Do you have a tattoo

[fredjr82]

Do you have any tattoos? I'm probably in the minority at this point, as I don't have a single one. Always thought I'd get one but nothing ever really motivated me to schedule something. Girlfriend doesn't have any either, although one girl I was seeing after my divorce had a Tramp Stamp. That was kind of fun to look at.

 

[Nole-4-Life]

I have 3 and they all have meaning.

That’s my story also. Except for your girlfriend. ……I always thought I would get a tiger hawk or peace sign on my ankle but I was never motivated enough to do it.

 

[Hoosierhawkeye]

Nope and I don't think I would ever get one.

I've always found them sort of trashy personally but I admit a lot of non-trashy people still get them.

 

[Rifler]

No tattoos, no piercings, no ear gauges,.. other than some self imposed liver damage I'm pretty much the way they made me.

 

[funksouljon]

No. Was close to getting a tattoo a couple times in my 20s overseas, but didn't. Been considering getting one on my arm associated with my surgery scar, just haven't.

 

[InsaneHawkJJP]

Nope, I just can’t commit to putting something on my body permanently. The NP has 2 and regrets them both.

I figured you’d have a Mickey Mouse tat OP.

 

[Moral]

No tattoos. I doubt I ever get one but if I do it will be a moral.

 

[jellyfish10]

Nope. Tried to give myself a brand 30ish years ago with a lighter and inscense. That was pretty dumb and hurt like a mother fvcker. I have a pretty addictive personality so one tat would end up at 69 or more.

[boxahawks]

Once I saw a photo to Tim Dwight's tiger hawk, I knew that was for me. The wife (no pics) wasn't too happy at first, but was more unhappy at first, when she thought I'd started smoking again after 12 years. Everyone smokes in a tattoo shop and I probably reeked of it.

 

[BrianNole777]

No.

Why put a bumper sticker on a Ferrari?

 

[QChawks]

Nope

Tat’s are trashy

All natural baby

One thing this thread confirms is you’re a bunch of old farts, sitting behind a keyboard and bored out of your minds😉😆especially @Colonoscopy … lol

 

[Whiskeydeltadeltatango]

Yes.

I also have no problem admitting I have a giant double standard on males with Tats vs females with tattoos and the drop off for visibility is steep.



Celtic cross on my back with scripture

Japenese symbol for Honor on my sternum ( I was a Jap Minor in college and have since forgot basically everything I knew)


Lion on my ribcage ( old Barclay's symbol for those that know) - On paper the story is "I was drinking whiskey with a sailor and he gave me a lion tattoo".

I don't regret any of them, one is purposely bad to remind myself to not take anything to serious.

 

[onlyTheObvious]

I will never get one. The only one I would maybe get is Vikings Super Bowl.

Enough said.

 

[Lindemann]

I've got one on each arm. Got both while I was in the Coast Guard back in the early 90's. I won't get another one.

A lot of the new ones I see nowadays seem to be on 300 lb girls wearing tube tops. Not pleasant.

A real blank canvas.....

 

[SolarHawk]

I'm heavily tattooed. Always liked the way they look and I find it very attractive on women. My wife has a lot of tattoos as well, but not nearly as many as I do. In my 20's and early 30's I was going to the tattoo shop at least once a month. I've slowed down in my 40's but still get a tattoo or two a year. Don't care if people think I'm trashy, I probably make more money than most of em lol.

 

[jonesy5960]

I have one tattoo. Sometimes it looks like an indistinguishable "Sun". Other times it says "Superman". Just depends on how excited I am.

 

[ClarindaA's]

2 3/4 sleeves, one is a lion, owl, negative space cross and some roses. The other is a phoenix, both are black and grey photo realism. Daughters name under right clavicle, son on inner arm. May get more, didn’t start until 42

Dang, 42 is a late start. I got my first one at 18, and didn't get another one for almost ten years because I was poor lol.

 

[Hbotus Dichotomous]

I don’t have any tattoos. There’s nothing I like enough to get permanently placed on my body.

 

[HawkeyeShawn]

I have a very small tattoo on the side of my wrist. I hardly consider it a tattoo. It took the artist 45 seconds.

This is the “The Lucky Few” tattoo. The upward arrows represent the three copies of chromosome 21 that people with Down Syndrome have. The arrows also symbolize moving forward and rising above the genetic condition.

I’m the same way. I have a lot of tattoos but don’t like them on women.

I’m actually getting my final tattoo today. A Viking ship with the year my great grandfather emigrated from Denmark.

 

[LBoogie28]

No tattoos. Scars on the other hand…

 

[ClarindaA's]

I was glad I waited. Got something that has a lot of meaning and could afford a really great artist.

You hit the nail on the head when it comes to visible tattoos. It has to be something that can be considered "art" level quality.

 

[The Tradition]

I seriously considered getting a Seminole head tattoo on my upper arm. Mrs. Tradition (no pics) was horrified by the idea so I didn't do it.

I know, CSB.

No ink, no piercings, no desire for either. Yes, I'm old. If I had a change of heart, maybe I'd get one that says

GET OFF MY LAWN!!!

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

I got my first one at 41.

All of them have significant meaning.

 

[onlyTheObvious]

Use to love watching Ink Masters.

I sort of assume most tats age poorly. The ones I see in public mostly look like ass.

I would think only black ink would stand the test of time better.

 

[HROT]

I wear a long mushroom earring in my left ear. I pierced my ears maybe 30 years ago and the left one has never closed, the right has never fully closed either.

One, USAF wings with a prop, red sun.

 

[jellyfish10]

Close. Mushroom tip is teal and far more erect.

 

[ozzie8]

Yup. Electric Head in Iowa City did a Celtic cross on my shoulder when I was 19

In the immortal words (and heavy WV accent) of a friend's dad's high school buddy walking through downtown Baltimore to a Ravens game, "There's two things I don't do: one is get a tattoo, and two is buy a purple pimp hat."
