Moosader:I've never seen so many people avidly against tattoos. 0.o In so much as to question one's sanity for getting one.Thanks for understanding! Jeez, I thought Esperanto speakers were supposed to be open-minded and tolerant!
I guess most of who I hang out with are young-adult college students in Kansas City, so uh... different culture? Anyway, I think it's kind of... well, mean so be so negative about something that can mean a lot to people. Sometimes people get tattoos for a symbolic reason, to mean something to them. I don't want any tattoos, but I'm not going to put down anyone who does want them.
Besides, this person wants to express an excitement and love of Esperanto through a medium that isn't that rare these days. Maybe it's a desire to find others who speak Esperanto easily while out in the world, aye? I made a "Mi ŝatas Esperanton" t-shirt for the same reason, but I can't wear it every day... it'd get crusty. D:
Other groups may have other ways to distinguish themselves; specific jewelry and whatnot. Either way, maybe just taking the question as "Are there any specific [symbols] for the Esperanto culture?" rather than tattoos.
Anyway, to go back on-topic - InsaneInter, maybe find a song or phrase that means a lot to you and use that.
I've come up with my own design that is a green background, and instead of a white star I basically drew up a lily with five points, because I thought it'd be a little unique.
Beyond the Esperanto star/flag, there's also the "melon", but I think it's kind of ugly.

InsaneInter:Word of advice: Any time you think, "[insert group of people here] were supposed to be [insert attributes here]", you're going to wrong at least some percentage of the time.
Thanks for understanding! Jeez, I thought Esperanto speakers were supposed to be open-minded and tolerant!
As for the tattoo, I've got no ideas. But then, I can't imagine any design I'd want on my body for the rest of my life.

I would never get a tattoo personally but if you want one, then please please please, I beg you, get your words checked by multiple reliable & experienced Esperantists before going ahead with it. You don't want your picture to end up on one of those photoblogs of people with mistakes in their tattoos (like at www.badhebrew.com - though of course an Esperanto one wouldn't end up there).
I have personally seen maybe one Esperanto tattoo, a small green star on someone's bicep. It's a wise and safe choice. Even if you dropped Esperanto later, you're not stuck with words (possibly misspelled words, possibly saying something you no longer agree with).

erinja:That "trovu la ringon perditan" thing is a photoshop from an old McDonald's marketing campaign (google "find the lost ring") in conjunction with the 2008 Olympics. It's not a real tattoo.Googled it, but just random stuff showed up LOL. Alright, I'll get my words checked! Though I was thinking of getting something like a globe surrounded by five or seven stars( to represent the continents). I think that'd be "tight" LOL. Mind you, I take tattoos seriously
