I tend to get tattooed when hypomanic... I'm up to 8, I think? One of them has been embellished so it would be 9 if they were separate. Sometimes I'm smart enough to plan them in advance, but getting them is almost always mood-related.
I have a Grover (from Sesame Street), alien, Rabbit (from Pooh), cheshire cat, gnome, and shield with a banner that says "Vita Brevis, Ars Longa" on my back, a leafy vine around my left upper arm, and a Hawaiian flower and bird on my right upper arm/shoulder.
At least I've cut back on the piercings?
