Hassan-i Sabbah
Ben sent me something from BME's Modblog and I've been browsing the text tattoos, looking for inspiration... I think this one is pretty goddamn awesome.

That is pretty much badass. I only have one tattoo, but I think you'd appreciate it. It is a muted trumpet with the word "WASTE" underneath.

I can't believe we apparently have the same tattoo. That's really cool.

That's just weird! Very cool.
Mine doesn't have the periods, but its the same thing. It has bled and blurred over the years (I've had it almost fifteen years), but still clearly the trumpet and word.
How many people do you think have that tattoo? My fraternity big brother is the only other one I know - we got them before he left for grad school in the summer of '92.

I know Mike Powell has the trumpet, although I don't believe the word, on his chest. Where is yours?
I want to get another one, but as I said I'm trying to figure out what exactly I want.

It is on the outside of my right bicep.
My wife and I talked about getting tattoos for wedding bands, but didn't - maybe for our tenth anniversary in a few years. I've yet to find the next thing I'd really want inked.

I'm still planning on getting W.A.S.T.E./the muted trumpet on my left wrist too - I just haven't been around to see Randy lately.

Ah yes - I hadn't forgotten, I just wasn't thinking of that in terms of this.
