Default Tattoos and bikers.

Who around here has tattoos and what are they tattoos of?

I get tattoos to mark major changes in my life. I have a rat on top of a skull on my left upper arm (when I got married), two skulls on my upper right arm (got each one when each of my two sons were born) and a demon that covers my left thigh (when my younger brother passed away).

My sons are now old enough to drive themselves where they need to go, so I sold my car and bought a

Left arm fave...

I have HAWAII on my right wrist both because I love Hawaii and because the word itself became the only way to identify my brothers body when he died of drowning in 95.
I have another fave animal on my left ankle
This is on the right upper back shoulder and the rose is actually purple
a small rose next to a crying eye on the tailbone was my first and WAYYYY before they began being called tramp stamps and a tiny rose on my left hand.

Getting them had nothing to do with being a "biker" however plus I don't see myself as a biker so much as a motorcycle enthusiast, lol.

My tats have nothing to do with me riding a motorcycle, in fact I got most of them after I had sold my old bikes back in the early 1990's.

Same here or after first bike, before second and before and during obtaining current bike, lol.
I just threw that in because you titled the thread tattoos and bikers as tho they somehow do go or have to go together.

Thats cool. May I ask what ages your daughters started getting their's?

My 11 year old mentions it every now and then but if I were to allow it, I'd end up on the evening news and all over the net, lol.

Nope.....no ink for minors.
Besides after he's grown the whole transformer thing wont be cool anymore.LOL

My youngest daughter (27) started when she was about 19,
She only had 4 or 5 till I started slinging ink a few years ago
And I did all the rest.

My oldest daughter (30) got her first when she was 28
I've done all her work. She only talked tattoo before. Maybe getting one
Until I started doing it.
Then...hey dad you think you could do a..............when

My wife had two before I started on her.

Funny.....they all have more work lined up they want done.
Amazing how many you want.......when it's free.

Oh well....

Funny how many of their friends all of sudden always wanted one too.
