Jamie,
I have been seriously thinking of having a B natural done on my arm.
Our bass player has a bass clef on his left shoulder..the way he plays... it should have been a rest

I've got 2 full sleeves, tops of both hands, knuckles, palm of my left hand, both sides of my neck, my throat and my legs! I'm saving my steel tattoo for my back, but I'm not really sure what to incorporate. maybe a hula girl playing hawaiian guitar!

I have no tattoos and do not plan on having any. It is just a turnoff to me.

I dreamed this sort of celtic sun thingy so often I finally had it put on, and sure enough, never dreamt about it again.


People always ask how much it hurt- maybe I'm weird, but I really enjoyed getting it, felt like a million tiny massages.

Everytime I think about getting a tattoo, I think about how many stomp boxes I could buy wth the same money. I might get a tattoo one day, when all of the stompers are mine!!! Bwah-ha-hah-ha!!!!

In 1955 I was a young sailor with a long weekend and I had enough money to get drunk or tattooed. Having been drunk before I got the tattoo. Nothing spectacular, it was "Flower" the skunk. Meant to get a "Thumper Rabbit" on the other arm but never got around to it.

Count me in Jamie, I have 17....most going back to my mispent youth. Have 'em on my back,arms,chest. I actually had one done very recently despite Doctor's orders because of infection due to my lowered immune system because of the meds for my heart transplant in 1999, but I've always been a ham and went ahead anyway. All was well Smile ..... A strange story, I had 2 Chinese characters tattooed on once. In the shop it said they ment "Courage and Strength" Wrong!!!! Once in hospital, I asked a Chinese nurse what those two meant??? "Passing animal" she said Lol. Ah well, never mind Smile I still don't regret them, it's just me!! Smile

I've never ever thought about having any, although a good number of friends have had them on various parts of their body.

If I ever decided anytime that I couldn't live without the pain of having some work done - I'd probably have a large "W" tatooed on each cheek of my backside for when I have to bend over!!! WOW Embarassed
