    I like waterbuffalo's. Something simple. Only tattoo I have is a set of Jumpwings high on the shoulder. Thought about a Long Trail tattoo; but came to the conclusion one is enough. For the AT I'd go with the diamond with the AT inside Appalachian Trail Above the AT and Maine to Georgia below. Maybe 3 to 4 inch Diamond. For the Long Trail I was thinking the circle with the arrow. The one the GMC mails out to go on a car.

    I did however like that Big Ink on the Calf. In any event go to a pro and think it thru.

    Many people get tattoos after significant life experiences. I'm not surprised by AT tats. In fact I'd get one if I ever finished the AT and have the courage to be stabbed that many times.

    Thanks! I found the design online. It was a logo someone had done for something other than a tattoo. I wanted something artistic looking and not just a block logo or anything. I had my guy re draw it to where it would work better for a tattoo. I love it.

    Somehow I missed this last year. Love your tattoo, and have been talking about something very similar for a couple of years, but I wanted to finish the trail first. Maybe I'll go ahead and get the ink done even though I haven't hiked the whole thing yet..

    Didn't want to finish the trail before getting my AT tat,,, because it would've been 10+ years from now. The attached pic represents multiple tats over several years. If you want to see the progression, see my gallery.
