That's right. A DIY Project (actually 4). Well OK, not the tattoo. It was hard enough to take a picture of it (right shoulder blade). Alas, the piercings were done by yours truly. I don't know if that qualifies me as a tough guy or not. (for not passing out)
Tonto (Snowbear),
For your leg, have a good tattoo artist take a look at in to make sure they can cover it. Some scars can't be covered very effectively, and some colors won't look even if they are partly on and partly off. Also, expect a decent amount of pain. The lower leg usually isn't too bad, but with a scar there, you never know.
How do you find a good artist? Ask everyone you know that have tattoos where they went and if they were happy. Also do some research on the net for what to look/ask for in sterilization. Steer clear of any place that doesn't fully impress you with their talent and cleanliness/sterilization.
As far as designs, that's something that is really up to you. Just make sure that whatever you pick, it means something special to you that maybe doesn't make sense or mean quite the same thing to others. That's what makes them mysterious and cool.
Any piercings? or at least any you care to tell us about??
Galina,
