It bled quite a bit when I first got it, for a few days, but it's no problem at all now.

A tattoo on your palm will ink out in weeks. You're supposed to avoid creases in your skin aka around joints, because they will disappear in no time.

No bass related tattoos, yet. But I am contemplating doing F-holes (as in the holes on the top of an upright bass) on my stomach. I've got the itch that only the needle can scratch; and I get paid friday.

Dustklose, you don't play trombone, do you? I saw a picture of a guy holding a trombone once with that exact same tat (placement, too)... I think it was taken during a marching band rehearsal. I wonder if it was you!

You would have to be retarded to get a bass tattoo. I think it is funny that some of you would admit to that.

I don't mean to offend, but what was the artist thinking? Please don't tell me that you or one of your friends did this.

Edit: On second thought, that might be the better option. I would hate to think that there is a tattoo artist out there somewhere that has this kind of work and calls himself a professional.

I personally can't see why anyone would have a bass tattoo on their arm.
Especially if the tattoo clearly identifies the manufacturer of the bass.
Let alone have the tag of a certain company as a tattoo.

But then, I don't need to understand it.
If it's what they want and are happy with it, all the best to them!!
Let's just hope that, as with any tattoo, they go to a good tattooist to have it done.

I almost like the basscleff tho, or f-holes.
