His _actual_ suggestion was that the tattoo be placed on the buttocks
of the infected person, in the rather strange belief that anyone who
planned to have sex with him or her would naturally view the warning.
What do you think would be "invisible"? Tattoos by definition are
visible. What if he had advocated a tattoo on the forehead, like the
Mark of Cain?

Also, his suggestion re: buttocks neglected another important part
of the body often used in homosexual encounters. One wonders how
liberal might have been his education in these matters.
I am given to understand that tattooing that part would be -- would
not be -- would...uh, well, would not be without anguish -- though I
understand it IS done. Also wearing a ring through it.
Wearing rings through important parts of the body has always
bemused me. Tongues? Genitalia? Don't these decorations
interfere with operations? Or do they enhance them?

Tattooing is normally done with ink, not with HIV.

The original statement was ambiguous. Tattooing somebody
with HIV, regardless of your definition of tattoos, would indeed
most likely be invisible. :-)
