How many of us Steelies have tattoos ?

Bit of a weird one this but I know a few with some on there arms's and I know of one who has music notes tattooed on his palm ?

Anyone got any steel ones ???

Yes,
I have a tattoo of my ZumSteel, on my upper right arm. And, I'm proud to show it to anybody.

Jamie,
I have been seriously thinking of having a B natural done on my arm.
Our bass player has a bass clef on his left shoulder..the way he plays... it should have been a rest

I've got 2 full sleeves, tops of both hands, knuckles, palm of my left hand, both sides of my neck, my throat and my legs! I'm saving my steel tattoo for my back, but I'm not really sure what to incorporate. maybe a hula girl playing hawaiian guitar!

I have a "Taz" playing a Tele on one shoulder and for Xmas, my wife got me a gift certificate to a local tattoo parlor so I can get my "Sho~Bud" tattoo on my right forarm!!

Just got the Marine Corps Mascot on my left forearm, that's it. It's a bulldog, with a campaign cover on.

I have no tattoos and do not plan on having any. It is just a turnoff to me.

No way on the tattoos!

I've only got one , but I like to see the photos and hear the stories

There was a recent discussion about tattoos in the, now, closed section:

I've got 8 and 8 stories to go with them!!!! most not to be told on the fourm...

Never had a tattoo,never will,have to take two insulin shots a day,thats enough needles for me.Have a lot of friends that do,and I could'nt care less.If that's your thing,go for it.

No tattoos for me !! I'm a coward and can't stand the pain !! Plus I'm too old now but lots of luck to those guys who have it done !! I'm in awe !! of some of the tattoos I see !!!

i don't have any
never really felt like havin' one
more power to those who do

Elmer Fudd on my left butt cheek.

just kidding

I dreamed this sort of celtic sun thingy so often I finally had it put on, and sure enough, never dreamt about it again.


People always ask how much it hurt- maybe I'm weird, but I really enjoyed getting it, felt like a million tiny massages.

I do! Love them! I would get more but the warden wont let me.

I've got a circular design on my shoulder and a piece of artwork from a Tom Waits album on my back.

Everytime I think about getting a tattoo, I think about how many stomp boxes I could buy wth the same money. I might get a tattoo one day, when all of the stompers are mine!!! Bwah-ha-hah-ha!!!!

In 1955 I was a young sailor with a long weekend and I had enough money to get drunk or tattooed. Having been drunk before I got the tattoo. Nothing spectacular, it was "Flower" the skunk. Meant to get a "Thumper Rabbit" on the other arm but never got around to it.

chas thanks I posted this topic before, I still want a tattoo but I hate pain, check out my topic and donna's post I love it!

I have 10

Count me in Jamie, I have 17....most going back to my mispent youth. Have 'em on my back,arms,chest. I actually had one done very recently despite Doctor's orders because of infection due to my lowered immune system because of the meds for my heart transplant in 1999, but I've always been a ham and went ahead anyway. All was well ..... A strange story, I had 2 Chinese characters tattooed on once. In the shop it said they ment "Courage and Strength" Wrong!!!! Once in hospital, I asked a Chinese nurse what those two meant??? "Passing animal" she said Lol. Ah well, never mind I still don't regret them, it's just me!!

I've never ever thought about having any, although a good number of friends have had them on various parts of their body.

If I ever decided anytime that I couldn't live without the pain of having some work done - I'd probably have a large "W" tatooed on each cheek of my backside for when I have to bend over!!! WOW
