got a tattoo?

[Urchurdan]

I have a few Scottish themed tattoos that may be of some interest, excuse the poor quality pics, I got the good lady to take them before I go to work.

Both forearms and hands

right forearm, celtic eagles on arm, celtic star on hand, celtic bracelet with black saltire round wrist and thistle ring on middle finger

Left forearm with celtic lions on forearm, and celtic star on hand. Orobourus bracelet round wrist (a snake eating itself - Egyptian symbol used by Jacobites)

Left upper arm, Urquhart Clansman badge, Saltire and Old Glory with wifes and my name above flag, and two Nations one love between poles (I am Scottish, she is American)

Right upper arm, Caledonia above a thistle tat, and what we call a Scottish Dog Rose, another Jacobite Emblem that lead to the white cockade, it has 1745 in the middle. (Do you recognize it New Guise? I was going to ask if your aviator was a tat.)

My left leg, below kilt hose level, this was done in the States.

My right leg, a sgian dubh - it is behind another version of the Urquhart clansman badge, it is 'strapped' to my leg. I have a small collection of sgianan dubh, about 40, but I rarely wear one, this is my usual one.

And thats it for now, I design most of my own tattoos, I do them on the PC in 2D, then my tattooist gives them his artistic attention. I am currently working on a chest piece for my FINAL tattoo. Mind you I say that every time. It is a version of a griffin ie half beast half bird. My version is half Rampant Lion, half bald Eagle. Again representing my association with the States. This is the my final draft version, remember it is in 2D, my tattooist is giving it his attention right now, I am getting it done on the 21st of October, what do you think? I will post the tat when it is done.
