If Bush were still in office he’d have one of those teardrop tattoos.

The one tattoo I have. In case you were curious. PS. This photo is from 2005, during my regrettable “douchy chinstrap beard” period.

I Will Get This Tattoo I’ve been wanting to get another tattoo for a while. I have one already, as seen in this photo, but I’ve wanted to get another of my family crest for some time. My family crest, that of Clan Cameron, looks like the picture on the left. It’s a bundle of arrows representing the merging of several sects that created the clan, with the phrase “Aonaibh ri Cheile” (pronounced YOO-nive ree KAY-la) which is Gaelic for “Let us unite,” the clan motto and battle cry. I’ve been working on my own design (seen on the right) that places the badge over the family coat of arms with a banner below with “CAMERON” written across it. I really want this tattoo. I’ll get it someday. But what’s crazy is this… The picture above on the left is a tattoo drawn by an artist at a parlor called Bizarre Ink located in Edinburgh, Scotland. It just so happens I’m going to Edinburgh tomorrow.  The kind of work my tattoo would require would take too much time than I have to give in my brief stay, but I believe I’ve been inspired to make this the place I get my tattoo. Some day. Because not only is this a true Scottish parlor, and not only has it tattoo’d my family’s crest before - it’s also just happens to be literally a stones throw from the hostel I’m staying at Friday night. That’s some crazy aligning of stars shit right there. I just happen to research tattoos, and happen to find a great example, it happens to be in the city, nay the same street I’m staying on this weekend. Absolutely crazy. It would be awesome if I could hop in there and get a tattoo at the drop of a hat, but this kind of thing takes a little planning for me. I need to perfect the design before I commit to the ink, but one day I’ll do it. I feel like I should at least stop in there and see the shop, ask about pricing and see how hard it is to get an appointment. Maybe even show them my design. Before I eventually leave Europe I need to plan a trip back to Edinburgh to get this tattoo. I need to make it happen, and by golly, it will be at this shop in Scotland! How badass would that be? What a story.
