I was SURE I'd made this thread already, I possibly have, I'm just very sleepy.

Airsofters, I've noticed, often have tattoos, one or more.

I've only got one:

Pictured the day I had it done, at an angle that makes my leg look well fat (It's all muscle). It's a poem that my sister wrote a short while before she had a fatal accident on the road (long time ago, when I was a kid). It's a dedication to her memory and also in a way a bit of a thank you. Her not being here, I feel, has helped craft me into the person I am today, and for that I'm eternally grateful.

I'm looking at having several more, I just feel mixed on it. They need to have meaning so as not to devalue my first tattoo, but then the designs I have so far aren't quite as viable meaning-wise as the one pictured above.

Anyways! Let's see what you've got folks :D

For forums' sake, Spoiler tag them if they're not PG13 friendly etc in design or location

As you can see, I'm a bit of a Welsh nationalist :)

 
Next up is a grenade with blood on it so it looks like a yin yang then maybe a Koi

Bit of a necropost here but ive just done 7 hours in the chair so thought i would share it.

The photo doesnt do it justice in the slightest as it was taken with a phone.

I've managed to get to the grand old age of 49 without any but my Wife and 24YO Daughter have some.....I will not be posting Photos of them so don't ask :lol:

 
A work in progress.... It is gonna take some time at £70p/hr but the artist I use it is worth it! :-)



This is what it is taken from:



 
I've got 7 in total

Neck - tigers head for my old regiment

Left shoulder - wolf head & skeleton hand

Left inner forearm - my eldest sons initials w/birth date

Right inner forearm - my 2nd sons initials w/birth date

Right forearm - an eagle

Right rear forearm - tribal tattoo

Bottom right leg - 8 black ball & cue stick with a scroll

2 more to be done are my daughters initials & a dragonfly with my youngest sons name & birth date as he died just before he was born :(

Just waiting for my sleeve to heal and I'll get some pics up shortly.
It was to cover up 4 younger life mistakes so I'm pretty happy with it.
