Contemplating something similar, maybe more like this one: http://img1.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/x0/x1375.jpg I like the concept, not sure on the style but only because it wouldn’t suit me.

"tattoos" (no. 10) is WAY off. Has tons of style, beauty. I agree with Samantha (no. 1) — best one yet. “tattoos” (no. 10) is WAY off. Has tons of style, beauty.

That way people can wonder which universe they're in. It would be more fun if it were a temporary tattoo which appears somedays on the right and somedays on the left arm.

I have also read the wikipedia page you link to. However, the tattoo sucks. No offence. It is ugly, how deep and clever its meaning may be, it has no style, no beauty at all. ok, I admit, the explanation is cool. I have also read the wikipedia page you link to.

A self-fornicating cat. Is it gay or not? It's not certain, nor is it's gender. Here is another twist you can add to your explanation. A self-fornicating cat. Is it gay or not?

Schroedinger's Tattoo. I don't like tattoos at all, but this could be the next step to a halfway tattoo idea (unless you use those non permanent ones). Can't add any comment pic with this comment to aid my idea here, but will try next time! Lol! Claire Wouldn’t it be good if we could get tattoos that only collapsed when others looked at them?

Would've gone right to the fornicating. Unless at a physics conference, perhaps. But then physicists have strange sense of humor and would probably have just made two cats fornicating, which they'd explain as Schroedinger's cat, then giggled secretly about as they got others to believe their cats fornicating was a symbol of their genius. And it would be, but only for getting people to think two cats fornicating is the best thing ever. At least that's how I would play it. LOL@Vitelli
