As I've told, uhm, ladies, in bars once or twice, I have a full body Leopard tattoo. I point to the wall of freckles on my forearms and say,"See the spots ? A couple have even asked for proof that's it's a full body tat.  :smt002   
Don't need any more, even if they are cool looking fish tats.

Not a fishing tattoo, but I am hoping to get one like the ones Piscean design.

Nice - that NCKA logo at the top of the page (Ling w/ paddle & rod) would make a pretty sweet tattoo (minus the 'Nor Cal').

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
Are you talking about Milton Love?  With fish tats? that's crazy and awesome at the same time.

Yup, Dr Milton Love at UCSB.
When he was my advisor he had just gotten his cowcod tattoo. Now he has at least one more rockfish tat. He has pics on his website.

Ravensblack, I don't see a paddle in the water with the Eskimo. Is he in a Hobie??
I saw this one on Archery Talk and thought is was very well done. Very creative and fits the theme of what he loves as well.

I second that.  Got a bulldog and "USMC" on a drunken night in San Diego immediately after graduating from MCRD.  I was only 18, so had my excuse.  It was way more painful to have removed using a laser when I'd outgrown it and wanted to set a good example for my kids.  Something to consider...if you do get one, don't do colors, colors are much much harder to remove.
