Hi digger,
That is a beautiful tattoo. One of our members from iowa was thinking about getting a tattoo of a martin. If he sees this, it may put him over the top to go ahead and go for it. Thanks for the nice pic.
ImageMite control, heat venting, predator protection and additional feeding during bad weather add up to success.

Bet your glad the artist knew the difference between a martin and a starling. He did a good job with color.

Hey that Martin appears to be banded! Someone set a trap so we can report it.

Nice ink digger; I'm the guy Dave referred to as wanting a martin tattoo. I, too presently have only 1 tattoo (American Goldfinch, state bird of Iowa) on an ankle. Will probably get a martin too if I can drum up the courage. I will place Psalm 84:3 below it.
