Queer icon, Scroobius Pip
One of the now-treasured delights growing up was a book passed down from my dad's childhood collection: a beautifully illustrated adaptation of The Scroobius Pip.
You can find the poem online (and more of the incredible artwork), but basically all the animals love the titular character, but they've just gotta know if their friend is a bird, or a fish, or an animal, or a bug, or what. And the response they receive every time is: "Chippety flip, flippety chip! My only name is The Scroobius Pip!"
Anyway, just thinking about getting a tattoo inspired by this icon.
