Yes, my daughter really wanted to get a thistle tattoo with me. We went out for drinks afterwards!
Terry, I was in the regiment for a short time many years ago (early seventies). At that time I don't remember seeing very many tattoos on anyone in the regiment, and never a regimental crest or a calf tattoo. There were a few with forearm tattoos, but that was it. Things may be different now.

Sadly, the article, which was on canadiansoldiers.com, is no longer available.

That's to bad Todd, I would've liked to have read it. My favorite scene in LOTF is when the Highlander kicks the soccer ball out of the trench with flares flying overhead

That's pretty cool. I wasn't getting inked at the time, but went with my nephew as moral encouragement on his inaugural visit 
Yeah, sounds like things might be a wee bit different today (tattoos themselves more popular in all walks of life).

Indeed -- according to the article, quite a bit of WWI material ended up on the cutting room floor. Quite a few members of the Calgary Highlanders ended up in the movie.

Todd,
I didn't want to hijack my own thread, so I posted the deleted scenes video (with the above described scene) in it's own thread:
