I finally took the step :)
I chose this design for several reasons; One of them is to remind me of my own and my loved ones mortality. Live by the day. :)

An alternate view of the same subject. I feel this is far better.
The 7th sense - my personal idea of appreciating smooth tones and simple linework within the subject; still trying to understand it.
Painted on my iPhone 3g with SketchBookMobile. Inspired by the wonderful art of Alex Maleev on the Iron Man Civil War Trade Paperback that I was just reading recently. After about a decade or so away from comics, I've been delving into them alot more lately, catching up on some excellent work (and stories!)
3+ months healed. Yep, the linework =/= great. Whatever.
You will not notice this tattoo in normal light. There is a faint scar of the tattoo visible and when pointed out to people they said they had a hard time seeing it even when shown. It does glow brightly under blacklight.
Information Regarding UV Tattoos
Chameleon UV Tattoo Ink: I purchased 1oz Titanium White UV ink from this vendor. Click here for the Material Data Safety Sheets regarding BIOMETRIX System-1000 Photonic Marking Formulation Safe Spectral Marking Pigment inks.
According to the website, "The Crazy Chameleon has on file a letter dated April 3, 1995 from the Division of Programs and Enforcement Policy, USFDA, and addressed the manufacturer of our ink, containing the following conclusion:
'Having reviewed the information supplied by you [our manufacturer of the ink] and your supplier ... FDA would have no objection to the use of your photonic dye marking [tattooing] system ...'"
I had this tattoo done at No Regrets Tattoo in Raleigh, NC. They were the only shop in the state that would work with the UV ink.
Information I gathered at the time about UV tattoos left me with the impression that many tattoo artist professionals will not ink with them. They are relatively new to the market (I've heard only used in tattoos for the last 11 years) and their safety and long-term effectiveness is untested. Do your research and ask a health care provider if you have any questions related to the medical safety of such tattoos.

I thought I had already added this here, but it seems not. It is another embroidered circuitboard piece - the first one I ever made that uses only 1 color of embroidery floss. (I suppose you could count my previous work of the cat and the rabbit under the trees as using only one color, except I decided to add a hamster in the border to make the piece represent my family's actual animal contingent. Oh wait, and there was the "blue and white" keychain where the blue was the color of the circuitboard so the only color thread used was white. But actually I finished that keychain AFTER I finished this piece, I just forgot to post this piece until now.)
