Snakes or tattoos?

Considering I have over 20 snakes and have had that many (or more) for over 20 years and I have no tatoos, I would have to say snakes.

I tell my anatomy students if they want to get rich, they should go to medical school, become dermatologists and specialize in tatoo removal. Over the next 40 years, it will probably be a billion dollar industry!

Well, I have 5 tattoos and ten snakes (plus eight geckos)

It's hard to say which is more addictive, since I've been obsessed with both for my entire life...

The upside of tattoos is that you can take them EVERYWHERE with you!

Fortysomething snakes as opposed to 3 tattoos, the last of which I got over 10 years ago. Hmm....

I've a one-of-a-kind tattoo but, how could any nature lover put "addiction" to body art before dedication to any form of wildlife? Just seems kinda shallow in the larger scheme of reality.
