was considering carrying the "colour" idea a step farther ... want to get some 
tattoo work done sometime soon, and was thinking of working the colour issue 
into the design ... and increase them down the road as is appropriate.

if memory serves, a warrior / crafter is a two color allocation, right?  ... 
was thinking black and a blue (greenish) as a good base and appropriate for 
"tribal" style work.

question ... how many work their tattoo work into their personas / realities 
???  know a couple from the "old days", but haven't run into any in the current 
days ... any good references on ancient tattoo practices ???
