I could get all deep and philosophical about Seizing the Day but I'll leave that to you writers -- the four of you who have gone before me have written such beautiful stuff. Wow! So instead of competing I decided to look up Carpe Diem on Google to see what it means to various people... and I'm afraid I got distracted. I mean, who wouldn't??! Check this out!
First of all, is that a stomach? If so, where's the belly button? I'm so confused!
And I couldn't stop there... apparently Carpe Diem tattoos are all the rage. Here's another awesome one.
I'm imagining the conversation when a lucky lady pulls up the shirt above those camo pants -- Carpe Diem right on what we used to call the "pathway to pleasure" (you know, that line of hair that leads from the belly button down)-- yeah baby, seize the day, and while you're at it, seize the, you know...
Okay this one is serious -- this guy is actually super cool...
He is known as "Da Pirate" and he's a HIV/AIDS survivor who is a passionate advocate for HIV and AIDS education - he has truly seized the day. Sounds like an incredible individual.
OMG here is a great one!
At first I was like what the hell? And then I realized it's a CARP. Wow. I mean WOW. That must have been seriously painful. And it suddenly makes me wonder -- if I get my ass covered by a tattoo, would it make it look any smaller? I'll get back to you on that.
Looking at tattoos online is sort of like playing "name the body part" -- anyone have a guess at this next one?
I need to know. In case I want to get one there. Oh wait, my daughter just said it was someone pulling down their pants -- and now that she's said that, I can totally see it. I thought it was like half a boob. Really, stay with me here, that crack could be cleavage, right? Dang! I guess it's been a long time since I've seen a naked bod. ;)
Okay, last one -- I couldn't resist!
Might want to, you know, check a dictionary perhaps, before you're branded for LIFE. Some other really funny misspellings here.
This reminds me of my fave tattoo parlor name: "Scarred for Life Tattoos" (in Boulder, Colorado). Love that!
Okay, enough! :) Now back to your regularly scheduled programming of posts by real writers... Though thanks for inviting me over to play!
maddee, who has tattooed eyeliner and a swirl on her foot, but no Karpe Deims as of yet.

Maddee, you crack me up! Thanks for the early morning laugh -- and glad your daughter figured out the butt. Yes, you need to see more naked bods ;-)!!!
AMAZING about the tattooed misspellings. Of all the times to do a little spell-checking, right?
that was the BEST way to kick off this friday! thanks darlin' maddee. would it be fun and ironic if i intentionally mispelled my first tattoo? hmmm. still a-ponderin'.
PS MY votes are: first photo is from the back and she has a nice rounded hip/ass area; i thought the other one was an upper arm at first but your daughter's right, i think it's an ass, except it looks like it's a little red/inflamed so OUCH. and how about that CARP. awesome.
Too funny. That top one looks like a butt with the crack photoshopped out. And I don't know about the whole philosophical comments above the private bits either. Some things should just speak for themselves, right?
You seriously have tattooed eyeliner?!? Did it hurt?
I have a hard time committing to an outfit for the day, much less a tattoo. And NOTHING POINTED NEAR MY EYES. It's a rule. Not even a guideline, so I admire your bravery w/the liner! It looks lovely (and I never guessed!).
thanks for a fun Friday! Trying to imagine what a writer's tattoo should say, aside from carpe deim, of course!
Okay, now when I get to my fightin' weight, I am going to get my tattoo at Scarred for Life in Boulder! Though it's a tie now with Smokin' Banana Tattoo and Coffee Shop in Broomfield....
Sorry I was gone all day yesterday so I missed responding to the comments. Thank you all for responding -- glad I gave a little levity for your Friday.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who had a bit of trouble with body parts. ;)
I do have tattooed eyeliner Gigi and yes it DID hurt quite a bit, I'll admit. I've been told I did the two most painful places -- the eyes and the foot! And Mysti is right - nothing pointed near the eyes is a good rule of thumb. I NEVER would have done it if I didn't trust the woman completely. She's really is an expert and had done other friends of mine.
Sophie can't wait to hear if you get a tattoo! I have two (besides my eyes) and I have to stop myself from getting more -- as I have to admit that it's addicting.
Vickie that is a great name -- love that. I also love "just a little prick tattoos."
Everyone have a great weekend -- and stay away from the ink shops unless there are really good spellers around!
:)
