What tattoo to get next?

I knew a guy years ago that was a bit different. A really decent guy, though he hardly ever spoke. In fact, he had the nickname "Mute". This was a guy, that when they passed a law in Iowa requiring mirrors on motorcycles, attached a tiny dentist mirror on his handlebars with a pipe clamp!

Anyway, I was giving him the good-natured business one day and, as usual, he said nothing. However, he thrust out his bottom lip to reveal the words "Fuck You" tatooed on the inside of his lip. Best application of ink I'd ever seen, but it HADDA hurt to have it done!!! :-)

In my preteen years we frequented a public swimming pool to get a break from the Texas heat.

Occasionally this one guy would show up and we kids would swim over his way, just to see his tatoos.

Above one Breast was "chocolate" and above the other "vanilla." Above the elastic line of his trunks was a "?" (question mark). In those days a real shocker, really gave us something to talk about in school.

These days, the question mark could be taken literally, no?

Is he, or ain't he, a he? :-)

As long as we`re getting tasteless...I saw a picture of a pretty good one. This guy had Elmer Fudd with shotgun, tattooed on his butt cheek, looking center, saying "Come on out, you wascally wabbit!"

Amusing thread, it went from "why would you? don't do it!" to some interesting ideas. In the end I settled on the album cover from "Even in the Quietest Moments". It took the artist over three hours to do it, he pointed ot most artists wouldn't attempt something of this detail unless it was done on a bigger scale (e.g. your entire back). The discomfort was well worth it, he did an outstanding job. It's interesting the reaction from some people.. either "why did you get a piano tattooed on your shoulder?" or "does it wash off?" to.. "cool! Supertramp, right?" Enough ink for me, I have no aspirations of looking like Tommy Lee. Best, Jeff

What?! No Pictures?!

Come on, post 'em!

the cover of Santana/Santana or a bong!

If you are into tube audio or horns, how about the official Spokesgirl "Little Miss Triode" from http://www.thehornshoppe.com/

I got a tattoo of a tube amp. Then I decide to replace the stock tubes with some nice Mullard gold pins. Then I replaced those with some Telefunkens. Now I got no room for those sweet Amperex Hollands that I want in there.....I guess it's laser removal for me so I can put in the new tubes!
