My wife got her first tattoo today, or as her mum called it "a permanent skin drawing". The tattoo is a Kanji symbol which on its own has a couple of meanings relating to "length of time". In either the single form shown or with a 2nd Kanji symbol, it is most often used to depict "Eternity". I'm not a fan of tattoo's in the classic/biker sense, but this one is Sexy! The fact that it is always going to be there might take some time to sink in.
