Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How many have tattoos ???

Is that an S and a M on her boobs?

I have one - wife's name with a red rose (her favorite flower) and a bluebird (her favorite bird). It was a birthday gift from her in 1998.

My wife and I have none. If other people have them that is up to them.

Back in 1970 as a young marine was the closest I came to getting a tattoo. But growing up in the 50's & 60's amongst all the WW2 guys who had 'em was what stopped me. Damn near all of 'em regretted getting a tattoo. I heard all the excuses; most common of which was being drunk. The one regret I recall best was my dad's buddy in 1960 when I was 10 and asked him to lift the sleeve of his T shirt so I could see his tattoo better. Then I exclaimed that it was "really neat !", and he calmly said; " Yeah; I thought it was really neat, too... Back in 1943;.. But now I'm so damn sick of looking at it".... That was the thing flashing through my mind that day in 1970 that finally caused me to not get that tattoo. Kinda glad I didn't as it would be 50 years old this year and I'd bet that I, too, would have been damn sick of looking at it.

22250rem,

Was it like this?

I was at a stage in life where my friends were having a lot of influence on my decisions. My good bud Gary and I were to get tats together, had them picked out, shop chosen. The week of when we were supposed to get them Gary slid his bike under a truck. No more Gary, no more tats. That also ended my biker gang affiliation.

NO

Mama said all them shops was good places to catch that hepatitis stuff.

Red beans and rice didn’t miss her

Tattoos are definitely career limiting. Our HR department had standing instructions to not consider anyone who had visible tattoos for customer-facing positions, which were, of course, the highest paid ones. Same for males with body piercings or earings. Trimmed beards were OK but not full beards or the ones (now somewhat popular) that looked like you forgot to shave for three days.

Then there was the jerk I knew that had "Julie" tattooed in large letters on his forearm. Julie had left. The tatoo merely smudged.

I don't have a tattoo. Nor does my wife, my kids, or their kids. Hastings has the right idea.

Wife has 2 small ones. I didn't know how much I would like them. It's like a little teaser of what lies beneath.

must not love your children if you would do that.

My biggest and most hard-won mule deer. He was nine-years old when I finally figured his escape routes out.

I killed him with a Nosler prototype .284 bullet in my .280 Ackley Improved at a little over 400-yards (pre-laser years ).

A very skilled tattoo artist who specializes in big game art did a wonderful job.

Left biceps and integrated into a large arm-band of vine maple.

Hey Tim!

Good to see you're alive.

Hope all is well out there.
