Interesting you mention that. Members of some military force groups report the same for their recruits- a tattoo being a somewhat reliable indicator of someone who will wash out of training.

At one of the chapters where I was active, a tattoo was fairly common just above the ankle (and it was a college thing really- other fraternities there had the same tradition.) At the other, few got them.

But there was no significant pressure about it. Good thing since this is a pretty big prohibition for Jews and most of the Christian denominations on religious grounds.

To each his own, however. I will tell you Rath that while I would never consider a tattoo for myself, yours looks pretty awesome. How long did that take to apply? The wood finish appearance is especially well done.
