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.

 

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.

 

Ha, ha, ha.

 

I like this one better. North Georgia mountains

 

Ok Dan, Whats the rest of the story.

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

 

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

 

I was just giving him a hard time.

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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!

 

well i will be getting my first tat soon {:

 

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?

 

I like tattoo, but I don't have any. Will see in the future... But for now I made by myself 3 branding.

 

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.

 

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?

 

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

 

No tats but I do make Oldsmobile stained glass.

 

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....

Always wanted to learn how to do that.

 

csstrux,

Ok yopu got me hooked, so where do I sign up to get one of these for my bar? and how much?

 

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?

 

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.

 

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.

ok no pinstripes on the car... yet, but here are some on my bikes. The yellow tandem was a gift for my wife on our anniversary. when life gives you lemons...make lemonade (with cool pinstripes).

 

here is some more bike pics, more with tattoos coming later.

 

you pull some nice lines. Look forward to seeing more of your work...on cars.

 

No tats,No stain glass........LOl I do neon clocks.....

Can't see your site for some reason. Las Vegas is a couple days drive from Kansas City. So post some of your stuff here.

 

My first "real" deck was the Rob Roskopp full face. Thanks for the memories. I did my first ollie on that board

 

Dan76 that is a sweet tattoo. It's also cool there is other guys out there who skate/ed and are into olds.

 

I'm a big fan of ink. I've got a multitude , Ex-Navy, biker in both scenes, etc.
This is my latest that I have to finish with a giant Celtic cross down the center by Fitto Airbrush design in Montreal

You're thinking of a Submarine.

Most of the ships in the fleet today and for the past 15-20 years have had women on them. (Navy Vet)

 

Very cool works of art there Hairy Olds.
Hell I'm curious what size those are and cost ? This one and the 1st one caught my eyes.

 

I just got this tattoo last Wednesday. It's a memorial tattoo for my dad. He passed away when I was 21. The tat is of the car he had. He let me work on it with him, and we rebuilt the engine together and when I was 18 he gave it to me. I still have to get it colored in in a few weeks when it's completely healed. It's going to be gold with a white top.

 

Very nice work. I can tell by the lines that the artist is going to try for that high gloss reflective look which by the way is hard to achieve on skin. I think it will be great. Looks like the Cutlass is a '71.
