Tell me about your tattoos

Where on your body are they? Do they have special meaning? Pics?

I have my daughter's name tattood on the inner walls of my heart's left ventricle (also a heart tattood on my right ventricle; irony has always been very important to me). This process is extremely painful, and only about 25% of people who have the procedure done survive beyond the hospital/studio. Those who live are tough hombres indeed, but a further 10% die from gunshot wounds sustained in bar fights with people who don't believe them about the tattoos.

Anyway, it's all very special, and made all the more so by the fact that the only people who will ever see it are heart surgeons or medical imaging specialist working with Oxilan, a nonionic contrast medium available from Guerbet LLC (Bloomington, Ind). Its molecular structure includes a hydrophobic region to promote molecular aggregation, reducing the osmolality. The molecular design also features a terminal hydrophilic group, which results in reduced risk of side effects from binding with biological structures. The hydrophilic group also increases the solubility of the molecule.

Oxilan is indicated intravenously for contrast-enhanced CT head and body imaging and excretory urography. It is indicated intra-arterially for cerebral arteriography, coronary arteriography/left ventriculography, aortography, selective visceral angiography, and peripheral arteriography.

I only highlighted that last bit because I'm thinking of having something done on my colon, and I wanted to get design ideas from you guys.

Yes, I've been reading Mark Leyner.

you've already made me a fan. :rofl:

at a customer of mine's house, and almost couldn't put it down. I don't like very much fiction, but his writing caught my sense of the ridiculous, and I was hooked. The book seemed mostly to be making fun of his own bloated ego, which is something I think we all should do now and then.

I need to check out some of his other work.

when I was in high school.

I still can't get over the idea that the guy who wrote those crazy-ass books got famous for that stupid "Why Do Men Have Nipples" crap. Oh well. Good for him.

maybe I'll read it next.

What was you favourite by him?
