Tattoos

Something I've had in mind for a tattoo for a long time was an icon for the muzzle of a 1911 and Molōn labe inscribed underneath. Even though I'd been thinking about it for a while, I hadn't gotten off my duff and did anything with it until yesterday. Then I came up with this

I liked it so much that I went out and had it inked on my leg (with the decision to go with the inscription from the monument at Thermopylae rather than this font)

I'm happy with it!

I never imagined that one Sunday morning I would log on and see Robb's shaved leg in my RSS reader.

"Wait.. Is he wearing pants or not?"

Try and get that thought out of your head!

I don't think your dog looks too impressed... :-)

She's just having a hard time adjusting to the new life at the SaaM compound.

Apparently her previous owners wore pants.

The dog looks pissed. Prolly wondering where his tat is...

I have wanted one for years, but, when you get right down to it, I am too much of a pansy-ass, and the Better Half has already said no.

That, however, looks pretty damned shiny.

Nice!

Y'know, a man who doesn't wear pants'd be able t'show that off a lot...just sayin'.

What? Shorts, maybe even a utilikilt. Whatever else were people thinking?

Then again, it is Robb.

LOVE IT! :-D

I have people ask me all the time, "What does that mean? What language is it in?" I bet you'll have more people asking, "What's the a picture of? Is that an Eskimo?" Heh.

Welcome to the club. :-)

Very nice. I'd be interested at how many people won't recognize the muzzle of a gun (let alone a 1911, with a standard guide rod and bushing). It seems to be a good mix of iconographic and literal. Also REALLY dug the oldschool lettering! Classy!

I'm not inclined to put anything indelible on my skin, but I like it. Should I ever change my mind, that would be in the top 3 as far as indelible markings which could identify my carcass.

Regards,
Rabbit.

It's not an Eskimo, it's a Martian with his space helmet on. Can't you see the antenna on top?

I'm with Rabbit. That tat's a winner.
