I thought I was the only one that has considered a mandolin inspired tatoo!
The F holes are cool, but I really like the Big Mon. I have considered a flowerpot or maybe even a F style headstock. A fern would be nice too.

I've been wanting to get a mandolin tattoo. That flowerpot idea sounds great. Anyone know where I can find a good clear picture?
Try the Mandolin Archive. Or use a google image search for mandolin flowerpot

Thanks for the suggestion of the Mandolin Archives Jamie. I found that I really liked the Fern design instead of the flower pot,so that's going to be it. Now I just have to decide where I want to put it....
... its not a mandolin ... but a friend of mine " Dobby ", has a bass on his arm ... we both are in the same band #- " Ash Creek " #-

I have thought about this for a while. I would probably like a tatoo of a bowlback mandolin, at a rakish angle, with perhaps some cool looking inlay.
But having a circle of fifths on my left arm would probably be much more useful.
TinaBee1..did you decide on a location for your fren tatoo yet?

I'm thinking of between my shoulder blades,or on my upper arm. I'm in a historic group that dresses in period attire so I have to have it somewhere it can't be seen when I'm in those clothes. One of my friends suggested on my calf but I don't know. Just can't decide but I need to make up my mind soon....
Don't rush... its a big decision. It's not like they rub away after a few days like a Cracker Jack Tattoo... If I ever get one I would want it where I could see it easily.

MandoJeremy came by to see me yesterday. He is sporting his new 'tat'. It is an F4 style flowerpot on the inside of his left forearm. Very cool, if you are into that sort of thing.
Have a Great Day!

Cool! MandoJeremy..any pictures yet?

I'm with Jamie. I have two tattoos... one on my upper right arm and one on my inner left forearm. (neither are mandos) I figure, if I'm gonna go throught the painful part, I want to enjoy being able to see the darn thing!
Upper arm is a good compromise b/c you can see it if you want to and you can cover it if you want to. Also, being a fleshy part of the body, it hurts less than being on a bony part of the body.
I'd also say-- take your time. You'll know when it feels right. I hemmed and hawed about it for at least 10 years before I got my first one. Afterwards, I wasn't sure why I'd been so hesitant... but up until then, I just wasn't ready.

..my thoughts exactly!! That's why I'm leaning more towards my arm. I actually lived over a tattoo shop when I was much, much younger and lots of my friends got butterflies,hearts- those kinds of things but that just didn't float my boat. I figured if it was something I was going to have to live with forever then it had better be something I really liked! so guess I've been thinking about it then for about 20some years I was going to get a thistle <Scottish flower> since I'm into Scottish stuff but I like this fern design much, much better. Beautiful on that mandolin and the good Lord willing just as beautiful on me:D Now to save the money....
here's my fern tattoo. I think it's beautiful!
Tina is that a new and improved version of a tramp stamp? Lp

Nice tattoo. It's definitely a conservation starter.
now you need to add a thistle on each side...
