I was watching Miami Ink last night and it occured to me that you live in Miami. When are you going to get some ink done on the show? You should take one for the team and get "Asylum" or something to that effect tattooed. What do ya say mate?
Don't be a poosay e_odus!
edit: I'd start a pool and chip in to pay for it even!

Unfortunately, he'd have to have some sort of either really strange reason for the tatoo, or a heart-touching story behind it. Like coming out of rehab and "Asylum" is the name of his 2 year old son, or something.
Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
I bet if he walked in and just went apeshit and started busting up the place he'd make it onto the show.
...and into a body cast.

I think he'd look good with an anchor and "I <3 Nexa" on his chest. Would have been a good "Talk like a pirate day" episode.

you think getting a tat because his internent forum buddies asked him to in our honor is not a strange reason?

Quirky couples are often my favorite. My cousin and his wife are the cutest together. His first tatoo was the pink panther covering his leg. He's in a punk band and she works at a university.

My first tattoo was the Japanese letter for love on my left pectoral. My girlfriend got the same one on her left shoulderblade. We had the work done on her eighteenth birthday, and I wa just about to turn nineteen. Now that she's abandoned me and left a shell of the man I was before, I tell people my tattoo means "hung like a dragon".

I like to think I'm quirky. But then, thinking was never my strong point.
I've never been into tattoos, but if I got one it would probably be the Japanese letter for Ghost or something like that. My roommate has the letter for "Dark" on his right arm.

My wife and I taked about tattoos, which is generally a conversation about the dumb things that people get put on their bodies. We agreed that many things are just silly or cliche.
Such as:
Half decent reasons:
Essentially, about 95% of people who have ink, get it for the sake of getting it, which is all fine and dandy, but I think it's retarded. Get something unique for the love of Bob. Hell take Enigma for example. Sure he looks like hell, but at least his idea was unique, so points for that.

Such as:
- Dragons - especially on white guys
- Chinese Text Symbols
- Barbed wire, chains, fire
- Ladies' lower back I'm-a-***** tattoos
- Yin-yangs
- Flags
- Skulls for the sake of skulls
- Barcodes
- Anything that requires a methaphorical explanation
- Letters accross the knuckles
- Turning your belly button into something crass
- Cartoon characters - This is like buying a yellow humvee. Look at my ink, I'm badass, but not really.
Half decent reasons:
- Military - If you belong to a specific group
- Religous purpose - Main reason for tattoos throughout history
- Elvish wedding band - Neat idea, only ever saw one of these
- Scar cover-up
- Special/Important purpose or conviction

Husband has my name tattoo'd on his arm with 3 roses. He wants to get each of the kids' names tattoed along each rose. He would like me to get his name tattoo'd and I think I might get his name put on my wedding ring finger, underneath the wedding band.

My boyfriend is getting my name tat'd on his forehead...his idea, not mine.

Bastage!!!
Mine was just for the sake of getting it, but I've never regretted it and no one knows I have a tattoo unless I show them or tell them.
Granted mine is a tribal dragon about 3 inches tall on my upper right arm.

husband has my name inked on his arm, but in binary code. I refused to let him get my name done outright. Now its a really cool conversation piece.
I've got a dragonfly on my right shoulderblade, a bloody rose on my right hip and Im getting one more before Im done. Hubbies name in binary code as an anklet, with a japanese symbol hanging off like a charm that says Mother.

Not that I have any tattoos but I saw the episode where some guy was asking for a dragon tattoo and the one Asian artist kept showing him pictures of Oriental looking ones. The customer was like "No, like a dragon" and the Asian dude got all pissed.
I was sitting there thinking that the customer probably just wanted some typical Occidental, D&D style wurm on his arm and wondering why the tattoo guy couldn't figure that out.

To be more specific, unless you are Asian and it is in your heritage to have such a dragon tattoo, or say you have traveled the world and have a tattoo from each of the ancient cultures (one being a dragon), then I can see the significance of having such ink. Having a dragon tattoo is otherwise as cliché as getting a yin-yang.
Edit: Hell, I was born in the year of the Dragon, and I still would not get a dragon tattoo.

He thought it sounded more pleasant than the branding I usually insist upon.
