Ok, so something i've wanted to do for most of my adult life was to get a Star Trek tattoo. I know there are lots of people that don't "get" the reasons for wanting a tattoo in the first place, and i know that there are probably even more people that don't "get" why anyone would want a Star Trek tattoo. But i do. It's always pretty much been a bone of contention between me and my husband. He's against them in general. Well, we had yet another discussion about it last night (we've discussed it many times over the years) and he said, "if you want to get one, do it. I've come to the conclusion that life is too short not to get one if you want it".
Like i said, i've wanted one for many years. We've been married 30 which is why now, at the age of 53, after getting his 'permission' i am going to do it. I've never thought too long and hard about the placement of it because he was always so adamant against it. But now that i have the "OK" i am really thinking hard about it.
I've always thought i'd go with either this: =/\= on my bicep or this somewhere:
(sorry if that is big)
I love the bicep idea (and it wouldnt be big) but the last ten years my body weight and muscle tone has fluctuated a bit. I use to be a lot more muscular than i am now, but i have been working out again and working on the arms which do look a lot better (although not what they use to be). So a bicep tattoo is a possibility.
I'd also like to put the tattoo someplace where i can see it, but i also love the idea on my back, sort of like, under my neck. (i've also always loved the idea of having a UPC code on the back of my neck too. i know, weird).
So i am leaning towards putting it on my wrist, so that i can see it. It will be a small one, no larger than an inch.
Ok, so if anyone has a Trek tattoo i would really appreciate seeing photos of yours and any ideas you may have.

in the top corner of my chest. But many thought that I was to old to get such a tattoo. I even had a board here on trek bbs, and most anybody that was my age (almost 50) thought it was a bad idea; however, I met a guy who had the same tattoo that you are showing and it look great. So, I will say GO FOR IT, YOU have my support.
