I know ask memes don't work great in this medium, but this is too cool to give up.

Become catgirl! Or cat person of some other gender if you prefer

[contrarianarchon]

Sure

Given magical flesh-shaping (I am sufficiently phobic of surgery/artifacts of surgery that this is a qualifier for every answer here. Ironic for a transhumanist, but it is what it is), I don't really care about gender (I guess catgirl is both the aesthetic and more archetypal, so lets go with that.), and I don't really have a strong desire to be a cat-person, but also, like, no objection? I don't really get the appeal, is all. Small minus for having to look like "a weeb" in real life (that's not exactly what I mean, but I def know a fair few people who would look down on me for being the kind of person who would choose to be a catgirl. And people who would think it was a good decision for reasons I don't really like. They can go fuck themselves, for the most part, but it'd make social interaction with those circles exhausting. Well, more exhausting than it already is), but I wear homestuck t-shirts, so w/e, still makes going to nice restaurants a little hard. If you take catgirl to include "anime-grade pretty" then that'd be enough of a plus to knock it up a notch?

Glowing tattoos.

(the glowing pauses if you have your eyes closed for more than five straight seconds, to avoid sleeping issues)

Urgh, dreamwidth ate my longer post, so short version.

Tattoos specifically are something that has been ingrained as a bad idea - if I can switch them off and that means they become not at all visible, then this seems sure but otherwise Rather not. Also, I don't have any ideas for actual content of the tattoos so it's probably not something to go for unless I do.

I use Typio Form Recovery on Chrome and Textarea Cache on Firefox. Highly recommended.

Sounds useful. I'll consider it.

A personal flight suite (lift, propulsion, stabilizers, etc.)?

[contrarianarchon]

Rather Not

Flying would be nice, but I can't think of a decent way to do it using, like, modern-engineering, that wouldn't be horrifically more high-energy and space-consuming than reasonable. If we're talking far-future Clark-tech telekinetic flight or something, then yes.
