Three people in the parlor asked me if it was my "first" tattoo, ya know, like i'm gonna get more. Are these things addictive? You guys got any? Theres nothing more important than FREEDOM |

Cool, I spent a little time in the Marine Corps overseas. The only Marines I ever met with one tattoo had just gotten their first and were waiting for liberty to go get the next one. I have a few myself. I'd have more but they cost too much on this side of the ocean. Steve |

got four. 1, Harley Davidson "wings" 2, comedy and tragedy, it was at the time an Army joke (long story), and i also took it from Motley Crue's "Theater of Pain" album cover. 3, Confederate Flag, drawn by the artist, and then "destroyed" so it could not be repeated, one of a kind type of thing. 4, barbed wire. all are "above the short sleeve line". i choose to do that so no one knows i have them, unless i choose to show them. something my dad said i should do. it's been 10 years since i've got one (was in the army when i got the last one) and i'm thinking of a "patriotic" tat for my next one. yeah, i guess they are addictive. some people think they're ugly, but then again, we all have a choice, right? colt, out.

I have the great seal on the backs of my calves (pyramid on left, eagle on right) and liberty and justice with an eagle background on my upper left arm. I have more, but my most recent are the best. For anyone thinking of getting one, don't go the played out "tribal" solid black route. Please. You will bore the shit out of the artist, and get a bad tattoo almost every time. |
| I have four. I have a tribal band around my left upper arm, a sun taken from an engraving by Durer on my right arm, a moon taken from a tarot card on my left shoulder blade, and a scarlet and black heart on my right shin. I plan to get additional work done on the heart. |

I have: 1. an "Eagle Globe and Anchor" -on top of my left hand (non-saluting hand). 2. the "meat tag": SS#, Blood type and Gas mask size -on upper rib-cage. 3. Crossed M16's flanked by "03"(infantry) with a ribbon wrapped around it which says: "fortes fortuna juvat"(fotune favors the bold).-on bicep |

Yes, they're addictive.<(the dragon on my back says it all. He cradles the Yin-Yang close to his chest, with the 15th century Chinese water below him, and lapping red flames above him. He is rolling through, protecting the Balance, through fire and ice. I've done my part, that of an artist in firearms, and made sure that this art will not die.>> Kurt/KKF |
