
How goes the weight loss btw? I tried all kinds of stuff before settling on the "Vomit your way to a thinner you!" strategy. It's good read, authored by the same people that wrote "How to make amazing money in Dentistry" but I'm sure thats just coincidence.
I believe that method of weight control was outlined in Bulimia: No It Isn't a Country, by Dr. U. Wheylass.
He didn't write a book about dentistry, it was about dysentery. I can understand your confusion.
Dr. Wheylass believes grotesque evacuation of the digestive system is a tried-and-true method of controlling obesity and can't understand the fussy paranoia of modern medicine. It's rumored that he holds 25% of the shares in Yum! Brands, and has voted for years to do away with those mollycoddling training videos.
