A picture tells a thousand words. So, what does my "ink" say about me? (rhetorical 😀)
Full back tattoo of a phoenix
Invictus (poem by William Henley)
Desiderata (poem by Max Ehrmann)
Semi-colon

@Fawkes are you saying this is the ink you would have ?
When I had radiotherapy I was tattooed to line up the radiation beam in the correct place.
When I finished my first radiotherapy - I considered getting one of my tatts changed to something, I did think of a semi-colon and I considered a few other things. I never got it done because couldn't afford it, but perhaps something to think about in future

That is what I thought @Fawkes
I don't have tattoos but do have Invictus taped up in my bathroom and used to have Desiderata before. The phoenix is a powerful metaphor.

Oh wow @Fawkes - where are the poems, if you don't mind me asking.
A full back phoenix would look great (if somewhat painful) do you have nice colours in it

I have about 15 or so tattoos. Some have blended into others so I'm not sure anymore.
My smallest is a semicolon my largest is a biomechamical half sleeve.

@The-red-centaur I quite like those biomechanical type ones.
I think many people have semi-colons

I don't have any tattoos but I have a semi-colon pendant
The other one I would do is a 1 cent coin, because to me it says I'm priceless.

My smallest too is a semicolon. My biggest is a full sleeve.
I have 7 other tattoos decorating my body, all with different meanings to me.
Working on my next one now.
