Re: Tattoos
Yes and not really. I don't have any pictures anyway.
Mine are both upper arms/shoulders. They show when I wear a tank top. I was caught up in the Harley thing for quite a while. I was cool being the guy with no tattoos for a long time. Then my wife got a big butterfly on her belly she felt she needed. I had no choice but to roll with that. I didn't agree with her reason for getting it. Since I was a biker and my wife had a tattoo, I decided to get some. I don't really regret that, but I do feel it was not me following my own path. They tell a story of a segment of my life. I guess that's what they were originally about

Re: Tattoos
Does the full back "my little kitty" count ? or the chinese writing on my neck that translates to "Turkey sandwhich " ?

Re: Tattoos
Yes, and same is Tim, not really willing to show them.
Mine are both arms, shoulder to back of hand. Flames, skulls, and dragons, typical biker stuff, from the late 80s/early 90s, none of the trendy tribal stuff though.

Re: Tattoos
I don't have any but I've always wanted two old school Sailor Jerry/Flash style pin up girls on me somewhere. One with an Army theme and the other Navy to represent/honor both my grandfathers service. Not sure it'll ever happen now, the wife hates my ear gagues enough, my mother in law would probably file the divorce paper work for her daughter if she found out I had a tattoo.

You wouldn't be very interested in mine. One dot on each hip. They use them to align you on the radiation table when you're getting cancer treatment.

Re: Tattoos
Never got one. I always wanted Chinese dragons on my forearms but never got around to it. Now I'm just too old to try and look cool. Nobody's looking anymore. I could get one on my butt saying "Take it easy' for my proctologist.

Oh, the drama! Never saw the need for tats or "ink" I guess is the cool word for such. Never got any while I was in the military and tattoo shops were always all over around the bases and posts I was stationed at, both Germany and Vietnam. That and I can identify with Palf70step, got enough needles shoved in my arms and backside during my US Army days. Don't like needles at all and only endure such when there is a NEED for one.

Re: Tattoos
I had a couple old ones that I always wanted to get covered up , one on my shoulder blade and one on the top of arm and one on the top of the other arm that will stay and get restored later.
With all the sun and age over the years they looked like a blob of ink. I went and got a new one on the calf and he didn't sound to interested in doing cover ups on the crappy ones so I moved on to another guy that didn't mind taking my money and did excellent work I don't mind showing the 2 cover ups he did. He says that he made me into a tattoo junky ,I'm going back for me |

I don't like getting poked with needles at all. Tattooing doesn't poke you, it pricks you. Big difference, the skin is not pierced. I think the fact that military guys have been the maintainers of the tradition ties to the origins of tattoo art. They were to tell a story, to represent a meaningful life event. It wasn't about being cool or impressing anyone. Of course, being art and/or a decoration, there does come the element of impressing people. You either like them or you do not... or like me, you like some and not others. Either by the type or by the location. Tattoos also went through a popular era where they had been more widely accepted. This followed an era where most frowned upon them, seen as only worn by seedy characters. Once they became more accepted they spread to the mainstream and a banker might have some, though not visible M-F under their white collar button-up. You started seeing "cutesy" tattoos as much as "scary" ones. My first tattoo came with deeper meaning. My oldest sister (Heather) was a well-known silver jewelry maker in Toas, NM who passed away way too young weeks after her 40th birthday from a burst brain aneurism. My next older sister (Holly) went out to deal with closing down Heather's shop and liquidating stock. Heather learned silversmithing from a Hopi craftsman, which is rare with her being white. She did her own interpretations of traditional Hopi designs. Holly brought back a paper pattern of the Peyote Bird, which symbolizes our journey to heaven, and I was moved to get a tattoo styled after that, to symbolize her journey. From there, it was get one done on the other arm, then balance the first side with the second side. I might have never gotten tattoos had it not been for the disturbing loss of my healthy as can be, lived life to the fullest, major influence on my life big sister. My she rest in piece. She is missed by many

Re: Tattoos
I remember a stripper who had a tattoo of the Tasmanian Devil pushing a mower making a cut into the 'bush'. I found that to be very creative

Re: Tattoos
I made it this long without getting one, I think I can make it the rest of the way. Both of my sons have tons of them, and my daughter in law has them. My grand daughters mom has them. Nieces and nephew have them. My grand daughter turns 18 this summer my guess is she'll get them. ... Its not edgy anymore or anything, nothing burgers in my eyes.

Re: Tattoos
Older fella that used to work for me told me that he had a $100 bill tattooed on his manhood. When I asked why he said his wife was terrible with money so he told her anytime she got the hankering to blow $100 to come see him. True story
