My next tats are going to be copies of cave paintings, maybe a neanderthal profile and possibly one of Ishi.  I have so many that it really does not matter what they are as long as they fit into the empty spaces available. For a while while my wife was getting back into it I would go through a Hopi art/jewelry book that I have and just pick a design or pic I liked and that would be the tat for the day. I still like them all. I do have one though, on my upper thigh of a girl. My sons' have seen it their whole lives, but just lately, 9 and 6 now, they are commenting on her lack of cloths.  :-[  hehehe.   ;), dp

My one tattoo took me from age 16-19 to design and commit to.  Anything else will be at least a year in the making before the needle touches my skin.
Will it incorporate an arrowhead?  Probably...  More likely something simple and primitive.

I'd like to get a tattoo for my welsh heritage, something archery related would be cool. Maybe like a welsh flag, I don't know. My dads dead, he was Welsh and Irish and of smidgen of Cherokee, I really don't got no blood family (that I talk to anyway), so it would be a nice reminder, etc. I already got a 3 leaf clover for my irish in me. Which I was gonna get covered up, as every time I go to jail people treat it as an AB tattoo, which I am NOT (actually I am an ex-punker, which I guess is the opposite,  :) ). I also got a Rastafarian flag on my leg. But I never got it colored in. It is the Rastafarian flag with the star of David (I was in love with sublime at the time  8) ), but because it is not colored in, it looks exactly like the Jewish flag, which I am not Jewish or Rastafarian, LOL. But it's all good I guess.  :)

By some terrible dark force,
I was failing my World History course.
When in a part of town quite shady
I met what you would generously call...a Lady.

She stood beneath her crimson lamp
And appeared to be a bit of a vamp.
I thought perhaps I would shake my gloom,
So I followed her upstairs to her room.

And there I did receive a terrible fright!
She started teaching me World History by sight!
Tattoos of World Wars One and Two,
Battleships, and maps of lost civilizations, too!

World History I did no longer fail
After learning from dear Lydia by sight....

And by Braille!

This is one of four,and most people do not even notice it. It is a Caborn Welborn pottery design I took off of pottery found in sites here within a few miles of my home. The photo was taken at Moundsville Alabama about 450 miles from where I live. I did the dot pattern myself the old fashioned way (do not try it) It is my favorite of the ones I have and the only one visible at all times.

 ;D 64 times around this planet and never had a tattoo. Suppose now that the end is getting nearer, might just try one. Can't decide between women, beer, or archery.

A Hopi symbol that would make a nice tattoo would be one of Tawa.  I have one of a Hopi raincloud.

On ancient tattoos, refer to photos of the Ice Man of Pazyryk. I have a copy of one of his on my right arm.

'I have a copy of one of his on my right arm.' I've wanted one of those myself. I can never find pics of the whole tats he had, just pieces of them. You know of a site that has these tats in full drawing?

I found a book at the public library that actually had the tattoos stencilled in it. Just ran a photocopy and took it to the artist. There are some good photos of them online.
