Yours sounds pretty large and complex. Where are you getting it?

LOL! I totally forgot to mention where the tattoo will go! I'm having it done in a band at the mid point of my left calf. The shield will also have a band of protection (a series of downward pointing black triangles) under a tapa inspired band that will connect in the back of my calf with the Ni'ihau tapa symbol for a honu.

Yes, it will be a large tattoo, so it will have a lot of impact when I wear shorts. And I do wear shorts very often!
