nah go the whole hog and have it done really large across your back. There's too much to fit on a calf. It's got to be in proportion to the canvas, that should be the first rule about tattoos. Go on you know you want to...

Hob, thanks for the offer, when I crack and definitely say yes to myself, I'll get in touch! Will be better than blowing up and inking myself...
Rhiannon, Hmmm maybe! :)
To be honest I'd like the the line running down the centre of the motif, down the front of my shin and then bend the two sides around my calf to meet at the back.
I'd quite like to keep my back clear so I can possibly get a life size inverted hand silhouette dead centre. Just like one of the ones at Peche Merle ideally, though I'm not sure how attainable the spit effect is...

ah clever with the line. I can see just what you mean now. That would be pretty cool.
And I reckon, if you got someone who really knew what they were doing, the spit effect would be eminently possible? It'll give you the excuse to go one of those big tattoo conventions and seek someone out who's got that kind of style, there must be someone. Now that'd be fun.
(sorry. Probably going to get told off in a minute for diverting the thread. I'll get my coat)

Leaving Avebury and its associated monuments out (too close to home) my other choices are:
First Choice: By far and away has to be the Ring of Brodgar. Last summer I made the long and tiring journey to the north of Scotland then over to Orkney. Something inexplicable happened when I walked up to the circle - perhaps a combination of the midsummer light and the crystal clear air, the experience was everything I had hoped it would be and I definitely plan to go back.
The Ring of Brodgar
Second choice: The King’s Quoit, Manorbier in Pembrokeshire.
Visited a few months ago and just loved the walk up the cliff path to a fairly small portal tomb overlooking the sea towards Ireland. An exquisite spot, even in the rain.
King's Quoit, Manorbier
Third choice: Aghnacliff in County Longford, Ireland. Home of my maternal grandparents. Haven’t visited yet but it feels as though I must.

OK, all my UK ones which I was finding it incredibly difficult to chose between have been nominated anyway, so I decided to make it easier for meself and go for 3 must-sees in Europe (that I've been to so far).
In no particular order:
Grand Menhir Brise in Brittany - & the other monuments it's right beside ;^) http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/10017/grand_menhir_brise.html
The Lindeskov complex in Denmark (Fyn) http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/9961/lindeskov.html
And Torralba d'en Salort in Menorca http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/9999/torralba_den_salort.html
I've cheated a bit coz they're all 'complexes' but was still difficult to go for only three!!! So I've deliberately chosen 3 from different countries. Luckily Jane has already mentioned the Sardinian one I'd have probably gone for....
I'm still gutted to not be able to include any Carnac alignements, any hunebedden from the Netherlands http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/9820/netherlands.html or the Jordanian dolmen field http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/40394/weblog/ which blew my mind (not eligible for TMA at the mo).
When I was looking to choose one in Denmark, this one nearly made it when I happened across the photo!

1. Ardgroom Outward
Number one spot, just for the spectacular views.
http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/1917/ardgroom_outward.html
2. White Moor/Hound Tor
Possibly the most isolated stone circle in England. Number two spot for its seclusion and inaccessibility.
http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/3748/white_moor_stone_circle.html
3. Scorhill
Just because I love it, and because being there makes me happy.
