I have two. My first is Chinese characters. I'd wanted a tattoo for a long time and finally got that one after I had a lumpectomy. It's above my scar, and I think of it as my talisman. They are kind of addictive, though, and I kept wanting another one that people could actually see, so ten years later I got my monkey just above my left anklebone. I figure if I can limit myself to one every ten years (actually, I think it was nine and a bit *g*), that's not too bad.
