I know I guy who has "Rape Me" tattooed on his chest. It's his favorite Nirvana Song. For the most part, tattoos are a form of art and expression. Phrases such as "death wish" or "kill me" are pretty common, and are absolutely not meant as instructions. The idea of DNR is pretty popular in certain artistic circles. There is an incredible amount of ambiguity in this situation.

Actions often have consequences. I don't see this situation any differently.

You don't see the difference between the aesthetics of a "Rape Me" tattoo and explicit instructions?

[criddell]

Of course I do. I'm talking about the consequences of getting the words "DO NOT RESUSCITATE" applied to your body along with your signature.

That said, there are lots of situations where I think it would be stupid to have "Rape Me" tattooed to my body. It might have lots of calligraphic merit, but if it's on your face, you probably aren't going to be working the customer service counter at Target.
