IPU Tattoo

[Zathras]

I've decided that my next tattoo will be an IPU symbol.  Any suggestions to the best location?

What he said.  I've never seen the attraction of tattoos.  Used to be so daring, but now every jerk, who thinks he's cool, has barbed wire or a tribal.  BTW, what tribe is that from?  I've never seen a tribesman of any tribe with one of those.  It must be the asshat tribe.

you guys have avoided the ipu for too long in the house that SFEley built.

1.  Invisible Pink Unicorn.  Actually the symbol for it.  Sorry, I forgot to add the link.

2.  Tattoos.  I don't have a single "tribal" tattoo.  

My tattoos, in the order I got them:

Anarchy symbol on right arm  (homemade, bad idea)
Norse Runes on my right ankle (homemade)

Large skull on right arm to cover the [stePH's favorite word]ed up anarchy symbol.

Frihet on a dagger on left forearm

Dragon around the skull on right arm

GIGO on right forearm

The crowd I ran with when I started getting tattoos was best described as "bikers" but they weren't Hells Angels or anything.  NOT THAT I HAVE A THING AGAINST HELLS ANGELS.  I am not nearly bad ass enough to say anything bad about them.

I was going to add my tattoo post to an existing IPU post, but they all were a bit... contentious.

the ipu is a contentious symbol, she's just doing her job =)

i have a sun tattoo on the back of my head where the spine meets the skull.  there, where the primitive brain stem first meets the brain, it is a symbol for the spark of divine consciousness.

this is the frontier that our generation is exploring, we are taking tentative steps towards a higher understanding of consciousness itself.  we know that we are (i think, therefore i am), maybe during our lifetime we'll know what we are.  someday we may even know why.

and in hobo code it is also a symbol for a bad-tempered person.  i understand that even on my sunniest of days i can be a little gruff.

I've been thinking about the following locations:

Palm of left hand
Left upper arm
Somewhere on my back (currently no tattoos there at all)
Base of neck

why not show the multifaceted religious world we live in and get ipu on the back of left shoulder and be touched by his noodly appendage on the right

I googled "IPU" before posting my question.  My first two results:

IPU‎ - SPDR S&P International Utilits Sec (ETF) (NYSE)

Parliamentary Democracy - Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU)

I was just too tired to think about it much.  The idea of a tough guy putting a pink unicorn on his body just didn't seem plausible to me.

I've found this logo which I think is what Z had in mind.  It is, however, neither invisible nor pink.

Obviously, I can't get a tattoo of an Invisible Pink Unicorn.  I don't know anyone with any Invisible Pink Ink.

I'm taking a break from the forums for a while.  I was going to go off on a diatribe, but I'll save it for my blog.

Bye.

actually you can kinda get one that is kinda invisible, which i guess means it's not longer really invisible if that's the case.

anyway, i know a few folks that have tattoos done with UV Blacklight reactive ink.  which means that it will only show under blacklights.

here's some info on it, http://www.tattooartists.org/Gal3975_UV_Blacklight_Ink.asp

though i imagine that you prolly would like to get the tattoo done to show it off with nice bold line work.

Completely disregarding the matter of your getting a tattoo, the symbol itself is neither invisible nor pink.  And it hardly even resembles a unicorn except by the most tenuous stretch.

I remember hearing about this back in the early 90's.  None of the artists I talked to would use it, didn't carry it, wouldn't use it if you ordered it and brought it with you.  The original at least is actually made with I think it's radium, the same stuff used in watches to make the "indiglo" on the hands work.  It is radioactive as madam curie could tell you.  I was interested at the time in getting the Misfits skull tattooed on me in it.

I sometimes consider tattoos, but never seem to come up with anything that I could live with permanently.  Though lately I've thought the Ohtori Academy crest/seal would be fun to have.



The upper left one (#1) in particular, the one that's on the duelists' rings.  I would get it in color; it's supposed to be a stylized pink rose.

im gonna get a full body tattoo of a biologically correct human muscle structure.
BUT UPSIDE-DOWN! :O!!!!

Radium hasn't been used in watched since the fifties.  If this ink actually used a radioactive substance, it would be illegal to use it for tattoos.

upon reading the link it says it's not radioactive.  All I know is what I was told in the early 90's by tattoo artists and friends with tattoos.  There was no Web to look it up myself for sure.
