"Fluther Ink": What tribute tattoo are you going to take?

Asked by rebbel (35549points) February 8th, 2012

While having dinner, we are usually watching LA Ink because right after that What Not To Wear is on, a favorite of my girlfriend.
No offence to all the people (both on the show and here on Fluther) who go there and have an ink done, but lately I get a bit tired of all the sad stories behind their tribute tattoos.
Some put a tribute tattoo for their child (deceased or sick or fighting obesity), others for their deceased grandpa “because he taught me to live my life/he took me fishing for merlin, etc.”, but others still, have an ink done because they “escaped death cos just not being hit by a car” or “as a tribute and a reminder for the hard trip that my move from NYC to LA was”.
Tears flow….
I jokingly said to my girlfriend that in a parody it would be nice to have someone take a tattoo as a tribute to all people who have tribute tattoos, or someone that puts a big turd on his chest to remind him “of the difficult time he had when he couldn’t go to the loo for a few days….... Next day a guy comes in who pays tribute to….., cheese, and he has a big Edam (or Gouda) done….:-/
Anyway, amuse me: what would you want to pay tribute to, and what image/ink goes along with that?
