Another Tattoo?

Hi Mrsc - how about a Luckenbooth design. This is what the OH and I had the front of our wedding invitations.

A closed wallet?

With padlock!

Stereotyping at it very best - racist at it's worst. Good job we can laugh at ourselves.

Indeed it is Rat. My Dads a Scot
(also the most generous man on the planet but dont tell him I said so)

Sorry Rat no offence intended. I should know better.

Hey BW, none taken - anyway, we all know it's only Aberdonians who have deep pockets and short arms
ONLY JOKING !!
The only statement or rather, name, that is sometimes used for Scots that I really do take offence at is "Sweaty" as in Sweaty sock = Jock. Then I get mad
Other than that, fire at will - after thirteen years in London in Law Enforcement, I think I've heard them all

I've seen this woman in Edinburgh on quite a few occassions - not just at Festival time either.

And those who live on Mearns Street are the tightest of them all.

Nearly turned to stone looking at that the Gorgon is alive & well & living in Edinburgh.

Hello all,

Yes I have a tattoo, quite small and was looking at getting another one (hidden from public view of course) not too big and on a Scottish theme. Any suggestions?

I just wonder............are you Scottish MrsC?

Not that it matters..........a common tatto theme is having names or sayings in Chinese or Japanese for some reason!

Hi Snadger

No I'm not but Mr C is, a Glasgow boy. Although my Grandad's family (Mums side) were. The Luckenbooth history is quite nice though with links to where we were married.

I've always fancied having an eithiopian tattoo, like the suri or nyangatom. Its where they lift the skin with a thorn and make little incisions. The skin heals over with a lump. I'll see if I can find a picci.

Here's an example
