    I <3 bagpipes!

    I really don't know what to say. I don't even know where the heck this should go. Celtic music thread? Miscellaneous thread? I finally decided that I should put it in the humour thread, because I thought it was pretty darned funny... In a weird and twisted sort of way...

    That's an ugly tat, all right... ***EDIT*** I just spent 10 minutes looking at those tattoos... Why would people do some of those to themselves on purpose?

    Wow. At least they got the representation of the pipes correct, though, even if the bass drone's middle section is all the way down on the tuning pin. The only thing missing is the drone cords tying the drones together. They look kinda like Gibson bagpipes, actually.

    I guess it's supposed to represent that piping or pipe music is in their blood?

    I've seen all kinds of 'artistic' representations of the Great Highland pipes that are purportedly correct and authentic, but the configuration would be unplayable.
