Does anybody have any tattoos?

[SMan]

Like Sachi I have no tats but lots of scars.

Just had my first one today.

I think I might be having a mid-life crisis

I was going to get a couple of Japanese style tatoos when my wife suggested I grow my hair out and wear the pony tail I'd been wanting to grow. Mid life solved.

Well, if you're like everyone else I know who has tats, you are in for it now, because they are addictive and just like lay's potato chips...you can't have just one!!!

[dcarey]

Nice work but... one of the grossest I've seen...

Well I've got to have at least one more, to complete the meaning of my first one.

I'll be going for this in the Spring as part of my kite club.
Kaze   the Wind   Of course, my nephew will do it!

I have this one.





But only on my computer. That's sufficient for me.

Whenever I hear discussion of tattoos, this verse from a song by Christine Lavin always comes to mind.

"Just a tiny tattoo, mother
dancing on my skin
all the other kids have one
and I want to fit in
a delicate butterfly
right here on my wrist?"
Her mother thought about it, then she said this

"hmmm, a tattoo . . .

That's a permanent reminder
of a temporary feeling
think 'Angelina & Billy Bob'
before you hit the ceiling
you think a tattoo on your teenage skin
would make you look unique
but when you're older
you'd look like a circus freak!"

The song is entitled, "Sometimes Mother Really Does Know Best."

[Iplay2]

I have a few.  Here are my music related ones:

Left arm



Right arm is a work in progress, and will probably never be fully finished.

[BigSkyTaylorPlayer]

Those are nice Iplay2, does the same artist do the ones on your right arm?

No, it has been 2 different guys, and i have another guy that I am going to have do a lot of fill in on it.  Its weird, but I have never had they same artist do two tattoos?  No idea why.

Hey Michael, post a pick of that tattoo if you can, the chords sound really cool.

I am seriously thinking about this, just not sure how to pick a shop and such.  I'm still thinking koa uke or the back of my koa guitar like you did.

hi TP516,
i was finally able to get a pic of the guitar/chords (tabs, actually)

it's not the greatest pic, but the area that's most important (to me) is still pretty clear

 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".

Did anyone else watch last night's episode of NCIS: Los Angeles? The female team member had to go undercover, and the perp liked women with tattoos. They made her up to look like she had real tattoos...it was the most artistic display I've ever seen in tattoos (even though they weren't real). One went across her upper back, around one shoulder, and down that arm. Then it was picked up on the leg on the same side. It was all a design--not individual tattoos.

Although it would be expensive to duplicate, I could see that style becoming popular.
