4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

My goal is poisonous plants, I wanna start with belladonna on my shoulder, but later I also wanna get some oleander, and I haven't decided what else yet for the other limbs. It's expensive though, so I haven't gotten any tattoos yet. Soon, I have plans.

As someone with a lot of tattoos, I'd recommend getting a small simple one in a location that's usually covered by clothes for your first one ... some people just don't take to the experience for whatever reason or find that they don't enjoy the result like they thought - committing yourself to a whole project right from the start might not work out well.

Every plant is poisonous if you manage to eat enough.

But seriously I love the idea! If I ever get a tattoo (unlikely, but who knows) it would probably be something planty.

For a poisonous plant that's not commonly known I recommend Daphne gnidium. It was used to catch fish around here. Flowers have a hypnotic smell.
