Show us your ink

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!!

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.

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.

AGREED! Any responsible artiest will not tattoo you if your drunk. Drinking thins your blood causing more bleeding. Excessive bleeding can push out the ink.
