The Steel Guitar Forum

Kevin Owens ("Taco") has Sho-Bud on his right forearm. Woulda got that if he hadn't beat me to it.
I have the card suit (in red and black) on my upper right arm, under my mule shoe and inside a loop of barbed wire.

Nathans pickin' arm . . .

well that's freakin' awesome

I believe we have a winner!

I've thought about, but not followed through, with a tatoo of a ruler on my forearm as I'm constantly steeped in projects and hunting for a tape measurer. I was going to have 12 inches marked with the atomic Emmons fret markers instead of using numbers. 12" is just a bit too long and would go too far up my bicep so I've shelved the idea for now.

First person I thought of when I saw that was...Fuzzy Owen!

Same here wally. I could never figure out how I served in the USMC and somehow avoided one of these stamps. Probably because there were no parlors in the bush in Vietnam. lol

I don't have any tattoos and all of my piercings have been accidental.

I'm trying to put a band together for the No Tats Tour a knock off of Marty and Travis' No Hats Tour. Will be steel, bass, drums, and guitar. I've got a good start...so far I have a steel player..

And thank you for identifying the body part, John ...

Ha! Ha! Ha! Frank.

Casey James Prestwood has a great one!

I want to get something that incorporates some Beatles lyrics (“All You Need Is Love”) and a pedal steel, in memory of my dad. I've seen some on line that incorporate a regular guitar with lyrics, but not a steel guitar. I wonder if I could make it look good. The steel is so boxy! I don’t know.

If I did a brand name, it would be a Sierra.

The other idea I have is a bright red heart with a steel guitar inside it.

Thoughts?

You guys in this thread have some nice tattoos.

I do believe Bob would have appreciated All You Need Is Steel.

What I think would make a great tattoo is a view of two hands, one picking and one with a bar, playing on just strings, no other parts of the guitar. It represents pedal and non-pedal.

Not yet but planning on the Sho-Bud logo and the MSA logo at some point.

I'm glad you thought of your arm instead of some place else !

Since the thread's at the top I guess I'll post mine.

Mike Polanski I love it!
