Can't wait for the newest fads.

Hi,
I like tattoos, but I think it's injurious for our skin and we should avoid it. I know it is a important part of our fashion statement, we should believe in simplicity. Thanks for sharing.

Do you mean the new fad in shooting skeet?Originally Posted by Nearly Normal
It took me over 40 yars to decide to get a tattoo, and now I have two involving celtic knotwork. I always tell people considering getting one to think about where they will be in the next 20-30 years. While something bizarre peaking out of your shirt collar can look really cool on the trail, consider what it will look like when you decide to play dress-up and go the the symphony in a dress or to your best friend's wedding. Mine are only visible when I am swimming. Also, you should always smear #50 sunscreen on any tattoos that are exposed to prevent them from looking like the green blurs that the old WW2 vets have on their forearms. A good tattoo artist usually charges over $100.00 an hour for their work, and as with many things, you get what you pay for. Be sure to look at the artist's portfolio. Asheville has a couple that I can recommend, but avoid the "instant tattoos, no waiting" type of shops in Cherokee and Gatlinburg where people get stuff that looks like it was done in jail by a meth head. Here is the one that I have on the front of my right thigh.
Don't you mean in relation to the L3 vertebra? If one were to get a tattoo on a vertebra, it would be a very complicated tattoo and I don't think the neurosurgeon would appreciate someone messing with his sterile field.

Tattoos are a totally personal choice on what to get. It should be something that means something to you or that really catches your eye. I am also thinking about getting a couple at one point but mine have to do with bicycling. As the reason for my name I love everything to do with biking whether it be pedal or motorcycling to me like hiking it means pure freedom. If you really want one don't let anyone put you down about it. Good luck with your search. As mentioned do a google search on it tons of ideas out there. As a friend of mine said find yourself a reputable tattoo artist.

Great humor on WB...
This is why I love WB. It keeps me from having to go to comedy clubs for my humor hits. Thanks.Don't you mean in relation to the L3 vertebra?

Happy hiking.

This is right after I had it done, he did it light so I could have him darken it if necessary. I had him darken it so you can't see the line work in the gray. The heel is darker because it's suppose to be a boot imprint...thus the heel would be deeper.

Tattoos that fade
Back when I went into the Service in 1958, right after boot camp my buddies and I all went out for tattoos in a very scuzzy tattoo parlor right across from the Marine Barracks at 8th and I St.s in DC. I got a big Rooster tattooed on my (then) six pack. Over the years it slowly faded out to the point today all that's left is the Rooster's a-hole in the middle of my stomachOne of my buddies got a tat of a battleship in the same location. Whilst in the "Nam", he took a round to the gut. The ship sank and all he has left is the hole right in the middle of his gut
Ever see a one eared elephant?

Do you know a thru-hiker about your age in Gorham named "Mahoosuc"?
Not exactly a scenic outdoors, but I have a tribal raven and a maori totem on my upper left arm.

Sorry, no I don't.

I have always loved the jerkoff's who think it is their job to tell the world what they think of EVERYTHING...Even when it is not requested and obviously will not be appreciated. I have many tattoos, none of which can be seen unless I want them to be seen. I also got my tattoos well before it was cool to have them, I got them because I enjoy having them and if anyone has a problem with that I say SCREW YOU!!! Hike your own hike...Get your own Tattoo!!!
The one on my upper left arm is an "outdoor" scene. It is done in black only. It depicts a wolf, whose breath goes up into the air and forms the head of an Indian maiden whose hair than flows down and makes mountains with the moon rising behind them.
It was an idea I came up with and brought it to the only guy I would let work on me. His daughter took my rough idea and drew the pattern for her father (also an artist) to do the ink work.
