Excellent! Queequeg reborn...!

Just my thoughts, also.

the iceman? For sure. That's totally awesome. Ogham and the symbols on Otzi look sooo similar. In fact, one of his tats has the 4 horizontal lines just like my Saille tattoo. The only difference is he doesn have the vertical line going through it. We almost have identical tattoos

Maybe in a million years they will find my body somewhere in the ground and be like "WOAH! she has crazy Druid tattoos! what could it mean!?" Ive always thought of that.

Lol. In my bellydancing class, we balance these really heavy swords on our heads and, after a long time with them on our heads, they make these horozontal impressions in our scalp (of course they go away after a few minutes) but we were saying how its going to permenently stay on our heads one of these days and our bodies will be found a million years from now and they will think we were some crazy tribal women who ritually indented our skulls. haahha.

Yep, I almost thought you were specifically thinking of calling the iceman to mind with your tattoos, though they are ever so slightly different.

And speaking of becoming an item of archaeological interest, my friend, Crazy George, is forever on about- "Ryan, one day, hundreds or even thousands of years from now, there are going to be people studying your body, saying: 'This guy's from he 21st century, but check out all of these cuts in his bones; they're perfect for five hundred years earlier, but all wrong for his time period... swords just weren't used anymore, by then. Who was this guy?' Then you'll end up as a piece of evidence for some nutjob that's trying to prove that time travel is real."

But hey- Spend enough time around live blades, and you'll certainly get cut; if you don't, you're very possibly doing something wrong... granted, me and mine do train a bit harder (read more dangerously) than your average Joes, but I figure it's better to be prepared. An no one's lost an eye yet. Or a finger.
