Hahahahahahahaha that got you guys opening up this thread quickly didn't it????


I was just thinking......

After reading Andybighair's thread on martial arts I felt quite in awe and, to be honest, a bit depressed.......

I don't do anything that 'enhances my mind' or 'expresses fluid motion' or even anything that tightens my buns...........

All I do is fart bout with guitars and drumkits....................

But then I realised - I DO have another addiction!!!

I am quite partial to the distasteful, sleazy, hard core, down right dirty past time of tattoos!!!!!

I have quite a few and will post them if people want, but as a starter and to see if anyone elsa is willing to show off their ink I will post this one which is 'relevant' and also a nod to the 'Number one guitar' thread



It is actually my Strat (although I have now changed the bridge and pickguard........where's the magic markers.... )

Yeah, it was straight wen I got it.......then I got fat!!!!

AM wondering now if the people on the forum are too tasteful to post their tatts.......or maybe to sensible to get tatts.........

So here is one of my 'sensible' ones..........

Naw man it's just that tats are like finger prints man, I have two and they both mean somethin, times and where your at when you get them in your life and what they mean to you, I have a siners cross on my left arm and a backwards bulldog on my right, but these things don't pertain to my life now, so I'am forever lookin at the past and strivein for a better future.

dang i like that one right there. sweet.

That Crucifixion tattoo is really tasteful.I wish that my daughter was a talented enough tat artist to do something like that I just got a Celtic Cross.Did your tat artist create that on his/her own or download it from a previous pattern?I'd love to get that very tat done.

Believe it or not he 'roughed' it for me from a similar drawing in ten mins and then just copied his sketch by directly. No stencils or anything....totally freehand.....

SO does that mean you regret them at all or do they encourage you?

Ooooh the psychology of body art........bring it!

NOT at all! it just means that it was wear I was at, at that time in life, and once you got em, you got em, would never change things cuase they have meaning from the hart, and to change or disrespect them would be disrespecting the reason why I had them in the first place, and my soul knows why there on my body and my brain knows why I put them there, and it's an honor to be given these tats, so I respect that I have them, but today is not yesturday, and now days people have tats simply to have tats and think it,s a big deal, were as when I was a young man you had to earn your stripes and thats why I have them, I earned them and I'am proud to have them, there not store bought!

I agree completely alexander!!

They have to mean something and all mine do. Believe it or not I have 'grown' into the meaning for my first two cos they were simply tatoos for tattoos' sake and all my mates were getting them.

Every one of them now has a deep and almost spiritual meaning for me whether it is my memorial sleeve to my Mum that I am half way through or my guitar tat or even my apparently silly ones
like these!!

and the answer.......


They ain't silly to me but if folks feel they can laugh about them, and they almost always do, then great! But I know what they mean and they mean lots!!

I like your thinking alexander!

MAN if people are laughin at those then they can,t read, and glad you got my drift cuase you know I know, those rep to you and thats the way it is, it don't matter what others think they see, it only matters why you got em, and the fact that you got them, people all the time thinkin they know it all, and the truth is how would they know, were you there is whats the f--- and they weren,t sittin next to you while your doin a bit, and man it sometimes feels 40 grit on a new paint job, peace to you my friend and have a good one.
PS nice.

I have a few tats...nothing worth posting any pics of though. Just an Iron cross, a tribal armband (yeah i got caught in that mess...) a celtic design which I think is pretty cool, and my ex wife-s name, which has now been covered by big, red block letters which spell... VOID ... seriously.

I thought I saw something like that on the internet and after a little research (google) I found this, http://www.checkoutmyink.com/tag/void-stamp-tattoo, people seem to like your idea .

I have three chinese letters (please don't ask me what dialect ) that mean Love, Respect and Knowledge, just something I try to seek in live. It means that or "Kung Pow 5 dollars" (old joke I know).
