Got Ink?


We're contractors/construction workers, I know you guys/gals have tats, give em up. I only have mine under the shirt as there's a enigma attached to them, and I'm in sales. Heres mine.

Re: Got Ink?


These are just 2 of my tats. The dragon is on my back and it was a freebie My artist wanted to do it and knew I wanted it so he called me up and asked if I still wanted it. The panther is a family tat my brother and sister and I all went in and got them together and my dad has the same design that he got when he was 20 or so.

Re: Got Ink?


I've got a red maple leaf on the outside of my right calf with "30" inside it. I'm a goalie and that's my nmber - in case you're wondering.

No pic to show - I'll post when I get around to taking one.

My next tats are going to be my daughter's names - just have to decide on the locations.

Re: Got Ink?


I have none.

I guess I am a preppy construction owner.

Don't feel bad, I didn't get mine until I was 35. Coincidentally, it was after I was seperated. Hmmm, coincidence? NOOOO!

Re: Got Ink?


My tat was done by the dermatologist to remove skin cancer. Not quite as colorful as the above posts. <P>

I think they are just setting you guys up so they can tatoo numbers on your arms and put chips under your skin.

I know he was a good artist I wish he never moved away but I guess if he did not I might have to wear long sleeves and gloves to go bid a job so as not to scare the customer.

Re: Got Ink?


I wanted to get inked back in my younger days. My Uncle, a D-Day vet, showed me his. They were just green blotches, you could kind of make out the USMC insignia if you squinted real hard.

The problem seems to be with the sun, tats don't like it and I do. To date, I'm only defaced with the scars of the profession.........and a few bar fights.
