People always seem kind of surprised that I don't have a Memphis tattoo. I've thought about it before, but I'm not exactly sure how I would adequately represent my deep relationship with the city.

Several of you seem to have figured it out, though. When I asked for photos of Memphis tattoos earlier this week, I got a bunch of good ones from Memphians and non-Memphians alike. Here's a sampling of some of your permanent odes to the city:

Of course, Sun Studios employees have good Memphis art. Tour guide Cora P. has Elvis' signature on her shoulder:

Her co-worker Victor B. has this huge, work-appropriate sun logo on his chest:

Stephen H. has two Memphis tattoos - one is the city's coordinates, and the second is the St. Jude logo with his son Josiah's patient number underneath:

Jon B.'s Tennessee tattoo is simple, but I like it:

Tina M.'s tattoo totally is TCB:

Elizabeth C.'s tattoo combines her two favorite places, England and Memphis:

Chris has the Rum Boogie guitarist on his side:

Anna (who now lives in Columbus, Ohio) got her "You've got a prayer in Memphis" tattoo as a reminder that "in Memphis we each have something to hold on to".

Do you have a Memphis tattoo? If you were to get one, what would you get and where?
