I was feeling inspired after my most recent conference trip, so got this done while visiting Sho in Tucson. It is the Americanist symbol for an ejective lateral affricate. I would love to post a sound file to demonstrate what this sounds like, but I cannot find one. Because it is SO RARE.
Here 'tis! I have wanted this tattoo for like, um, seven years. When I was in Finland, I took a trip to the Arctic Circle and was given a Lappish name in a horribly tacky tourist ceremony--namely, Bear: "Sä oot ihan karhun näköinen!" (You look like a bear!) I was told. So the middle bit is a Lappish-themed bear; the outside is a Lappish-themed sun (top half) and moon (bottom half).
