Mike01 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) Here's mine Took two sittings and eight hours to complete. Edited April 18, 2008 by Mike01
mepps Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) That is BEAUTIFUL man! great colours! I've got a marlin tattoo of my own, but its a very simply one in B&W as a memorial to my father. This is an image from shortly after it was done (note the redness) Edited April 18, 2008 by mepps
Mike01 Posted April 18, 2008 Author Report Posted April 18, 2008 Cool....not many people around these parts even know what a marlin is. I always get "cool swordfish"!!
DanTheMan Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 Its funny you ask this, mine is getting scretch as we speak.Its going to be something really different though,He's going to make my tat of me fishing from my boat and I have a walleye on the end on my line and with me wearing my Habs jersey. I cant wait to see how it will look
Mike01 Posted April 18, 2008 Author Report Posted April 18, 2008 thats sounds really cool, when are you getting it?
DanTheMan Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 Not 100% sure when, I guess when he is done making it, I will go check it out,and If I like, make a day and then get it.This will be my first tat ever, so I am a bit nervous
Mike01 Posted April 18, 2008 Author Report Posted April 18, 2008 Its more annoying than anything. Is it going on your arm?
mepps Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 The back isnt too bad from what I hear, mine was done on my ribs, but only took a couple hours so it wasnt bad at all. I have one planned on my stomach that I'll hopefully get in the next month or two.
Mike01 Posted April 18, 2008 Author Report Posted April 18, 2008 Its all in where the nerve endings are...if you pinch yourself you can get an idea of where it will hurt more. I thought it was going to be a lot worse than it actually was.
highdrifter Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 AWESOME!! Clive, I'm thinking of using your pike skull for a tat on my left shoulder... perty please?! Oh man that marlin is totally radsick.. thanx for the inspiration. HD
misfish Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 I need Gerritt or Cool B, to help me here. There was a fellow member here way back that had an amazing tattoo on his leg. It started at his ankle and went up past his knee. It was a grerat work of art in the works. Sorry his name escapes me.
addict Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 thats my handle fishtat2 got more photos but my computer is way to slow to transfer to photo bucket its a freshwater sleeve smallmouth,largemouth,musky,walleye perch sunfish and a pile of structure

It started at his ankle and went up past his knee. It was a grerat work of art in the works.Sorry his name escapes me. awwww now you have gone and done it Brian... it is on the tip of my tongue.. it was a nice trout sleeve.. dang now this is going to bug me... I have several tattoos all have different meanings.. however none that are fishing related at the moment... by far the most painful one was a custom dragon i have done on my chest (Back when I was fighting) and the dragons claw is VERY close to my nipple... other then that i resemble it to a prolonged cat scratch when I describe the sensation.. and the longer it continues the number you get to it. I found outlining to be a tad more intense then the shading for sure. G
mepps Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 (edited) You mean this one HD?? Heres a couple beauties people have sent in to FF... This one is my favorite trout tattoo ever... And heres one of our logo on one of our writers! Edited April 19, 2008 by mepps
addict Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 nice tats so far would love to see more.everbody says the outline hurts the most but i found the shading a little rough especially near the armpit going over the same spot again and again.the outline is fast run the neddle over it once.
Mike01 Posted April 19, 2008 Author Report Posted April 19, 2008 going over the same spot SUCKS at first...but after a while you can't feel it anymore!!
addict Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 (edited) going over the same spot SUCKS at first...but after a while you can't feel it anymore!! trust me if u got the marlin on the inside of your arm u would feel it the top outside of the arm is quite pleasaurable compared to the backside.

Daplumma Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Sorry guys..I will never get the whole tattoo thing and I was in the navy.To each his own but visable tattoos pretty much screw you for upper management and many other things.I dont think my customers would let me in the door with one.If you have figured out a way to balance your "self expression" and a way to support your family ,more power to you.Dang,I miss my long hair but sadly,its like having a tattoo.Tinman,thats a kickass tat. Joe
Tarzan's Jane Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 I have to agree with Daplumma...which is quite sad though cuz those are really nice, tasteful tattoos...the single B&W Marlin is my favourite, but the colours on the others are very nice and well done.
wallyboss Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Mine says I Love Fishing, wouldv'e been to Redneck to write it in English.

Joe I guess if you go topless and walk in backwards , ya, that would not be cool to customers
Tinman Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 mine is on my sholder blade out of site, not that i would be concerned if it did show. i'm not upper management material lol Thanks Daplumma
