Any tattoo fans out there?

For years I swore I would never have one. I told the kids if you wait long enough life will put enough marks on your body without having to pay for them; however, when I returned from Iraq in 2007 I became a bit obsessed with having some way to let people know a bit about where I had been and what I had done when I am to old and Alzheimered out to tell them myself.

So, at age 59----

I have two both military the Imjin Scout patch on my left forearm and the grim reaper on my right shoulder
 
What I love is that perfect lady that has the tiny one in most indescreet places-kinda like finding the diamond in the woods.

Apparently I'm not spending enough time in court..............

Unless your job requires you to be there - like his - I don't want to be spending any time in court!

I've often wondered about the ones that show Chinese or Japanese characters. What if they don't say what the tattoo artists says they say? For that matter, if the artist can't read Chinese, then how does he even know? Somewhere there is probably a Chinese guy laughing his butt off.
This girl had one put on that was supposed to say water goddess, but in Korean slang is actually meant "river slut".
 
I've got 2 full sleeves and 2 chest pieces. I'll show a few here. My brother's portrait is over my heart as I lost him 4 years ago. I have a sacred heart with a banner that reads Mom and Dad over my right chest.

My last piece was my upper right arm. It's the grille of a '32 Ford with the V8 logo centered. The grille wraps around to my inner arm and a '32 Ford Hi-boy roadster sits behind it on the Salt Flats. It's made to look as if you're viewing it through the grille. It took 5 sessions over the course of 10 months with close to 15 hours in it.

I do have plans for more but I've been spending too much on guns lately.
 
I have a lot and I don't regret a single one. I'm sure I will add some more as well, they really are addicting.
