All kidding aside, yarn, you want to think long and hard about what you want permanantly inked on you. AllyKay on Broadway had some great ideas. The comedy/tragedy idea is also a good one, if not original - you could do a variation on them, maybe having the faces in the rainbow colours to incorporate your gay theme.
I'd recommend staying away from quotes or even logos of specific shows - what you like when you're 18, you may not care for even into your late 20s, much less 50s. As for the gay theme, while you might be out & proud (and you should be proud of that), you might find there are times when you might want to conceal that fact (for work, say, or not getting your a$$ kicked by some redneck).
In general, I'd say if you're determined to get a tattoo, go right ahead (I have several & love them all, but a great deal of thought went into all of them), but I'd advise you place the tattoo in an area that can be as easily hidden as it can be shown off.
And I'll second love4cheno, not only is tattoo removal painful, but also VERY expensive and often not altogether successful. you don't get nice clean skin back.
Good luck!
eta for luvliza: tattoos are painful - you are essentially creating a wound on your body that will have to be cared for as such. Anything involving a solid colour means the needle going over & over the same part of your skin til it's saturated. A typical tattoo about the size of a half dollar will take at least half an hour. I'd also like to add how sensible I think you guys are to do research & ask questions before you get this done.
