Not me, David. I suggested the Mrs. R that something subtle (my idea was the Emmons logo across my forehead) might be acceptable but dhe put her foot down and I was thwarted.

I can't even stand to have my hand stamped at a concert. I made my kids promise not to get a tattoo while I'm alive. They both married heavily tattooed people, but so far, no tattoos themselves (at least that I can see).

To be frank, I can't stand tattoos. I was just kidding in my earlier post.

'Sides that Roj, once you had the Emmons logo all settled in you might switch to Show-Pro or Mullen or something.
Then what?  |

I know a very successful entrepreneur who every time he sold one of this companies, he got the logo tattooed on him. He had something like 5 company logos on his leg

Ha!! I'd be sure not to get a Rittenberry - they're great steel guitars but my forehead's not wide enough.
I don't have children but my wife does. One daughter was in the Marine Corp and came back with a couple (maybe a rite-of-passage in that branch of the Services?) but daughter #2 had no such justification.
I made the mistake of raising my eyebrows at the disfigurement she'd voluntarily submitted to and was told: "This expresses my individualism..." I said that all it did was follow a trend and that individualism has no part of 'trends'.
It's so odd this thread should emerge now: it was only on Friday that I lightheartedly suggested the 'Emmons' tattoo to Susie (poking gentle fun at her daughters) and here we are.
I've made more mistakes in life than I can even remember but none have left an embarrassing and eternal scar; for this, I'm thankful.

My reasons for getting my first ink a couple of years ago (non-steel related) are none of anybody's damned business.
But the idea that the Harper Valley PTA has gone out of its way to express itself on the subject is a bonus.
So glad I got it. |

| I need a black lined drawing of a steel guitar. I fancy a 2” x 1” tattoo. 😀 or even 3” x 2”. Any artists out there. ? |

That's a LOT to be thankful for.

Brian Gattis is a steel player here in Atlanta, GA and one of the area’s top tattoo artists. He might help out. You can get him here on the SGF or FB.
