I'm 40 now, and have always wanted a tattoo but could never decide what I should get. I was thinking something linux or maybe vmware related because I love both of those things. Very glad I didn't get anything vmware related now!

A tattoo of proprietary software or really any company seems kind of sad and dystopian to me. Nothing against vmware in particular. I recall an old meme collage of a bunch of people with Apple tattoos that was not putting them in a favorable light.

Maybe a Sun logo could be an exception, they're not around anymore, so it feels more like nostalgia or grieving instead of "this company owns me". I wasn't around/aware when Sun was, also, so they feel more like a mythical thing from a story to me than an old company.

Same here, I want a tattoo, but can't decide what is something I care about enough to get on my skin forever.

I've kinda sorta decided on a hex/honeycomb pattern so I can fill each hex with e different thing. That would keep it consistent (can't stand the style of tattoos where they're just slapped haphazardly everywhere) but still variable enough.

I had a similar issue, so I just got something small and essentially random. Now that the seal is broken, thinking of more tattoos is easy.

I had the same idea about a linux tattoo. Then I decided I could also design a new linux t-shirt or sweater for myself each year.
