    My new tattoo

    As a birthday present from my wife, I got my first tattoo. I gave her a matching one for Christmas. The colors are different. I brought our tattoo artist (Chris) bunch of pictures of sgian dubh that I liked he came up with this image. I describe is kind of a urban sgian dubh. My wife asked for Xs in the handel (to represent my son X) and colored hers lavender (to represent my daughter). I did mine in blue (for my wife, son and daughter's eyes).

    Great ink! Doesn't look like your spouse's will show out of the top of kilt hose, though...
