I think a henna tattoo would be a good idea. But not a permanent one—you'd likely regret it horribly the following week upon deciding you'd have preferred something else, or no tattoo at all.
I can also understand tattoos being an expression of identity, but identity isn't static. Whatever you have injected into you aged twenty may well be little more than irrelevant faded ugliness by the age of thirty, forty, fifty.
Besides, if you want something stuck to you forever that you'll be sick of within a year, I volunteer myself. ;-)
I /love/ that song.
