Who wouldn't want a kidney tattoo?!?!?! From the NKF:

"Heart Your Kidneys (HYK) is a new public awareness campaign aimed at elevated the kidneys to the status of other vital organs such as the heart... HYK’s message to the public is to make an explicit commitment to their kidney health through education. We want everyone to learn about the kidney’s vital functions, and what simple lifestyle changes can help reduce the risk for kidney disease"
