Otzi had the marks on his left side and it's clear that your tattoo is on the right side of your back. Sorry but even your special "macbook camera" does not physically move ink molecules.

Justin - You're right - in this photo the tat is on the wrong side, but the photo itself is actually flipped. I must have taken this on my macbook's camera, which displays mirror images for whatever reason. SuperDan - Just because acupuncture wasn't invented until about 400 years ago doesn't mean people weren't using acupuncture and -pressure points to relieve pain without having codified its use. Ally - Thanks, ur sexy too. Hi Everyone – This is Mike, the guy with the tattoo.

I've been planning on getting the full set for awhile now. I agree compleatly with your reasoning for it also. Anyway, I hate to be the barer of bad news but its on the wrong side. Yeah cool tattoo.

I hear what you are saying about Otzi, too. I think I may follow in your footsteps and also get this tattoo. I'm an evolutionary psychologist who dreams that humanity will wake up someday and say, "regardless of what our current, blinkofaneye society expects from me, I’m still a human and whatever choice I make is ok." ...each in their own words, of course. You are awakened to a humbling and impassioning reality, friend. :) I like this. I hear what you are saying about Otzi, too. I think I may follow in your footsteps and also get this tattoo.
