If you are serious about shooting and love your gear that much why the hell would you get "program" inked to your arm for all eternity?
Personally if I ever got a tattoo, and am never going to get a tattoo, I'd get a Nikon F3hp with MD-4 and Nikkor 18f3.5 Ai-S. I had thought about it a while back and really if I am getting something permanently inked to my skin its going to be an F3hp & 18f3.5. |

->> Having a photo-related tattoo, this makes me cringe. It's one thing to immortalize something more timeless and universal on your person, but this is just good for a laugh.
He'll soon wish the clone tool existed in real life. |

No, no, no. "P" is for "professional," remember? |

Then there's program mode.. |

| ->> Fish, I would go for a Nikon F, with the F non Meter Prism, F-36 Motor Drive and Battery Grip with the 35mm f/2.0, I used this combination in Puerto Rico in 1981 at the riots at the University of PR, when the shooting started, I was right there in the middle with that one camera!! |

->> OK, I'm going to hijack this thread:
If you did get a photo-oriented tattoo, what would it be?
If I wimped out, it would be a lens aperture set to f/8 over the words "Be There"
If I went all in I'd get "Moonrise Over Hernandez, New Mexico" across my back.

->> Mark Loundy boldly asked "If you did get a photo-oriented tattoo, what would it be?"
Mark,
As stated above, it would be a Nikon F3hp with MD-4 and Nikkor 18f3.5 Ai-S. The prism would have heavy brassing and there'd be a a few dents.
Years ago I thought about this question, although I'll never get a tattoo, and the answer has always been the same. A tattoo is for life and a Nikon F3 is for life. |

->> Years ago I bought a film strip stencil with it's own ink. I used it as a pattern and had a film strip tattoo done around my arm. Over the years, I have had parts of my life that are important to me tattood into each frame of the film strip. There are 11 frames and each has a real simple graphic.
Just like photographers, you want to hire the best tattoo artist possible. |

->> Mark-
I have an aperture (around f/5.6, it appears) on my back. It's about 3" in diameter, and I love it. When I showed my mother, she asked, "so when does it wash off?" Oops... :) |

->> Apologies to Ansel Adams, but Mark, you should get "Moonrise...." tattooed way down low on your back, or even lower, so that it truly becomes a moonrise as you drop your drawers!!
Sorry, just couldn't resist! |

->> I'd prob get one of the aperture/shutter speed charts on my forearm, so when I'm shooting outside, my exposures are a bit better...
gear-wise, probably a Minolta XG-M, it was my first camera. |
