Currently my owner and I are discussing tattoos, though it's not a matter of "if" it's a matter of style and type at this point. Been looking around the web and we are currently thinking of doing it in Kenji (Japanese characters) as it seems to be fairly common and most people can't read them so it doesnt' have to be as hidden. And since my Mistress speaks Japanese it seemed like a good idea.
At any rate was curious on hearing some other points of view from those that have either given their subs/slaves tattoos to mark them as theirs and from those that have received them.
In particular I'm curious about impacts on the relationship either positive or negative.
also very interested in opinions from anyone that also used Kenji for this purpose.
I personally find it fascinating that you would want to do that. Not because I'm in awe of the tattos themselves, but rahter the love and bonds between the two of you that it shows. *smiles* I know quite a bit of Japanese myself that I've amassed over the last 9 or so years. I have to finish learning a few more concepts and I could easily pass the tests that they give in Japan for how liguistically (sp??) adept you are at the language. :D I think that it's wonderful that you want to do it in Kanji as it is both beautiful and elagant and the meanings for one knaji are many and varied depending on what you use it for and how the lines are drawn and which way they curve.
Word of caution though;
Most Japanese see tattos as a tabo thing and so, if you intend to ever visit Japan, make sure they're covered up. The older generation sees it as a defiling of the body and the younger gnerations do it to show membership to gangs there if I have not misunderstood the things that I have heard, read, and been told by friends that have went there. *smiles*
Other than that, have fun.
Oh, and yes, tattos are reversable with lazers and such. But! It is extreamly painful and it costs crap loads of money. :( Only two downsides. :D
Bye for now,
Me
