I've got tats on both biceps. My first, an eagle, was done at Lou's Tattoos (Hay St., Fayetteville, NC) in 1982. Since then, Hay St. has become civilized. No more strip clubs and tattoo parlors.  Five years ago, I had the eagle covered up with a 9/11 tribute tattoo. It's a firefighter thing. I've got the twin towers, crossed American flags, an awesome eagle, and "343 Heroes" inscribed on a helmet shield. The bottom banner states, "Gone but Not Forgotten". I didn't like having to sit for 2 different sessions, but it was worth it. Gotta give Chris Shackleford a "shout out" for basically doing my tat for free.

 On my left bicep there's a dragon that I had done in 1985 at Sailor Jack's. There's no story about the dragon. I just liked it.

 I saw a punk rock guy on the metro in Madrid, Spain. He had a dotted lines tattooed across the front of his neck. Like this:
           - - - - - - - - - -
It said, "Cut Here".

hi CB,
that sounds like a really intricate & cool tattoo (9/11 tribute) 8)

i've found that touch-ups seem to be felt a little bit more that when
the ink originally goes on, along with outlines then color-fill/shading -
a friend had one covered over & the new one was a strat, which changed shape
depending on if his muscles were tensed - strat, explorer, strat, explorer ;)


it's not about what you play,
it's all about why you play ...

I don't have any. I'm just not sure there's anything I'd want to commit to my body forever.

If I ever got one, it would probably be a heart with an arrow through it, with a banner that says either "Mom" or my daughter's name.

And, when I get one, I'll get it done at my buddy Lynk's shop in Mississauga, Ontario: http://www.lighthousetattoos.com/home.html

Yes, have a few.

On both of my upper arms , don't have photos,  dragon and warrior on one side, double headed dragon armband breathing flame that is stars and stripes, wraps around the eagle head and eagle talon with tribal   sounds busy but the artist tied it all in very well.

I do wish to get one or two more but just trying to find the time to go and my artist moved an hour away.
Guitars? Yes still have them
If I'm not here....... I am somewhere else

That is my speed as well sachi.

Most memorable tattoo is the one from the movie Pappion in 1973, with the man that sold the boat to them(I think) and had a tattoo on his entire face.

I joke that our motorcycle club is so tough that we have "iron-on" tattoos.

Have you ever seen the movie, "The Illustrated Man"?  It was written by Ray Bradbury and starred Rod Steiger and Claire Bloom.  Here is a link to it.  You may not want a whole body tattoo after seeing this movie.

I read the book. Wouldn't want one like that, especially from the witch.
