_Sweet Willie_ Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Okay, I'm curious. Who's got a tattoo, or two, or six, or full body art...or none at all? If you really like your tattoo, please describe it or post a picture. I have one, and often think about getting another. It's a yin-yang on my hip. Basic. Got it in college. I was in Newport RI, stone-cold sober, and have never regretted it. Peace. --SW spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars. Messiaen knew how to parlay the funk.

The Bear Jew Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Yeah, I have some tattoos. Six, to be exact. Five on my right arm in color, one on my left in black. They're all turtles. If I could find my digi camera, I'd post pics. Yes, I was totally sober when I got them, and no... I don't regret them a bit. I'd like to get a few more when I get more cash. BTW, I bought our singer, Bill, his tattoo when we were on Queen St. Toronto once... We had a few hours to kill before a show, and I had extra bucks. Bill had the Korean characters for "Cottonmouth" in his wallet, so I snagged them and went into a shop and asked what it would cost to slap that on him in black. I think it was $100 Canadian... He was kinda freaked, but he sat like a pro, and his ink still looks fresh today. I took Da Finga for his first ink about six years ago, and now he gets tattoos every time we tour. Consequently, he's always bleeding throughout every tour. It's funny. He has a few great pieces. \m/ Erik "To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." --Sun Tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicklab Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 None here. I'm just not into them. But I saw one guy on "The Soprano's" who had a bass clef on his arm. I think that episode aired about 3 weeks ago. Obligatory Social Media Link "My concern is, and I have to, uh, check with my accountant, that this might bump me into a higher, uh, tax..."

Pernax Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 No tattoos on this bugger's skin, ain't my thing, but I don't have anything against them on others. I wonder if there is a correlation between tattoos on one's body and special inlays on one's bass? -P (up to 200 characters) You may use UBBCode in your signature.

zeronyne Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 I've got a tie-dye colored Yin Yang on my bicep (or what passes for a bicep)-red, orange, yellow on one side and violet, blue, green on the other. I've been dieting for two years...when I reach my target weight, I am going to get a back piece that covers both shoulder blades and the left bicep. My wife said she's going to call it the midlife crisis warning flag. I really like tattoos, but I'd rather see bad jailhouse ink or a cheezy nude woman than see a Bart Simpson or Calvin and Hobbes on someone's arm. "For instance" is not proof.

Cthulhu Fhtagn Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Funny, that. I used to work part time in a parlor on Hotel Street in Honolulu, back when I was in the service. Wouldn't believe how many people have a problem with getting ink from one who has no ink themselves. I can tell you how to make your very own tattoo gun with a Bic "Stic" pen, a sewing needle, solder, a paper clip, a fingernail file, 2 "D" cells, electrical tape and the motor from a Sony Walkman. And no, I've never been in prison. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73 P Bass Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 As of right now I have no tattoos. But I'm entering my early mid life crisis years so it's either tattoos, a motocycle or both. Since tattoos are cheaper, I'll probably go that route. Unfortunately it's been a really slow year, so even tattoos are a little pricey for me. But when I have the cash I'll start with an Ace of Spades (born to lose / live to win), and go from there.

Mr M Pulsive Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 5 total, for now. 3 of them will be integrated into a full sock (knee to ankle) on my left leg.

I've since added another piece about the same size on the front side of that leg (about 3 hours away from completion), now I just need to tie the two together. ...simply stating.

henryrobinett Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 I don't get the tattoo thing. I taught music in Folsom Prison among others for 10 years or so. I most often associate them with prisoners. It's transitioned from being a "low life" body art thing to being an artsy low life body art thing. Seeing all those old, old tattoos that are worn, withered and grey on old time prisoners and the like, where you can barely make out what they were suppose to be is enough to keep me away from the needle. Let alone other things. Prison tattoo artists use cassette players (there are almost no recorders in California prisons. It's against the law) and stripped down ball point pens to do tatoos. I forget what they use for the needle. This too is against the law, although it's rarely enforced. Believe it or not prison tattooing considered defacing of state property. The property being those gentlemen who are wards of the state. Can you believe that? Human beings as property. State property no less. Almost modern slavery. But you know to each his or her own. It matters not to me what other people do. But for me it's kind of yeech! All the best, Henry Robinett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
