I got a tattoo of a Pegasus on my left shoulder and I LOVE it. Why Pegasus? I found out where Pegasus stomped his hooves, poetry sprung forth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus

My suggestion is: Don't do it! They don't wash off, you know.
Well, washing is over rated anyway.
Just don't put it any place that's going to sag a lot in the future.
My favorite tattoo idea was to get a tat of a squished bug on the bottom of my foot.
Nobody I've told finds it nearly as funny as I do.
Charmi, sad to say, most everything sags a lot in the future.
Leslie, that would hurt. But I say go for it. Send a picture.
You, tatooed... Hott! Make sure you do left shoulder and not right. Unless you want to be the prisoner instead of the prison guard.

C.Dale, yep, left shoulder. I never was much for being the prisoner, except for that one time I don't talk about outside of truth or dare.
Christopher, yes, great idea, but wouldn't it be kind of creepy having poetry springing from your left shoulder?
