You've gone all out Tina! If you're a fan of John Irving (The World According to Garp, A Prayer for Owen Meany) read his Until I Find You novel. Lots of tattooing and a great John Irving story...

Here's my torch and wire (see my avatar). I've had it about a year now.

That torch and wire is just beautiful! No way could I sit for one that large.
Oh, that one wasn't too bad, maybe 2-3 hours. This one was MUCH worse... About a 7.5 hour sitting, all at once. I got this at a tattoo festival and the artist is from Florida, so it HAD to be finished in a single sitting. The last hour was really tough.Originally Posted by (TinaBee1 @ Nov. 22 2007, 20:33)

I was in line to get a tattoo in Saigon back in '69. A Harley Eagle was my plan. The tattoo artist was doing a set of jump wings on a dog-face, watching TV and arguing with the girl in the next booth. She turned to yell at the girl next to her and took a chunk out of his arm about the size of a quarter and I could swear I could see the bone. Sobered me up right quick. I've also thought about getting a flower pot too, but the memory is too clear still. Mutilation for fashion seems foolish anyway.
Well, how about a tattoo that inspired a headstock inlay? About 45 years ago while in the Navy I got a simple "only one like it in the fleet" tattoo in Oakland California. A year and a half ago I did one of the IV kits and inlaid the headstock with a copy of the tattoo. I published it in the pictures threads and it may still be there.
Nowadays, I go along with what Clyde Clevenger above says.
The power of this messageboard may be more than we realize...on the day of the original posting, my son(stratocaster), his cousin(telecaster), and my daughter(violin) all got tattoo's of a stylized trebelclef, each a variation of my son's design! Youch! Post a pic later.
All I can say is"The family that picks together tattoos together"............

I wanted something more traditional, but didn't just want a standard gypsy. I've always liked the sugar skulls. The artist was REALLY psyched to do the design, and cut me a pretty good discount after I found out how much it would normally cost and balked.
Tattoos aren't for everyone, but then again, neither is bluegrass...

Uh, no. I have two medium to small tattoos and that is enough for me!
Those were done on the day of the original posting, by my son, daughter, and their cousin...just by chance.
They all love music and loved their idea of getting a tattoo each.
I don't get the whole tattoo thing, have none myself.
Got a mando tattoo for my 60th birthday. a f style , strings, tuners, tailpiece, bridge and sunburst, with harley wings around the neck as if the wings were rotating around the neck, on the right forearm. Performed at the 2nd annual Rockhound State Park Memorial Day weekend, got a lot of comments from the audience, and a lot of questions around town about what kind of guitar is that? Good conversation piece, but most of all you have to live up to what you have, means a lot of close attention and practice on the mando and harley. Good pickin and ridin. An earlier post stated, that if you have a mando tattoo you must be a redneck, another stated that enlisted people in the militay have tattoos. Well I grew up in East Tn, am a retired Army Command Sergeant Major, ride a harley, have a masters of science in human behavior, and plays a mando. I guess that makes me an educated, retired enlisted soldier, who rides a harley, plays mando and is a redneck. If I am able to figure out this computer I will post a pic.

Drew -- I love the tribal take on the treble clef in your family's tattoo choices; I especially like your son's, but all three are way cool.
TinaBee -- nice choice as well

I have a line-drawn fern on my inner left forearm and am planning on having the same artist do a matching flowerpot for my right arm.
