I've got a Scottish Luckenbooth on my upper back (will be adding the Clan MacKenzie motto above it very soon), a armband of Maple Leafs, vines, and my son's name on the right arm, and a Moari/Celtic work in progress on my left. Kind quite figure out how to add a picture, so I will leave it at that.
Reeves COA, Crest (dragon's head) and Moto. Got it done with my two brothers and cousin. It took about 3 hours.
Here's what I'm getting on the left, up over the shoulder, when I move home this summer.

I saw an article on the news a couple days ago that said some tattoos (mostly ones with a metallic type of paint) can burn if you get an MRI. I guess the radiation causes it to heat up and burn you. Something to keep in mind. They said to let them know of your tattoos so they can protect them somehow. Ouch!
By the way, OR, I like the picture of all 4 of you with the tattoo. A bunch of good lookin' guys all flexin' with their art. Woo-hoo!

There are muscles in that pic?
Thanks though. It was a lot of fun, and one of the defining days in my life so far. I can't imagine a more bonding experience than one where you bleed with your brothers in celebration of your name. (Jason's mum is my aunt (mothers side), and dad was my Uncle (fathers side), so he's as close to a brother as you can get. The blood's all the same)
Alright I have found a artist to do a 3 inch big Scottish Thistle on my shoulder back and I have been quoted a price of $65 for the Thistle and it being colored. Is that a decent price or too cheap or too high?
May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this. I'm looking to get a tattoo that says"Faith" but i want it in gaelic but i dont' know know gaelic. Maybe someone else could help me out?
Sorry Andie, can't help you, but we have a Gaelic Language Forum and I know WizardofOwls would be able to help you out if no one else can. He'll be more than happy to help you out!
