...As I sink deeper into the clutches of addiction....

[Tattoo Bradley]

Sing this in your head with your best whiny Axl rose voice...

We've been wearin the
Different tartans.
Kilts I'm ROCKIN'
Ladies won't LEAVE me ALOOOOOONNNNNE
No, no, no
they won't leave me alone.

HAHAHAHA!!

Wonder if there's a connection between tattoo addiction and kilt addiction?



I've lost count of my kilts...nearly 50 now I think...and two of them are WHITE!...gotta have a "natural" white and a "medical" white....

And.....I have THREE on order...seems routine...the RAF hand sewn and Isle of Skye hand sewn from Kathy Lare and the Warrior casual from USA Kilts...

Oh yeah, and a jacket from Kathy too....

It may be an addiction, but I'm loving the consequences....FUN FUN FUN and FREEEEEDOM!

Yep, I think there may VERY well be a connection to those addicted to tattoos and kilts! Maybe I just have an addictive personality. I've dealt with the kind of addiction that doesn't yield good consequences too. But, I'm too hard-headed to let something rule me, so I kicked those. But the tattoos and kilts?? Nope, I love the consequences of those as well. I know I've mentioned it before. But, that is one SWEET tortoise tattoo on your back there. I'm probably venturing off topic here, but I found this picture over on my organic stretched earlobe jewelry makers site. I figured this would give a bit better perspective of my tattoo addiction, as it gives a clear shot of part of my neck and under my chin (something that my kilt photos have not provided.)

[Jimmy the Celt]

Ah, kilting is a wonderful addiction! I can hardly wait to get out of this financial crunch; there are three USAK casuals I plan on ordering as soon as finances allow.

[Riverkilt]

You're a braver man than I to do your neck...

My sea turtle took eight sittings and twenty hours...but no way do I think I could take the most delicious pain of neckwork...

White kilts are hard to find these days, but keep your eye out, they're great for setting off tattoos...as are the black ones.



More kilts brother Brad, more kilts...you need more kilts...kilts, kilts, kilts...gotta have more kilts. Tats and kilts, tats and kilts, tats and kilts...more tats, more kilts...

I wish I could get away with having more tats like that but due to work I cant. I had to stop my lobes at 5/8th and get enough crap from these rednecks around here about my 8 gauge labret.

YES I DO! I need much more of both. If I remember right I looked at that medical white one on their scratch and dent list. I think the waist was ok for where I wanted to wear it. But, the length didn't work for me. I certainly need a white kilt though. As far as the black kilt. I've been really looking at TFCK's low-rider black worsted wool. I saw one on Ebay not too long ago. I'm still kicking myself for not bidding on it. D'oh!

To be honest with you, what I've done to myself took many many many... MANY nights of restlessness and deliberation with myself. It all boiled down to, I was not going to be happy unless I proceeded with each step I had decided on. First it was tattoos below the elbow. Then it was the hands. Then it was the neck. Then under the chin. The ears just seemed to get bigger and bigger and before I knew it... BAM! They were 1.5"!!! haha.

But, I worried and worried about what the overly-visible tattoos and gigantic ears were going to do for my future (jobwise.) I've honestly never had a problem getting a job. I walk in with my head high, and confident. Of course, I've never applied at a place that's obviously going to freak out on me. But, I'm now a laboratory manager for a HUGE international company. I'm certainly not saying you should run out and tattoo your throat. No no. But, I'm simply saying that all things can be overcome. It's all in what your priorities are.

Tattooo's don't do it for me I'am afaid, but kilts--bring them on

[MacTavishOfJapan]

Good luck with the addiction Bradley although I think you're fighting a losing battle.

[McClef]

I don't think there is any connection myself.

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