    On a completely different note I've heard (and swear I once saw a picture of) Bryn Bright who had F hole tatoo's on her back from her neck down to her bum!!!

    Talk about sexy!!!

    i once knew a young lady with a "johnathon living seagull" tatooed alongside an extremely intimate part of her body. #unfortunately, it looked more like a wehrmacht eagle.

    i love my mandolin. #i really do. #in fact, i can say that i've haven't loved a "thing" quite so much as my mandolin for many years. #when i'm away from it - which is rare - i really miss it ... but no where near enough to have some creepy guy stabbing colored ink under my skin with a needle.

    there are things which truly divide us and tatoo's are surely one of them.

    in search of the good, the true and the beautiful - bill

    Not yet, but it would make a neat birthday present- not that I want to acknowledge any more birthdays though.....

    i don't have a tattoo yet but im going this weekend to get one. I'd like to get an f hole but have found that my drawing might be the only thing worse than my picking. Does anyone have a black outline of a classic f-hole i could bring into the parlor with me
    thanks

    Very cool. Thanks for sharing the pictures. I would consider getting a mandolin tattoo.

    I'm afraid I've tended to think rather on the basis of 'The more tattoos, the less brains' up to now.

    Maybe with mandolins it might be different, I dunno. And as for Bryn, I have to say it rather suits her. Hmmm....

    I don't regret my tatoos but the $1500 would have been better spent on a mandolin.

    I still don't get the whole tattoo thing. #Maybe I'm just an old f*rt. #When I was in the navy the only guys (as a general rule)who had tattoos were enlisted guys, or an officer who were previously enlisted. #As an officer it was frowned upon. # I can't imagine my grandkids saying to my wife "grandma show me your tattoos and piercings."

    I certainly appreciate the artistic talent of someone to be able to reproduct a drawing using fresh as a medium. #I just don't get it.

    I have wondered if I was going to get a tattoo, what would it be? #Absolutly nothing comes to mind... #To each his own..

    Don't mean to preach.

    F-Hole Tattoo

    The link goes to painting done by a friend. The model does in fact have those f-holes tattooed on her back.

    Okay, at least now we have a reason why Mando players on YouTube might not wear a shirt.

    "Not only am I the president of F-hole Hair club for men, I'm also a customer!"

    Definately gives you a 1900's look. 50's Xmas tree meets American gothic meets Miami Ink. Ted, you got style (seriously!) Great work.

    There are F holes and there are A holes. That's not directed at Ted. I think it's funny.

    Are there any "A" hole tattoos that we might view? No substitutions allowed, please!
