Tattoos? Meh.
Vox wants to know about ink:
Do you have any tattoos? If not, if you were going to get inked, what would you get?
I don't think I'd ever get a tattoo, because I'm the sort that really enjoys impermanence, but if I would get one, it'd probably be my name in Oriya:
I used to doodle on myself in marker or sharpie all the time as a kid and on into high school, then moving into writing on my clothes and stuff, but I'd always come back to writing my name on me, often on the inside of my wrist. So, alternate universe emo Anil would have the tattoo above.

I'm still sort of lost on my feelings about getting a tattoo - in the last 4 or 5 years I've changed a lot - I can't imagine ever staying the same and ever liking a marking forever. I guess I agree with you on the impermenance.
Check this out. I too have gone back and forth but I would consider this if it where around and worked well.
