I considered that on the first wave of "I could hide it" along with thigh, bikini line, side of breast, the other relatively hide-able places.
But I like necks, and I have a good long neck that I like showing off. The big thing about my skin as a canvas is that sometimes the whitespace is the most effective use of it. I like being able to lift my arms and turn around naked and just see the curves of me without distractions.
The point of the tattoo for me would be more a pledging allegiance than a showing people the design. Doctor Who means certain things to me, pacifism and pursuit of truth and justice and brilliance and not taking oneself too seriously. The shape, with its curves and rotational symmetry and Art Deco sensibility, adds a grounding sense of order and music and math to the Doctor's loose cannon.
I'd rather just know it's there, if that makes any sense. Good consideration, though. Thanks for helping me articulate that.
