this is the only fairly decent picture i can find of mine, on this computer. but its on my right pectoral muscle, its the Celtic tree of life. with the back ground filled in with black. i have plans for about 3-4 more; all animals that i have worked with/protected in my various conservation jobs. i chose this be cause i am very much a 'natural' guy and i love all things living and wild and green and you name it, interesting fact, the girl n the left of the picture has the same tattoo but a bit smaller and hers has the branches filled in instead of the back ground like mine. the girls are 2 of my good friends from college from one of the times wee went swimming (the water was freezing! but it was September in Vermont!)

Modified celtic knot of dolphin and hound my son designed for me almost six years ago and done then. Decided to add the thistle wreath above it last year. Since this picture have had a wee touch-up to pump more color in spots and looks even better.

Glad I did it!!

AWESOME!!! What is the significance of his shield? If I were brave enough (and if tats were allowed in my religion. I got mine before I converted. lol. Yessss!) I would totally get something like this (but I would go for the kick ***, yet totally feminine Celtic woman version). The historical war nerd in me loves anything and everything with capes, sheilds, fur pelts, big barbaric hairy dudes...and anything with magic in it is the cherry on top.

Meghan,
All us big barbaric hairy dudes are magic, if we are in a kilt!

Wait, did I say that out loud?

I guess I should add myself to this. I have been getting tattoos since 1956. My first 50 or so were all "Navy" designs. After that I branched out into other designs. As you can see in the pic, if you look closely, every area of exposed skin has a tattoo. Now when I go to get another one it is a case of finding something that will fit the area, or designing something to fit. They are almost as addictive as kilts.

Bahahaha too true.

I got this a few weeks ago.

For whatever reason, trying to understand why anyone would want a tattoo is like trying to get our Scottish Terrier to understand differential calculus.

Ah, Fraser of Lovat; I know it from my favorite book. "Outlander By Diana Gabaldon".

Sorry,
Everyone in my family has one.
My brother is a tatoo artist.

I know what it would be (Marine Corps emblem on my left deltoid)

I've just never been drunk enough.

don't be drunk, go in cold stone sober, it is the only way to get a tattoo and I bet your brother will tell you so also.
