attn: Awesome bass tattoo (not)

Sign in to disble this ad
I found this rather dodgy tattoo on google, but it was listed as being at TB. So I guess it's old news! But anyway, I'm guessing it's never been seen here before. Whats going on with that bass!



Think before you pay, guys!

If memory serves it was a member here and there was discussion of it already.

That sounds about right. How come you remember and I don't, I've been here longer!

Yeah that poor guy got clowned so hard for having that tattoo. I felt pretty bad for him. Thanks for posting this and making him relive his nightmare

Will there be Qintar jokes? Will Ed Fuqua be mentioned?

I was talking to a tattoo artist I know and he said one of the most difficult things to do is to draw really straight lines (like say the strings on a bass) and so he would turn down requests that he thought wouldn't come out well.

That said, I don't really understand that tattoo for a couple other reasons.

Yeah, a bass is a really hard thing to draw. It's got straight lines, it's hard to get the proportion right etc etc...

And here at talkbass, I think we're the most critical eyes around!

Yeah, like how he's gonna feel about the tattoo if he ever learns how to play bass. The guy with the tattoo that is, not Fieldy.

He's back you know, but has thus far avoided Off Topic.

At the risk of being out of line, it seems in poor taste to make a second unsolicited attack on a member of our forum's permanent body modification.

Also, I always was under the impression that the artwork was intentionally stylized.

Again, I didn't realise it was a TB'ers tattoo and I apologise for any undue offence caused. As a tattoo, I don't think it's great, but that is irrelevant because it does not adorn my body.

My understanding is that this type of mockery is why Mr. Cool Ice stopped posting here. Legend has it that his bass playing is as funky as his tattoos.

You have a tattoo then you invite peoples' comments according to their perception of it...



What is that?

...is usually what people say.
