February 25, 201114 yr I noticed it's been corrected. Eric at Progressive Specialties is a pretty good dude, and I wonder how this got past him as he's usually good at catching mistakes like that. His son was on this forum for a while, then went to UPT a few years back; I can't recall what he's flying these days... Cheers! M2
February 25, 201114 yr Worth a thread revival... Once someone replies to this thread, I'll post the rest of them... Cheers! M2 Pretty sure the "Clemons" one is photoshopped. Somebody just swapped the "on" and "s". Otherwise, those tats are rad.

Not huge, but still a Dicscount!
April 11, 201213 yr Thread revival for Worst. Tattoo. Ever. Probably not the best way to capture for posterity your newborn's grasp of your thumb.... EDIT: Because I still can't figure out how to attach in the new format.... Edited April 11, 201213 yr by Jughead
April 11, 201213 yr That's pretty terrible... I was back and forth between my class crest across my back, or something with the code of conduct / airman's creed / AF symbol / out of the airman's manual... Something that says this airman is tough, yet professional. In all seriousness there is a lot of cool shit out there - I like the old fighters etc... I've been debating getting some WWII nose art on an arm - any ideas where I can find some historical examples? It's a shame we don't have it anymore. It's a nearly free way to raise esprit de corps... I think the CAF crew chiefs would be all about it too. The coolest tattoos I've seen in person have been on girls. One had the Dali elephants walking across her back and one had the where the wild things are creatures on her arm. Definitely chick stuff, but original.

Nothing says tough but professional like a tattoo. This nation is chock full of people who are tough but professional.

Words can not describe the awesomeness.
April 11, 201213 yr You laugh, but I know a loadmaster who has the Airman's Creed in Kryptonian (Superman's native tongue) on his back. Words can not describe the awesomeness. Jesus, I hope you're joking...
April 11, 201213 yr You laugh, but I know a loadmaster who has the Airman's Creed in Kryptonian (Superman's native tongue) on his back never been laid. FIFY
April 11, 201213 yr Jesus, I hope you're joking... I'm not, but I just realized I got one detail wrong. It was actually the AF Core Values.
April 11, 201213 yr Saw a kid at water survival, some enlisted back-ender geek, that had a huge glider silhouette tattoo across his entire back. Apparently he flew them in high school or something; looked like the gliders from the zoo.

April 14, 201213 yr If you've made it to this point in life without having any tattoos, you owe yourself a pat on the back. If, however, you're not so lucky, don't bother trying to convince anyone else of your tattoo's special significance (kids names, family "crests", AF insignia, barbed wire, or whatever tribal BS you picked out for your bicep)...that's what photographs & memories are for, FYI. Like it or not, there is a large segment of the population that simply dismiss your tattoo as an indicator of lacking judgement, regardless of the sincere thought & significance you've placed on it - right or wrong, that's a fact. And those people, by the way, are your present/future employers, spouses, kids, in-laws, etc...essentially the people who's opinion of you matters most. In today's world, having no tattoos is the new version of having a tattoo. It's a good thing mullets & parachute pants weren't permanent...I'm sure as hell glad the expressions of individualism I made 20 years ago aren't looking me in the mirror every morning. Well said.

April 15, 201213 yr Try not to pass too much judgement from your ivory tower. It is never ok to post man-ass. My ivory tower does not approve. Edited April 15, 201213 yr by Ram
April 15, 201213 yr It is never ok to post man-ass. I hope the guy who only got 8 toes paid less. 2 SCRIMP, I agree that your point is valid but posting man ass is a foul.
April 15, 201213 yr Since this thread has been revived, any word on the guy featured in the first post? Edited April 16, 201213 yr by Napoleon_Tanerite
April 18, 201213 yr I hope the guy who only got 8 toes paid less. Most of the guys who saw that looked away shortly thereafter. You took the time to count toes. Just sayin'.
April 18, 201213 yr Most of the guys who saw that looked away shortly thereafter. You took the time to count toes. Just sayin'. It takes a couple extra seconds to come up with a good joke. Try it.
April 19, 201213 yr I had an old school Vietnam-era Chief Pilot in the reserves that wouldn't hire you if you had a tattoo. He was a great dude but that was just his thing....
