Leg Tattoos to go with a Kilt

[Riverkilt]

Looking at the new pic of Highlandtide and Miah, Miah's tats got me to remembering something I've been pondering a while.

I want my next tattoos to be leg tattoos on my calfs where they'd show between a kilt and my shoe/boot tops. Want them to be symbolic of my Viking/Scot heritage.

My choice of tats is sort of "spot" tattoos in diffent areas, rather than a sleeve (have 11 so far, but that's another addiction).

So, I'm in the process of looking for ideas both for design and placement. Have thought about things like swords, clan badges, and thistles.

Just thought I'd ask if anyone had any experience or ideas along this line...I'm guessing a lot of folks on this board have tats.

Hey, you need to contact Rocky to get a pic of his family crest tatoo. It's very cool, and quite appropriate.

I've seen crests, celtic crosses, celtic knotwork, and (no joke) one guys that has a fairy "servicing" a leprechaun. I guess that pretty well runs the gamit?!

I, myself, will stick to cuts and bruises from hockey games.

I am a huge fan of Maori style tattoos. Here is one artists page with many fine examples. If I had the cash, I would be flying to where ever he is working at the time and having some work done. Some really beutiful pieces, and all with a special meaning.
