tattoo you

was thinking about brian welch (from the band korn - i refuse to call him *head* any more because in baptism, he became a new person, not a head...) who was baptized this past weekend - when i went to his website, i saw he had *matthew 11:28* tattooed onto the side of his neck - without getting into the *yea* or *nay* aspect of Christian body art, (which i happen to support since i have maybe one (or three) myself), i am wondering if there is something scriptural or a verse you are fond enough of you put it as a permanent mark on yourself to honor the Lord?

i found my first tattoo on this site called religious tattoos - it was a dove with an olive branch and i had it done the same day my 18 year-old son got his celtic trinity. he was 18 and i was 40 - i had made an ever solemn promise (oh yes - a pinky swear) when he was all of 12 or 13 that i would get a tattoo with him when he turned 18. he's gone on to get three more, i've gotten two more, mine are less than an inch or so in size; his are very elaborate, but beautiful.

seeing brian's tat of *matthew 11:28*, i got to thinking about which bible verse, if any stands out to me enough to ink it. i am so in love with so many verses, i'd read like a newsprint by the time i was done, so i have opted not to get lettering other than the alpha/omega letters that i already have (it's all greek to me...) and while i admit to having ample room for parts of 2 corinthians (i was thinking on my side, like a thorn), what about the psalms? would there be enough room near my heart if i had already chosen there for the song of songs?
