Tattoos

I've always had respect for people with tattoos.
I think to commit to something, anything, that'll be with you for the rest of your life is impressive.

I know for certain what my first tattoo will be:

It's the oscilloscope reading of the double-scroll output given off by the Chua Circuit, the simplest electronic circuit that exhibits Chaos Theory. Chaos being a system that is predictable in principle but unpredictable in practice. In other words, although the system follows deterministic rules, its time evolution appears random. While it is based on predictable mathematical principles like all other circuits, it is so heavily based on initial conditions that make it's output vary so greatly, it becomes unpredictable. I think this applies to the universe as a whole. We live in a universe of some predictability, based on some constant principles. But there are so many simultanious phoenomena occouring all at once the world, the future, is unpredictable. Chaos.

Plan to get it on my right shoulder blade or at least that general area.

Other tattoo ideas floating in my head right now as well:
The word "Life" in 8-bit ascii binary. Left shoulder blade. The idea that everything we know and interpret and love can be contrived from soley 'yes' or 'no' answers.

Cactuar. Behind my right ear. Mischief, happiness, elusiveness of life, the importance of imagination in my life.
Pixelated Companion Cube from Portal. Left shoulder. Friendship, love of the past, willingness to let go, the ability of innanimate objects to inspire humanity to love.

Meteor/FF7 Logo. Right shoulder. Imagination, preciousness of life, persistence, fighting against impossible odds, general badassery.

Bread and Butterflies. Right wrist. Imagination, power of words, importance of the 'ridiculous,' and seemingly meaningless.

Small letter 'e' from the Serial Experiments Lain logo. Behind the left ear? Stands for Experiments, importance of curiosity in an unexplainable chaotic, sometimes harsh world. I swear it has nothing to do with ecstasy =P but I don't mind the amusing common misunderstanding that would likely ensue.

and lastly, while I don't have a picture, I'd like the two bar measure of the Song of Time from Legend of Zelda. Basically for the same reasons I want the Meteor logo from FF7.

Oh almost forgot.
TMV on my left wrist. Although I'm wary of a band tattoo cause they could always turn into something you no longer approve of. But I think chances of The Mars Volta doing anything like that is slim =P
