    It's all tongue in Cheek.
    I think we're rather referring to the fact that those who DO have both, tend to have them in excess.

    Although, the world's most tattooed man (Lucky Diamond Rich) often wears a kilt.

    There are many tattoed guys who don't wear kilts and many kilted guys who don't wear tattoes.

    Being both a kilt wearer, and heavily tattooed, I don't see much of a connection, but both have taken me on some great adventures in life. I have met some really interesting people, and had some really great times because of either my kilt, or my tattoos.

    I only have two kilts (UK, mocker and workman) and have been in to see my tattooist eight times: (torn, bleeding heart wrapped in barb wire, red-eyed Australian tree frog on bamboo, axanthic (blue) White's tree frog on bamboo, fire-bellied toad on bamboo, big-eyed tree frog, red-phase gold mantella, and a painted mantella on branches, and a dragonfly carrying a gold key above my broken heart - my wife likes dragonflies, and has one tattooed on her back). Don't know what my next kilt(s) will be, but my next four tats are planned: jumping red-eyed treefrog on my left arm (bicep), tiger-striped monkey tree frog climbing a branch on my right arm, a chinese gliding tree frog on either my left shoulder or right chest (if there's room), and a pair of lips on my backside for those annoying moments when I'm kilted and have just heard a comment not worthy of a (verbal) response! Started the tats when I was forty, the kilts last summer at 44 years young.

    I am also a bit late getting started. I had wanted a kilt for 10-15 years and finally made the leap earlier this year. I have also wanted a tattoo for twenty years or so, and just had my first one done last week. A Scottish lion on a German eagle background...looks sweet!
    I now have 4 kilts and I am already designing my second tattoo. So maybe there is some connection.
    I also have an addictive personality, but that is a whole other story.

    At least we have us a fun addiction Scott,

    I wanted a tattoo all my life, but never found a design, a trusted artist, and the funding, all at the same time. It finally came together for me at age 59. Now at 62 I have 12 tats.

    I found the freedom of kilts at age 60....now at age 62 I have around 50...have actually lost count...jeez....

    Also have an addictive core, but became a friend of Bill's in 1989.

    So, you ain't the Lone Ranger.

    My unsolicited advice is ENJOY!! And, its okay if your plastic smoulders a bit, just as long as it doesn't actually burst into flame.
