You're right, it is an old thread, and I still stand by what I said.
Last Christmas, I was at a relative's and played a game of chess with my then 6yr old niece. She knew enough to move the pieces and had a good idea of the game, but I caught her cheating--she moved one of my pieces.
She insisted she didn't, and I said maybe the cat moved my bishop. A few moves later and she does it again. Try as I might to convince her that she moved my piece when I was talking to someone, she would not hear of it. About then, everyone else sat down for dinner.
A tattoo is not imaginary, not a mental image, but a physical one, even if it is hidden. It is there, like a ring on a finger--it's sole purpose is to attract attention: Yours only, or whomever you choose to show it to. It's sole purpose is to attract attention--even if you are only washing dishes......
