Love this idea!
As someone with a couple of code bits tattooed on my body, if anyone is planning on more than a few lines of text, speak to your tattoo artist first.
I once wanted a long bit of code on my arm. I thought it was a good idea, but speaking to my tattoo artist, he explained that after a few years, the text would likely blur and merge together until it was difficult to read.
Ended up going with a smaller snippet which is still clear to this day (15 years later). And seen some others who didn’t listen to advice with an illegible blob where their clean code one was xD
