Harley Davidson have done a lot with their T-shirts, jackets, hats, belts, shades, cigarette lighters, deodorants, and handbags. And since "Nikon" (or "Canon") is much shorter than "Harley Davidson" you'll have a lot more choice where to put the tattoo. As I imagine would most of us :-) -- Chris Malcolm
