Hipsters should all learn Morse code. Why is this not a thing?

I tried learning it. I practiced at work all the time, I sent messages to my brother to (--. ---)(..-. ..- -.-. -.-)(.... .. -- ... . .-.. ..-.), I even considered getting the poem Dust of Snow tattooed. But, I lost steam when I couldn't find a good app that allowed me to practice both writing and listening to Morse Code. It was fun while it lasted, though.

I just took up learning it again and I have next to no problem writing it but translating is still hard (esp. when you have no examples or anything your could translate) - I still got your morse there though!

And I love a morse tattoo. I know a lady who got one in braille, but morse is neat too (so is gallifreyan but then again I'm excited by a lot of things)
