I have decided I want a fox tattoo. I am thinking across my ribs starting under my right arm and coming around just below my breast. and why a fox, well foxes are cool and this goes double for japanese foxes.

Case in point (and I get that this may be entirely fictitious) but apparently foxes can't pronounce the words moshi moshi, which is how japanses people greet each other when answering the telephone.
I’m not entirely convinced by this explanation. I have heard it in a couple of different places. Foxes, at least in Japanese fairy tales, are super sneaky. They do things like turn into beautiful women, marry you, then screw you over. They steal stuff, they mess with important things, and in general, are pretty tricky. So “Moshi Moshi” is used on the phone when you can't see someone, because it’s difficult for a fox to say and so you can confirm whether or not you’re getting tricked. 

anyway this is all by the by but more importantly the image that will be printed on my skin forever here are some sources I have been working with
