    1. flag
    2. blood type
    3. health number (it’s like a Social number but it’s separate for our health system)
    4. a “medic alert” detail I have

    I can’t think of anything else I’d want to get, but I figure that’d be useful. People would know I only sound like Americans because I was in-country on an H1 for a while and it ruined my accent, and if I was unconscious there’s breadcrumbs to go look my shit up.

    I guess it’d have to be on an arm or something; I dunno where medicos look first.

    I could see a tattoo of my personal ID number being a good idea, put it on my ankle where my sock can cover it up.

    So should I die and loose my normal ID, the police can use the ID number on my ankle to help them identify me.

    My next tattoo will be some isopods crawling around some mushrooms. It’ll most likely go on my thigh. It’ll fit in with my mainly nature themed tattoos that I already have.

    Right now I have both my arms and ribs done but nothing down below. It look so bare down there when I wear shorts.

    I’m not sure tbh. I had a plan in place, but never had the funding to move forward with it.

    So, if it wasn’t going to be completing everything, I think I’d go simple with a one-off.

    And I think I’d go with a Vonnegut reference. Maybe a tralfamadorian, maybe a little poo-tee-weet birdy, maybe just an *. But something like that.

    A complete bodysuit depicting the Shimbara rebellion and Amakusa Shirō. Not because they were Christian–duh–but because they fought against the repressive Tokugawa regime, even if they ultimately lost.

    Augment my hammer and sickle with a wheat wreath.

    Why? I think it would look even better, plus it would give me an excuse to touch up an annoying blemish where I picked at the original when it was healing

    Either the piece I’ve been wanting on my upper arm forever of an illustration of camping in the redwoods. Or a botanical drawing, maybe a stippled one, of a fern on my shin up to my knee
