Well I will come over (at no expense) and do you a tattoo with my bushcraft knife if you like, so it would be done in true bushcraft style.............. 
Or, why not go the whole hog, like Tom Leppard of Skye?
Now, thats really Bushcrafty , with the additional benefit of keeping cold callers at an absolute minimum.

There's a bloke in my local watering hole thats covered in tattoos. I always thought he should have a big one saying " 01 Carbon" , which is bushcrafty, so everyone knows what sort of a tool they're looking at!
a tattoo is a very personal thing and you should if you have a good artist be able to come up with any thing you like. so you imagination is the limit i have 2 none of them relate to bush craft. you need to bear in mind that when there it never comes off so if there is any doubt in your mind dont get it but if you are looking for a good artist try asking hear but be warned if you dont ask nice they will tear you apart lol

You mean something like this:
This is one I had done several years ago, only have two with the other being a dragon, but quite fond of this one. One bit of advice I was given was that if you're going to have one done have a decent one, saves having to have it touched up later or covered up.
my tattoo is the same as my logo/avatar, I'd agree go for something meaningful/personal to you. Take your time, get a reccommended artist and see some of their work. Take your artwork along and discuss it.
If you really get into it, go for sometihng that can be added to in later months/years.
BTW is there such a thing as a useful tattoo? Mine was decoration and a long held desire to get one.
Is there some image or info that would be decorative and useful, that a person could get tatted on?

What about something that could help save you and if that fails, help others...

Runic symbols are nice and have nice meanings. Something called Freya's eight or somthin like that have nice meanings. Only thing is with this kind of symbology is that previously some runic symbols were twisted and soiled by the nazis and they look kinda 'swastika-ish' too - I remember in year 9 I put a shelter one on my English language book and my head teahcer went a bit spare......stupid old bird.

Inuit women *sew* the tattoos under the skin using a needle and sinew thread that has been dragged through soot. There are mummies of at least 1600 years old that show this technique.

Don't know if it'd hurt less than a bush knife though

p.s. I reckon our ancestral tattoos had something to do with the fact that woad is actually a good antibactericide adn antibiotic.

Was talking to a couple of paramedic's at the weekend, they ignore all tattoo's, badges etc with blood group on, as only a proper test can confirm the type.
*** ON TOPIC ***
Think long and hard when getting a tattoo, it's there for a long time
How about some Oak leaves and acorns ???
Have W on one cheek and W on the other, when people ask to see your tattoo
they will always sound impressed, because when you bend over they
say "WOW"
