I have always wanted a tattoo, the problem is, i travel a lot, globally, and having ink on my skin might be one of those things that could get me into trouble some places. I was considering instead, of getting a small either, brand, or scarification of some sort, whereas the design would just be a raised area of skin. It is a fairly simple and geometrical design that i want, and I’m making a model of it now, but It isn’t nearly done yet (it’s so simple, that it’s hard to get it right- basically it’s representing a mobius strip with just solid shapes… so it’s just like 5 rounded shapes near eachother and it looks like a mobius strip). I figure if someone does notice it, I could always pass it off as an accidental scar or something. I don’t mind pain too much, but what I want to know is this: is there anyone near the twin cities (MN) that does this sort of body art?

Sounds like a nice design!
I only know people near Philly that can do branding and scarification. Check on bmezine.com to see if anyone has suggestions or reccomendations.

I think tattoos are so main-stream now that you wouldn’t offend many. Unless you have a naked chick on your forearm and end up in Saudi Arabia for business. Then you might want to wear long sleeves.
