Have you seen the ones that look like a fish hook stuck in the skin?

One of the best fish tattoo I've seen is a fish head with a partially open mouth. The fish is facing down, with the mouth being a part of a female's body. The tattoo looks good and was tastefully done. If I could only post the picture here without getting in trouble, I would.   :smt003

If I got one, it would be a Dungeness smoking a cigar.

I've got two tattoos with a fishing element/theme... A Polynesian tribal hook with my wedding date done on my maui honeymoon last summer. The second is a family crest I designed with my brothers and dad. Just as we finished the design my grandfather on dads side passed away. He was an avid fisherman so his ashes were spread during a fishing trip to a lake that will remain unnamed. As my dad and uncle were pulling into the cove that would be his final resting place a copycat needlefish got hammered by a monster rainbow. My dad swears it was a sign or message from my grandpa... So we includes his fish into the crest... Will post pics after work

I don't have any fish themed tattoo's but I do have bamboo all over my right leg from the knee down to the ankle.

I was thinking of doing a full back piece under water, but what I really want is a dragon hanging on to my back with it's claws dug in with the head and neck coming over my shoulder on to my chest with the tail wrapping down around my left leg.  Might just start that one this summer.
So long and thanks for all the fish!!!

Hmmm, while I like Tat's on others :smt003 I can't say I want one or the pain that goes along with getting one...  :smt012 Had some cool temp ones done in the past for fun but needle and ink are a bad combo for me! :smt065 :smt108 :smt095 :smt095 :smt095
my new name should be Ostridge. Got my head in the sand. Going fishing and letting go of the other stuff I can't control anyway!

Have a friend with that exact one. Took her a long time to get it colored. Too much pain for me.

Dr Love, my thesis advisor in college got a couple of rockfish tattoos. They are cool.

I've always wanted some ink, but I have trouble sitting still for a haircut. Considered doing it myself as an artistic project since I personally only want black work (at least to start) but it is pretty far down my giant list of potential projects :smt003

I pray it is not a divers flag.  MY buddy was going to get one of those in the tramp stamp location.  And asked him, Are you really sure you want to let people know that there is someone down below that?
So long and thanks for all the fish!!!

No fish tattoos here either, but maybe in the future.  All I have is a large Bornio scorpion tribal tattoo on the right side of my skull. :smt003  I have an old picture of it somewhere, but my hair usually covers it.
