I did a similar thing when I was twenty. I got a bird on each forearm, just as my Grandad had, just so that I'd have something impossible to lose to remind me of him when he passed away, and they are very nice. Most tattoos are tacky and quite off-putting, but a good old forearm tattoo can be as very nice decoration. I should imagine the logo for the slig barracks would be particularly interesting.
that sounds smashing, i really like the meaning of it, too. with that logo, i may have it in black & white. as you said, tattoos can look tacky, and colour can be a big contributor to that outcome. i can vouch for certain colours looking terrible on skin, unless its really cleverly/skilfully worked.
