Irish Tattoo (Was Geographical euphemisms)

[Joyce, Thomas F.]

My daughter (half Irish) and I (full) referred to the inadvertent splotches of sunburn we picked up bicycling around Ireland last summer as "Irish tattoos."  I thought I made up the phrase, but maybe I encountered it somewhere and forgot.  Does anyone know?
