:o SICK!

So are you thinking like a quarter sleeve, half sleeve? $1,000 does seem pretty steep. Make sure it's what you REALLY want. That's a lot of money, especially for something irreversible. You should personalize it... make it special to you. I have a friend whose 24 and has full sleeves on both arms, with this awesome ocean/koi fish design. It's a metaphor about something his psych professor talked to him about in college to help him get some personal problems. By all means though, go for it! Just make sure it's what you want. :)

Cheers,
Seanny

Yeah I definitely like it and will continue to like it. I've wanted a full on tribal like this for a while. My other one on my back is part tribal as well. I will go for the half sleeve for now and later on I want to expand it onto my chest. I'm gonna talk to the artist later today and see what he can do for part of it now and the rest in the summer without having to spend 6 months having it look dumb. Here's what I have right now except I had it colored in and sometimes wish I had left it this way

Got a few myself (~30 hours on my right arm alone) - will post pics. $100 an hour and up is pretty common (sometimes way up.) The permanence never even crosses my mind, at least not in a negative way. I figure they are the only thing I have that not even the IRS can take away. I don't even go artsy and say that they mean anything- some do, some don't. To me a tribal peice better be something really different, because the rest has been done and done again. That's just personal opinion, though and if that's your speed then go for it. I'll run out of skin before I run out of ideas! The big factors for me are: Is the shop clean and professional looking? Is this the artists' specialty? (you'll get the best work from them this way.) Never complain about the price to them- It costs what it costs and this DRIVES THEM NUTS. This is a medical procedure, and yes it is permanent so bargain shopping is not a good idea.

Just make sure it is something you will like for many many years. I have seen some awesome looking tattoos for sure.

There was a guy that used to work at the local grocery store and he had nearly a full sleeve from when he was in his 20's. He was in his late 70's or early 80's and the tattoos looked really odd and not so good any more.

My feeling is scars are way more cool. Here's my best scar to date.
Who else has some good scars or tattoos to share?

Most of what kills a tattoo is UV exposure. I'm pasty white Irish so the Sun and I don't get along anyway:duh: The sleeve on my right arm is almost entirely yellow and looks almost new after 9 years. At one point I had 16 piercings as well (worked in a shop for a while,) but every generation thinks they invent the counter culture. Yes kids, some people your parents age used to look like they did a faceplant in a tackle box too. I think it's funny how angry the young piercing crowd tries to look these days.:rolleyes:

TDMC96 is big on tats. I think he is getting PL logo somewhere. I offered to pay for it if he got it on the butt cheek or the poop hole.
We keep teasing him since we're switching to Libre next season.

Kitemama has tats too, I'm not a fan to getting inked. I love girls with tramp stamps. =)

PS. Kitemama's bro is a tat artist on the island.

I still plan on getting a PL tat but probably on the right shoulder..(attempting to talk Rip into getting one with me but I fear that he is so skinny that the needle might pass right through him....lol:yes:

Now this has me wondering if anyone has any kitesurfing, buggy, atb etc... tattoos? It would be pretty sweet to have a kiting pic on my calf.

@rip if you go for the peter lynn logo you could always do multiple ones all the way around your bicep kinda like when someone gets barbed wire around the same spot :frog:

I'm not one for needles, the idea sounds cool. I might need to eat a few brownies first.
I wonder if PL would pay for the PL logo barred wire.

Question is do you like the new logo or the old logo?

Did anyone see the dude on FB that got Flexi across his belly?
Ken 1 has + years and Indian Joe on his legs.

If I go ahead with anything at this moment I want Jr's and my daughter Mia foot print on my right and left forearms. I need to hurry up since they are growing and it's going to get bigger. Hahahaha.

I've been thinking of a cool kiting tattoo myself. What would be cool that you wouldn't have to explain all the time? I thought of the usual buggy/kite silouette but that might look like a bumper sticker. I have a tribal already on my bicep (I forgot what tribe I belong to though, :rolleyes: ) and it looked really cool when I was all buff and working out 10 years ago. Now however, as I get mushy and old, its sort of sliding down my arm so I figure in a few more years it'll just fall off my hand like a loose bracelet! :no:

Seriously, though, I'd be proud to get a tat to represent kiting if anyone has a good idea--sort of a brotherhood stamp we can all get .




Hey ---UPDATE-- Got this today on my calf! It's a kanji symbol for wind! Or maybe soy sauce. :rolleyes:
