Tattoos, pinstripes, or other art

Oldsguy · February 19th, 2009, 03:31 PM

Ok, here is a barely disguised, yes even flagrant attempt to show off my newest tattoo. But hey, at least I am honest about it? So what about your works of art? It took me five months and four settings to finish this one, life gets in the way like that. It is based on a song I like by a local Christian group from II Samuel chapter 22 verse 9 to be exact but the whole chapter is cool. I call it "God's Wrath". I found the original image in a library book of old artwork by Italian artists in the 11th century.

Oh, I took the pictures myself and my hand was up so the background is upside down.

Olds64 · February 19th, 2009, 05:14 PM

That turned out well!

Make sure you don't take a picture of that "Welcome Aboard" tattoo that you told me about. I DEFINITELY don't want to know about that part of your Navy experience.

Oldsguy · February 19th, 2009, 06:03 PM

Ha, ha, ha.

Jamesbo · February 20th, 2009, 07:07 AM

I like this one better. North Georgia mountains

citcapp · February 20th, 2009, 09:50 AM

Ok Dan, Whats the rest of the story.

Olds64, if you Dad does not fess up you have to tell the story

Jokers69 · February 20th, 2009, 09:53 AM

thats crazy.. I'm due for some new ink one of these days.

Olds64 · February 20th, 2009, 11:18 AM

I was just giving him a hard time.

Oldsguy · February 20th, 2009, 11:21 AM

Pat, it's a Navy joke, you know...all those sailors on board a ship with no women and all. Put that image with the term "tramp stamp". You get the picture.
Jokers, show us your ink.

Jamesbo · February 20th, 2009, 11:27 AM

I'm gonnna log off and go turn on "Dog The Bounty Hunter"

Lady72nRob71 · February 21st, 2009, 06:58 AM

Here is one of my favorites from the late 80's
- Definetily body art in good taste!

citcapp · February 21st, 2009, 09:40 AM

Jamsbo, you just want to goggle at Dog's wife

442much · February 21st, 2009, 12:34 PM

Cool...you could also call it "Armed and Dangerous"

ent72olds · February 24th, 2009, 06:03 PM

I like it Dan, the dude with the mullet from the '80's with the 442 haircut very creative, but that grows back...does anyone have anything as dedicated (or maybe stupid!

) as this! Each car has my girls' bithdate as the plate #! And I put their names as if I am naming the cars (like they did in the old days of racing) on the sides....I happen to like them!

easytobedead · February 24th, 2009, 08:34 PM

well i will be getting my first tat soon {:

Oldsguy · February 25th, 2009, 06:10 AM

Erik, nice ink. I think they both show continuity of thought versus some tattoos I have seen that show no thought at all. Girls want a butterfly on their ankle, guys want a butterfly knife piercing a skull on their bicep....what kind of thought goes behind those?

Easy, what are you thinking about for your tattoo?

Finally, any other forms or art to share? Pinstripping? Metalwork? Paint projects? Anything?

Brizio · February 27th, 2009, 08:56 AM

I like tattoo, but I don't have any. Will see in the future...

But for now I made by myself 3 branding.

Jamesbo · June 23rd, 2009, 12:19 PM

Ok for you ink fans, here's the creme de la creme.

Reminds me of the first time I saw a girl wearing a "Guess" T shirt.

I walked up to her and said, "Implants?" ...................She slapped me.

Oldsguy · June 23rd, 2009, 02:03 PM

Yeah, I've seen implants before on the head but not on the soft tissue in the arm or leg. Interesting...
I met someone the other day at a local cigar store in the smoking lounge. He had the most tattoos I have ever seen in person, plus he had multiple peircings on his eyebrows and ears. Probably people have seen images on television or on the internet but it was quite interesting to meet someone live. An unexpected fact was that he was probably 50 years old, he started over twenty years ago. I didn't ask him what he did to make a living but it included travel. He had to go to London on a business trip the next day and ordered four hand crafted belt knives from another person while we were in the lounge so he must make some dough whatever it is he does. The knives were $400 to $600 each.

I have another tattoo in the works right now but it isn't finished yet so I will wait to post a picture when it is.
Still no pinstripes or other forms of craftsmanship or art?

citcapp · June 23rd, 2009, 06:08 PM

Sorry, but thats just wrong. Not against tat's but thats just wrong. Did I say thats just wrong

Hairy Olds · June 23rd, 2009, 08:27 PM

No tats but I do make Oldsmobile stained glass.

DAN76 · June 24th, 2009, 02:48 AM

Glad to see you're ink fans as well!

Here's mine.
It's the old Rob Roskopp skateboard graphic from early 1990's Santa Cruz days.
Needless to say, skateboarding has played a huge part in my life.

Still got to add colour but you get the idea....

I donno...ask hairy olds. He's the dude with all the talant

. I might have to find out where he lives and bang on his door for lessons. My Grandfather does stained glass too but with work and he is getting way up there...I just don't want to bother him.

on a side note...how is that 48 coming?

MN71W30 · June 24th, 2009, 02:21 PM

Hey Dan,
Man that some scary ink. I read the chapter and it captures the mood of it well. I'm not into the whole tatoo thing, especially on Women. When I rob a bank or liquor store I would hate to be so easliy identified. All they'll be able to say is he left in an Oldsmobile.

442_Mustang · June 24th, 2009, 04:26 PM

Does this tatoo count??? Got the ghost skulls in the background and everything!

Sorry Chad I don't give lessons to anyone not even my kids. I can be taught but I have no patience to teach.

aholiday · July 13th, 2009, 06:48 AM

Oldsguy · July 13th, 2009, 07:26 AM
