Internal Tattoos

So we were talking about tattoos at work the other day. Turns out none of us have one, but we’d all thought about it. One guy mentioned that he’d like a chip on his shoulder, and after that the suggestions came flooding in:

A tap on the head.
A bird in the hand (and two in the… Well, maybe not).
A monkey on your back.
A millstone round your neck.
Water on the knee.

Then someone (come to think of it, it might have been me) mentioned toad in the hole…

Which got me thinking about internal tattoos. Getting things tattooed on your internal organs. It might be a bit of a kerfuffle (what with having to open you up and stitch you back together again afterwards), but it does have definite possibilities, even if it’s only to surprise a coroner.

For example, if you’re an alcoholic, getting an already expired “best before” date tattooed on your liver might be fun. Or “Buy one get one free” on one of your kidneys.

Organ donors could write good luck messages on their innards, or “if found, please return to…” messages.

Couples sometimes like to have the name of their beloved indelibly etched on an intimate part of their body… With Valentines Day fast approaching, what could be more romantic than having the name of your lover literally emblazoned across your heart?
