After considering a tattoo for 35 years, I've decided on a small simple trident - maybe 3.25" tall, upper arm. As I do enjoy swimming, bobbing, treading, floating, water resistance exercises.

If anyone has a non-Navy trident tattoo, can you post it? Any any other tattoos you'd like to share? Thanks - w

Get a "Hot Stuff" tat on yer ass cheek...

I've got over 144 Square Inches of Skin Grafts and over 400 stitches on me plus half a little toe is missing.

I figure that's enough disfigurement.

My son in law is covered in them with the exception of his face. So far. He's a good guy but a little rough around the edges at times and drinks more than he should now and again.
He's works in the trades and holds a master license in his trade. I've called him the illustrated man and he looks at me like I have two heads. Clearly doesn't get the reference.

I try not to judge him by it but I'd be lying if sometimes when I see him without a shirt and in shorts while we are swimming at the lake I'm like wtf? I just don't understand the reasoning but that's not his fault I guess.

The nephew I disowned for constantly running cons on me to get more money for himself is covered in tattoos except for his face.

It's so bad that when he went into the Navy Reserves years ago, they stripped him naked and took pictures of his entire body. They told him if he got just one more tattoo, he'd be drummed out of the Navy.

His permanent job is as a prison guard at a local prison. He was told when he got the job that due to the large amount of tattoos he has, he was to wear a long sleeved t-shirt under his uniform short sleeved shirt.

That's all pretty bad, but he thinks the Navy and the prison are wrong and he's right.

It is interesting how a guy who's constantly getting cars repoed and his home foreclosed on still has plenty of money for tattoos.

It's got to be a mental problem.

I don't have a trident, but I do have a very abstract propeller, anchor and compass.

As she ages, that elegant butterfly becomes a pterodactyl.

Saw a guy on gutfeld. He said IF he got a neck tattoo it would say " I didn't get the job did I?"

Worked with a guy that had "my name" and "your name" on each butt cheek. He'd tell people, " I'll bet you $100 I've got your name tatood on my butt". He won several hundred like that.

Who was the guy two barstools down that lost the bet "I bet you $200 that I can get Mr. Macho sitting on the other side of me to drop his drawers right here in the bar."

Favorite Tats war story: I was sent to a bar fight and on arrival, it was two drunk females fighting in the parking lot. The dispute was over which one of the two had the better rack. The observing crowd demanded that I be the judge in resolving the matter. As a duly sworn public servant I agreed. Shirts went up so I could observe the items in question.
Contestant 1 had inked over her left boob "Harley" and over the right "Davidson".
Contestant 2 had inked over her left boob "Hot" and over the right "cold".
I ruled for hot / cold for originality and creativity. The H-D thing had been done to death.
I am available for further contest judging if the need arises!

"Trialer Trash" across both cheeks

I don't like tattoos either, guys, but let's have respect for Woodman's question and allow him and others to discuss the subject of this thread, without interference or snarky remarks.

Don’t have a trident

However, I have the first two of 4 or 5 sessions scheduled in a couple weeks for a lower leg sleeve. Designed to be a memorial piece to my parents and grandparents. Will be nautical themed on outer leg morphing into more an alpine mountainous theme inside

I'm not into tattoos at all, but I refereed hockey with a guy that had his deceased dad's initials tatted above his ankle. I thought that was pretty cool and a lasting memory/tribute to his dad.

If you think you'll like it, go for it. I've no issue with tats. I just don't like neck and face tattoos, or full sleeves. Most I see make zero sense. I have one I got in the Navy at 19 years old, which honestly I wish I didn't have. But it's small and upper arm so only visible if I go shirt off and it's so faded after all these years, many people (including the surgeon that worked on me for 10 hours and nurses) ask what the hell it is.

I have a gecko on my right shoulder, I got when I got divorced and the gecko was my kids favorite toy-so it would be a reminder of him to me. My other one keeps asking why I don’t have an elephant for him.
So I’ve been looking around for a shop to see ..

I was a sailor and I wouldn’t get a trident unless it also had king Neptune, buts that’s me. I have been also thinking of a compass rose for several years but decided I’d get the elephant first. I’ve sailed around 25000+nautical miles, so I could get a flock of swallows (in the old days you got one for every 5000nm).

What the hell is it?

My post was in jest, and this was what I was meaning.
(I did not realize until a bit ago, that my earlier reply could be misunderstood as to what "Hot Stuff" meant)



I am not a "hater" of tats.

(I have a few)

Why not a porpoise?
Trident is a weapon, the porpoise seems to be more along the lines of your activity.

or, a porpoise and a trident?
