DALE.
Hello there!
They're actually three Pictish symbols and a simple triskelion.
The Pictish symbols are a Boar, a Deer and a Fish. I'm an avid fly-sisher and I don't eat meat unless I have raised or hunted it myself or can ensure that someone else has done so with the greatest care and respect for the animal.
My family are originally from the far North of Scotland for as far back as we can trace, and it's very likely we have a good bit of Pict in us, so I've always been fascinated with their history and art.
The tattoos were kind of a visual confirmation for me of my values, heritage and the triskelion was a nice finish to my beliefs in things being a circle.
I am originally from Scotland and met my fiance while she was studying here on a scholarship. I love Scotland, but it seems like America would be the best place for us to settle.
I still plan to visit every year, though. It'll never stop being my home.
Here's an idea of how the tattoos look.
