I looked up that Welsh name and found this. Beautiful!

It's not that big Cliff

Sheesh...I fainted when I had my ears pierced!
I can't imagine have a little needle jabbing into me enough to do a tat! I'd be in a coma

It didn't hurt Bren. Seriously, I nearly fell asleep!

Sorry about your bro. I'm sure he watching over you as you ride.

but thats one of the things tattoos help us do.... over come. I know many people who have tattoos in memory of loved ones. thank you for sharing

Thanks,
I just need a chest to put it on lol.
I'm very impressed with the different types and styles of the Tats on display.
I also have a small cartoon red dragon on my shoulder (my welsh heritage). I got that really by default.
My older Bro had just joined the Army and wanted a Tat. So we went for a few beers and waited in the only Tattoo place in town for 5 hours. My brother chickened out and I didn't want to have all that time wasted lol.

I have one tattoo I made with needle and thread with India ink when I was 18. I want to get it covered.

I met a guy once at a pow wow here in SoCal. His name is Dennis Avner (Cat Man). We started talking about why he had his face tattooed. He was a really nice person. He gave me the inside story. I met him a couple of times at other events like SCA (society for creative anachronism) etc. His tattoos had really become intense as well as his body modifications. Some people are squeemish about this stuff and if you ever search body modification you might want to make sure you have your search filters on because it can get very intense.

Meet Cat Man!

That's very extreme,
He should just convert to Buddhism and wait for reincarnation.

Have never had one. If I ever get one it will be in honor of a loved one and not just some stupid design that means nothing like most tattoos I have seen.

Now don't get me wrong or anything, as I don't claim to be an expert.
In my limited exposure to people with skin art.i Each one [tattoo] tells a unique and individual story. Part of the point of a Tat is that they mean nothing to anyone else other than the owner.

Hate my tattoo. Got it when I was big in to DJing. It's (if you are old enough to remember) one of those plastic inserts you get in old single records. I wanted something that nobody else had and had something to do with mixing.
Still have my decks and all my records but my love for biking is now far greater. I just look at it as a chapter in my life.

 

[Vertigo]

Just one on my left shoulder.

 

[franklin5-0]

I have one, tribal infinity knot from shoulder blade to shoulder blade across my back, its to remind me to be strong even when you think no one is looking. I have a few more planned just have to find an artist I trust.

 

[LadyDi]

My bike is being made to match the cherry blossoms on my tattoo. here is a pic of my tattoo, and my custom tank pad

I plan on a similar design on my fairings when they arrive!

 

[Spideyrex]

Cool, love the hummingbirds!

I voted "no, never" but only because there was not a "I don't think I will ever" choice. Never say never.
Like others, even if it was a design I liked NOW, how can I be sure I would still want it 10, 20, 30, 40 years later? The exception to this, which thankfully I have not yet needed to consider, is the loss of a very close loved one. I might consider one in their honor.
Some of these are very amazing work by some talented tattoo artists. Thanks for sharing!

You are not the only one that regrets their choice. I have a friend with a "dig it" frog, and another with a "chilly willy" penguin. LOL

yep just got my 2nd one about a month ago. first one is a sun i designed more or less because everything i like to do involves outdoors and spent a lot of time at beaches. the 2nd is a lifestyle really that i've been using and then i heard it put into words by Rise Against i put on my side. it says, "how we survive is what makes us who we are. agree that the ink should have some meaning to you personally but to each his own i guess.

I'm a huge, huge Calvin & Hobbes fan, so I got the one that was published on my birthday, July 12th, 1988.
