What tattoo do you want and where would you put it? – So Ask the Daily Writing prompt.

I never really wanted a tattoo nor thought about where I’d put it. Might sound odd from someone who rode a bike for a few decades. Also some nights in my youth where I could have woken up with one.

Not that I have anything against it, just choose to use a different canvas for my artwork. I think there are some wonderful pieces on people’s bodies. There is also a lot of junk.

It’s said it’s never too late to change one’s mind so I’ll go with the flow of the question. It’s fun to think about what I’d get at this point in my life.

I don’t ride anymore so a biker tat isn’t in order.

Maybe something functional now that I’m getting older. How about “Return to Patti” for when I get lost? Nah, I’m not that old yet.

Maybe the title of one of my favorite songs “Simple Man” on my forearm? Possible

Hey, my chest hair is getting grey, maybe I’ll put a Santa Claus face and hat on the chest? Just kidding.

Maybe my family’s initials over my heart? This one has me thinking.

I’m still a car guy so maybe something like “Blacken Asphalt” or “There is no Replacement for Displacement” Nah, still for the younger me.

Maybe one of my many nicknames given to me. Nah, most of those are youth-inspired and I don’t need to explain some.

I don’t need to get our anniversary date or my better half’s birthday because I can still remember them so that tat is out.

I love the beach, maybe a palm tree and sunset behind it just off my shoulder? Possible.

Maybe a picture of a camera and my head behind it taking a picture. So that way when I’m holding the camera body with my right hand and the heavy lens with my left it will look like the two of us taking the shot. Nah, to complex

I got it. A beach chair, umbrella, and me laying on the sand and shore in the center of my back.
