    Well good morning!


    I'm surprised I didn't flinch when this came up in my RSS reader. I'm not sure what that says about me.

    Two tattoos that I'd actually consider, scannable barcode or QR code of my SSN or unique DNA identifiers on the back of my head (no human readable and where the hair will grow over it) and then in between the shoulder blades "If Found Dead, Shave Head".

    Of course, none of them have a brand associated with them but they are all technologies that shaped all of humanity.

    If I get a Gizmodo tattoo will I get a star next to my name for a day? Yes, I am easy - but, at least I learned to ask first. The baristas at Starbucks were surprisingly unamused by the stars on my butt cheeks. "But, officer - Starbutts, get it? I should get free coffee, at least."


    To answer the question seriously (yes, I am capable), I probably would get an Amiga tattoo of some sort, except I can't stand tattoos.

    @robot-shmobot: A Gizmodo star is like a fine wine - one sip of the Giz juice should be enough for anyone. But, I ask first because it could just as easily work against me given the reaction to other fan tattoo projects.

    I'm Jewish, which means no tattoos. But, if I were to get a tattoo, it would be of a pig eating bacon.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Being Jewish does not mean no tattoos. You're probably referring to Leviticus 19:28. Since 1945, though, because of the Holocaust, the rabbinate has taken a more lenient view of tattoos especially where burial is concerned. If you're a conservative or part of the orthodoxy, you'd probably just follow Leviticus, anyway. No tattoo, no need to atone. If you got a tattoo, you'd have to atone for being tattooed, but you would not be denied burial in a Jewish cemetery. The principle of Kavod Ha-Meit (honoring the dead) is more important than the dead person's past fulfillment of each article in the holiness code.

    @peepingdan: Thanks for prompting me to do research. Guess what.

    Getting a tattoo is no worse a transgression than eating swine. Just as a Jew who ate bacon can be buried in a Jewish cemetery, so can a tattooed Jew.

    In all seriousness, I have a design that I made several years ago in memory of my brother, centering around his name in Hebrew, with his date of birth and date of death in a ring around it. Still haven't gotten it.

    @ninjagin: The "no-tattoo" rule is something that every Jew has drilled into their head since childhood, to the point that it's taken on faith (no pun intended).


    Here's a good article from the NYTimes I found: [www.nytimes.com]

    @OMG! Ponies!: It's in the Torah. It is the law. Yet, reform congregations usually don't call anyone out about it. Depends on your temple as to how strident that message is. For example, kids often paint their faces for Purim. In reform temples, they might not teach why this is okay and does not violate the law. In a conservative temple, you'd get the distinction handed to you very very plainly.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Pigman's BBQ has a caricature of the proprietor in flip-flops and natty jeans, holding a bottle of sauce while his arm is draped around the object of his affection, an anthropomorphic sow in a tube top, who has a dialogue balloon over her head in which she is moaning "Ooh Pigman!"


    So we have cannibalism, bestiality, fashion disasters, and high cholesterol rolled into one hot mess.


    And on further reflection, I'm tempted to get a tattoo of Bilbo Baggins from the Rankin Bass version of "The Hobbit".
