My wonderful kids had this done for me for my 40th birthday tomorrow.
My son designed and drew it up as he is at college and doesn't earn any money and my daughters paid for it between them.

Just an insight into it........ The elephant represents my eldest daughter Elli as she has a thing for elephants.
The wolf represents my youngest daughter Lauren as she has a thing for wolves.
The tiger represents my son Michael ........ three guesses why? :D
The spider represents my wife Sarah......... Any ideas Why??
The Scorpion represents me......... As I am a scorpio :D

So, After 5 hours of needle work, this is what I now have on my outer calf on my right leg.............................................

lol thanks Stuart.

I am chuffed to bits with it. I had wanted something to represent them all but I didn't want the run of the mill list of names type thing so this is what they came up with. definitely worth the 5 hours of pain :D

A very belated Happy Birthday Nick, very impressive art work but perhaps a little to much pain for me
