If you had to get a tattoo right now, what would it be and why?

If you had to get a tattoo right now, what would it be and why?
I have never wanted a tattoo. Needles aside, I have always felt a quiet suspicion toward the idea of putting something permanent on my body before I was sure I would still believe in it ten years later. But the question is not “do you want a tattoo.” It is “if you had to.” And that small shift changes everything, because it forces me to ask what I actually believe deserves to be permanent.
I thought about a stethoscope, small and looping around the wrist, a nod to medicine and the life I am building at UNIBEN. I thought about a key, for King David Properties, for the doors I hope to keep opening for people who have been shut out of honest transactions. I thought about a pen, for the writer in me who cannot stop returning to blank pages no matter how full the rest of my life gets. All of them true. None of them big enough.
If I had to choose right now, I would get a single word in a script only I could read comfortably: Ebenezer. “Thus far the Lord has helped us.” Not a symbol of one calling, but of all of them at once. Medicine, the foundation, the comedy channel, the properties business, the novel I am still wrestling into shape, the students I mentor, the setbacks that felt final and were not, the doors that opened when I had no leverage to open them myself, they all sit under that one word. It would not describe what I do. It would describe how I got here, and Who I am trusting to keep doing it.
I think that is really what this question is asking. Not what image you like enough to wear forever, but what truth you trust enough to wear forever. Everything else, the stethoscope, the key, the pen, is downstream of that one word. So if the needle had to touch my skin today, it would not draw a picture of my life. It would write down the reason my life keeps moving forward at all.
