I would NOT do it. but it is cool to see what has been done. " Coin Tattoos" link: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Coin Tattoos&FORM=RESTABI I know totally random.... but some might get a good laugh from it like I did.
I think some of those are really cool, but I just hate tats personally. The closest I came to getting one was when I came back from Iraq. We were talking of getting our combat badge tattooed on the right shoulder, but I thought better of it.
What if you decided to stop collecting mercury dimes for example or stop collecting coins at all? And I'm not a fan of tattoos, Personally.
I love tattoos and have many hours of work myself but I couldn't put a coin on me. My taste in coins changes too frequently and artwork I have put on my body I think about for years before having it done.
There's some nice artwork there. Can't see myself getting one, though I would give fifty bucks to the first person who gets CoinTalk tattooed on themself. lol
1St word Grandpa said to me about coins History in hand only worth what collector will buy for, so never think it a investment that grows.
No offense - but maybe on the ladies of the forum but nobody else. I like coins but not enough to cause permanent damage to myself.
