Tattoo You

For some unknown reason Nurse Hottie and I have both been thinking of getting tattoos.

Now, before you get all hyped up into either "Oh, I love tattoos" or "Oh, it's so trashy" mode, wait just a second. We haven't actually gotten them, nor do I think I'll actually go through with it. First and foremost, I am a complete wuss, and as I understand it getting a tattoo can be quite painful. So let's face it, chances of me actually getting one - rather slim.

As for Nurse Hottie - well, I have no problem at all if he wants to get one on his arm - I don't think it's skanky, or trashy, I actually think it would be pretty cool. Dependent upon one rather large factor - what it is. And that is truly the reason for today's post.

If you know him, you know he is an extremely obsessive person (think about the truck). Which means that he's probably spent 100 hrs online in the last 10 days looking at tattoo pictures. This is what happens at night in the ER. People are dying, and my husband is online trying to find a picture of his family crest to see if it would make a good tattoo. For the record, I officially vetoed the family crest tattoo (it was really not that cool). And I found myself a bit hurt - hey, it he's permanently marking his body, shouldn't it have something to do with me? Or Thing One and Two? Or the glory of marriage to me? Or perhaps a reminder to him to close cabinet and closet doors (sorry - pet peeve of mine).

So last night I started giving him ideas for tattoos - things that he loves and have meaning to him...

A Quarter Pounder with Cheese and a Large Fry (because they are responsible for the extra 15 pounds he's been carrying around the past 6 months) alternate tattoo - the golden arches - cheaper, and easier to render.

The Lyrics to any Air Supply Song (this would have to be done on his chest). Okay, I wouldn't say he loves Air Supply - this one is for me. Only because an air supply song came on while we were discussing this, and I realized that it would pretty much guarantee that he could never be unfaithful, since any woman who would see this would think that he was gay. Downside - the gay male nurses he works with would be hitting on him. Wait - I think that might be an upside - at least it would amuse the hell out of me.

A Picture of Me...naked. There is no upside to this one - it was his suggestion. See what I'm dealing with???

And of course, last but certainly not least, a picture of his truck.

Suggestions anyone?
