    I'm considering a tattoo of a flying squirrel, I have been raising and exhibiting them for about nine years. My online handle (Sciuropterus) is one of the Latin names for them, I have 5 flyers of the Glaucomys Volans variety, hope to get some g. Sabrinus next year.

    Once I get a design I like, I will pin it on the wall and think about it. If I still like it after a year or so, I will take the plunge. I will probably get it on my lower leg, so it will show if I am wearing a kilt.

    For those of you that are thinking about getting one tattoo, be aware that you may as well start trying to determine what your second design is going to be. Colin, you called it, the ink is very addictive.

    Mike and Colin both hit the proverbial nail on the head: Tattoos and kilts can be addictive and creative 'adornments' for the human body, far better and more beneficial than the multitude of self-destructive alternatives out there.

    I'm sure addicted to both kilts and tats.

    Waited until age 59 for my first tat...now have eleven, including a full back tattoo.

    I do so love the endorphins the needle releases. ;-)

    Sadly, I got my tat addiction before my kilt addiction and now there isn't room where I want it for clan crests. I do have a Scottish Heart tattoo over my heart though.

    I have no doubts that you're correct, but I'm still not even sure of the one tattoo I want to get (and that's at least two years away in any case). I know I want to do something to commemorate my (future) Triple Crown, and a tat seems like the best way to do it: understated but permanent.

    If I ever sail single-handed (solo) around Cape Horn, I'm getting a tattoo to commemorate it.

    apropos of nothing, but whatever...LOL

    Nice ink, mate.
