The clothing of Kings always enhanced their status, and no commoner could hope to wear something so sumptuous as this intricate chain of knotwork. Once embroidered on the robe of a King, now it can be a tattoo armband forever on the arm of a member of our free democratic society.

A Scottish dirk, (also "Highland dirk", Scottish Gaelic: Biodag), is a symbolic traditional and ceremonial weapon of the Highland Cathairean (cateran or warrior), worn by officers, pipers and drummers of Scottish Highland regiments. For this police officer we incorporated a Luckenbooth, in honor of his love for his wife, and a thistle as the jewel at the top.

A spiky black dragon from back in the day when tribal was all the rage.
My own first tattoo was a koi in exactly this placement, so I'm always pleased to have an opportunity to put one on a client with identical good taste.
