SuperRoo... superb!

I must say I'd be a bit weirded out if I ever saw a young Japanese kendoka rip offf his (or her) gi to reveal a Eureka flag on their arm.

Others... VB logo, Holden HSV, Centrelink customer number, and the Somali flag. I live in a Bogannic/Somali area.

Me? Tatts? Nah. Like the others have said: my taste is too changeable.

one of my brothers friends got a kanji tatooed on his left palm, and he doesnt even know what it means. he said it looked cool, so he got it. i think its gonna fade. i could never get a tatoo on my palm. ouch! theyre a waste of money imho.

Tattoos don't take well to the palms of the hands or the soles of the feet due to skin regeneration rates and ink dissipation.

I have a palm tattoo, three years old, as vivid as the day it was inked. That said, I don't think anyone should get one, most tattooists aren't good enough to make it stick, it's a ridiculous place for a fashion tattoo, if it's not done well you'll look like an ass, and mine is doing well mostly because it's terribly deep and my skin takes ink better than most.

(For the curious it's a feather from a Russian tale illustrated by Ivan Bilibin.)

Best opinion about tattoos yet expressed. Doncha love taking quotes out of context?

A Swedish friend of mine has a very small one on his foot. A little rectangular box with three words, "Made in Sweden".

The right palm being subject to considerably more friction (and hence regeneration) in your case eh?

...or maybe you're a gyaku thrapper?
