Since you asked, miniature endgame positions of Fool's Mate (in two)

on my left thigh and Scholar's Mate (in four) high on my forehead.

Cool design though

If anyone can do it I'm sure this dude can. Or maybe get the piping to twist round so it reads 'e2-e4' as I'm sure that's the first move I ever made in chess 🙂 and that's also how I was taught to annotate (although I think it's been shortened to just e4 in most standard notations). Hmmm so many ideas haha

Well I was kinda hoping that since you said one is on your forehead that it was temporary. If it wasn't then you'd have an insane obsession with chess!

google images for "chess tattoo" has 6 hits. two photos of a guy with a full-head chessboard tattoo. one of the white pieces. the other three maybe no tattoo.

the link with white pieces has a lot of interesting chessmasters' gravesites.

Had them done because of your tat thread today.
Tomorrow morning's shower and they'll be gone.

Hey, Dave, would you agree that we all have our obsessive moments, areas of immoderation and excess (maybe in part due to wattage)?

I really like this one, however, do the knights look totally similar to you?

I'd never ink myself.

Though, in an alternative world, I'd certainly get a knight on the center of the back.

My own childhood experience was similar, Dave, except that the 'nuklaractor' grew up inside me.

So make allowances, if and when you can... my very worst threads simply the jettisoning of spent

cylinders and late night unnecessary posts little more than toxic waste. Thanks. 😀

GB your insightful look into everything not only harmonizes the feelings in the forums...it enlightens each and everyone of us to go out and have a brighter day.

Either that or kick a kitten into a floor fan.

Just kidding.
