I have several (being an ex soldier) on my arms and chest - I am thinking of having a athabaskan bear image (like the one above) tattooed on my chest but whether I'll get round to it is another thing I suppose!!

Uh, disclaimer - If I do try this one ( which is idiotic ) I will be asking a professional tatooist to assist, it takes me 4-6 months to settle on design for the next bit. Kids don't start arsing around with biros and compass needles you'll get badly infected and probably develop a reaction to the ink.

That one place to keep your flying potion recipe where you'll not loose it!
Tis what they do they wont charge you for it eitherKim said:Sounds all a bit too blue peter if you ask me...
tracing paper and glue...
here's one we made earlier!
Kim said:Sound advice.
Also always check the symbol you choose i.e Japanese, really says what it's meant to say. Who wants 'chicken chow mein' on their shoulder,
or the name of their beloved that reads...pot hole...or something.
