Arrow A small, obscure, out-of-the-way tattoo.

Probably only about 2cm x 2cm. In an out of the way location. Like my ankle or something. A tattoo no-one would know about, for no apparent reason.

I'm trying to think of ideas. I'm looking at charts like http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~wwu/images/symbol_chart.gif and trying to pick one. It doesn't really matter what it means. Maybe even like a geometric shape.

Whatever. Your input?

"Think about what you thought was awesome ten years ago. Would you want that on your body now?" - if you have no idea and it doesn't mean anything it'd make a horrible first tattoo.

If you insist on doing something, I'd say a barcode on the back of your head. Noone would ever have to know.

Listen, this is the point. I'm not getting a tattoo of some metal band, my girlfriends name or something sub-cultural, I'm just getting a little symbol that means nothing. I can't grow out of it because it dosen't stand for anything. A barcode has been done and it does stand for the techno hacker whatever scene. I will grow out of that.

Don't get it on your ankle... that's for girls. Get it right on your asscheek or something. Get a club/spade/diamond... even though it's a bit generic.

it's mundane, but " the infinity symbol".
It's hard to ever regret getting that one.

That's good, I want something like that, but even more obscure. That one is a bit recognisable. But yeah, you get the idea of this thread. I'll consider it.

Even wingdings would be cool.

Maybe a paperclip. Or a wingdings bomb..

Then why do you want it?

And no, it means you're an AWESOME LEET HITMAN.

Yeah that's okay. It fits the category and is pretty cool.

If you really don’t want any one to see it, have it don on the arch of your foot, granted in a few years the image may blur, it doesn't sound like what your looking for will have a whole bunch of detail so no big right?

As for what to tattoo there, why not your name blood type and other vital information like that, ya know just in case you get shot, thrown off a ship (hay, it happens) and then get amnesia, you can always check your foot and then be like O duh im Mr Bourn or whatever. But if your going for obscure, look up 2 totally random words in the dictionary and put them next to each other for example, Outrageous Chestnut
