Do the symbols mean anything? I've attached a meaning to 'em, but I was wondering if it was already known.

    In fact thinking about it, I've been asked to bring to the tattooist a better image than the photo of Duggro's arm. :D

    Anyone have it?

    Not a problem, the lines could do with being a bit sharper but that shouldn't be too difficult to sort out.

    unless you're joking.. (which I hope you are!) I think this conversation/comment should be saved for PMs.

    Where are you having it done, harmless? I mean are you having it on your arm as well? :o Please tell me it's being done on your arm.

    I haven't been following your tattoo threads, sorry.
