That’s nice work.
I was in the Army, Ft. Gordon, Ga… Augusta’s main street was like a carnival, and there was a tattoo shop with a picture of Picasso’s “Dove of Peace”. A simple line drawing. I’ve kicked myself in the ass for 50 years for not getting it. On top of it being a beautiful picture, it would have pissed off my nominal superiors big time.
Thank you. My sister spent a lot of time picking the right tattoo artist and designing it. Which is good because if it had been done badly there’s no way I would have considered getting it!
I’m jealous, I’m a taurus, and I don’t like any bull imagery.
Maybe a tattoo of the Ford?
ETA: I was kidding, but I like tattoos that require an explanation, especially if the explanation is facetious/humorous.
Have one just like that, an eye on my right upper arm. Many years ago, when I was headed to Tonga to run a fish collection station for the US aquarium trade, had a friend say she didn’t want me going anywhere she couldn’t keep an eye on me. So I had her eye tattooed on…
Awesome!
When Lewinsky was in the news, I’d tell people I had a tattoo dedicated to her. I’d raise my arm to show it (it’s near my armpit) and they’d see a bird. Specifically a swallow. Some people got it right away.
This is one of those moments where I think “I guess obviously such a job exists, but it literally never occurred to me, and somehow I’m startled by it.”
I know very little about fish, I find them disconcerting, and have never contemplated the industry at all.
I was kayaking this summer in shallow water in the St Lawrence River and stopped to look around and saw a rather large muskie pass right under my kayak…I think if my hand were in the water, I could have touched it. I do think it was 3+ft long…I didn’t know what it was until I googled local fish later to figure it out.
Anyways, to keep this on-topic, one of my vague “tattoo subject matter” ideas is related to kayaking. Just don’t really know what I’d like.
I’m a Leo, so I thought about getting a lion tattoo, but then I remembered that I despise astrology.
I’ve actually seen one that was quite beautiful. The bull was feminized a bit with more flowing and curving lines, and there was a wreath of flowers around the horns that came trailing down.
I mean don’t let astrology stop you… People get lion tattoos for all kinds of reasons, and I’d bet most of them have little to nothing to do with astrology.
I’ve never been into astrology or horoscopes and I still ended up with three fish tattooed on my leg because it was a beautiful way to represent the three of us.
Have that on the top of my left thigh, although certainly untraditional - 2 NW tribal orcas in the Pisces configuration. Back when I had more money than sense, I contemplated a tribal orca chasing a tribal sea lion chasing a tribal salmon down the outside of my left leg.
I’m a man of limited stories, and limited memory. I’ll go back and delete the first one.
