in reply to Tattoo question
Risking hepatitis for Perl, are we? Something like 1:3 tatoo'd people have hep, no?
Doesn't seem worth the risk to me...
And you're an admitted Perl novice, what if you decide you like Ruby better in 6 months?
I can see Randal or Larry getting a Perl tatoo, but a novice, why?
Right now you're just a wanna-be..
But, if you must, I suggest the sentence "Just Another Perl Hacker,", a real JAPH, or just the letters JAPH.
Definitely post a picture.

Joost is right. Almost everyone I know has ink, as the kids say, including me. None of us has ever had hepatitis. No reputable studio will give you any disease.
On the subject of the content, though, I tend to agree. An obfu might be nicer. And something else to keep in mind, spelt out tats don't weather fashion and time well and tats, like jokes, that have to be explained aren't usually worth the effort.
Update for drama: more of my friends have had bubonic plague than hepatitis.

thankyou for reassuring me on the tattoo safety front, those two who did. I've reconsidered to perhaps wait until I know Perl better so I can think of something more interesting to the mighty and knowledgable residents of this eerie monastary.
My basic idea with the tattoo BTW, is that I want to have a band of characters surrounding my arm for each language I get familiar with.. so there'll be one Korean, French, Perl, ... anyway, right now the only band is a binary one. So I'm trying to think of ways to aesthetically extend the effect.
Maybe I should just stick with the binary. It's more.. pattern-y.
Thanks anyways for the suggestions. La.
