Addendum to Tattoo Post

In order to answer Kim's questions.

What do they [the parentals' tats] signify?

The simple answer for Mom's -- I have no clue. I know she wanted the faery's face to be "hidden" because her chosen artist admitted he is no good at faces.

As for Dad's, my take on it is that it's a combo of his two interests -- the Old West and our family's Lakota heritage. Note the stars on the band. Those look like Texas Ranger badges, and Dad reads/watches anything related to them. Buffalo skulls are used in a lot of Old West and Native American art and such (Dad also has a large buffafo skull window decal on his truck topper's back window). The feather's pretty obvious now, eh?


And more importantly, when are you getting yours???

I think I'm going to talk to the guy when I go home for Christmas. I have ideas for two tats. One tat (known placement) is my envisioned combination of two of my known heritages: Lakota and Celtic/Scottish. The other tat (unknown placement) will be representations of my sister and brother.
