    Not a Regimental Crest but I do have a sgian dubh on my right calf. It's my most commented on tattoo. A security screener at Glasgow airport really liked it. When asked, I tell people it's for times when it is socially unacceptable to be armed I'm at least symbolically armed. They seem to appreciate that reason. Here is the pic.
