    Interesting. I wonder why the Hebrew letter Aleph on the design?

    I agree that the knife piercing the skin is pretty gross. The idea of getting a sgian tattoo is kind of cool though!

    Here are some other designs I found in Google Images:

    - An t'arm breac dearg

    Well from the bladesmith point of view, it is a poor second to a real knife.

    I'd like the tattoo better if the cut was more realistic, and less dramatic. Were the knife sharp, it (the cut) would not look like that, all ragged and ugly. Looks a little "comic book" to me.

    But we all have different taste, eh ?

    It's cool and all, but I agree. Also, it looks to be "in" backwards... you know- with the blade facing forward.
