show us your bass tattoo's

I'm having my singer design a bass cleff tattoo for me, because she's good at art. In a couple of years (15 now) if I still think it's a good idea, I'll take that design, get it professionally re-done, and get it tattooed somewhere. I'm thinking my wrist. How is this for job placement? How bad does it actually hurt to get a tattoo? I'm a wuss. lol.

However, I never wanted a tattoo until I considered what could mean something to me. Even if I put the bass down the day after I got it, the tattoo would represent a big part of my life, and that means something to me.

Every tattoo that I get hurts worse than the last one.

First, it's real, if you look how it's shiny, weeping and the hair around is shaved.

Second, I have 11 or 12 tattoos and no that wouldn't be one of them, but to each his/her own. (Corporate tattoos as I call them, none can be seen even in a short sleeved shirt)

Third for all the tattoo haters, we can have them removed if we so choose, what about that face you have to look at in the mirror every morning?

If you want to give a negative comment on someone's tattoo who either was proud or brave enough to post it, how about posting something personal that we can ridicule as well.

+1 very well put dude! Fieldy was what inspired me to play bass instead of guitar. All that percussive noise he creates is amazing!....well everything from Issues album and eariler that is.

I haven't been on here in forever, lol. I was searching for a tattoo idea and this thread came up. I forgot about this site :P

Anyway, I have a bass clef outline on my inner arm that I plan on getting filled in. It scarred slighty (the artist has a good rep, so I believe it is my skin, which doesn't usually heal well) but it's not easily noticable.

I plan on getting a full-sleeve of the song Orion by Metallica, with the sheet music wrapped in a spiral pattern around my other arm. That might run me into some serious money, though.
