Rottie, I'm Cherokee on my dad's side. We -are- pretty close for complete mutts.
Speaking of family crest tattoos, my brother is getting something very close to this (I can't find the exact one in our geneaology books, I'll have to keep looking for it but this is what I remember it looking like. Steve's doesn't have the "by the name of sprague" on it but rather the banner at the bottom of the crest saying just our last name)
If his turns out, I'm getting it done next year.
