Tats are great because there's a story that goes with each one. Even if it's part of a whole sleeve or theme.

I was going to start a thread when I get mine finished. I have one more session but I think it still looks pretty good now. I'll condense for times sake.

My story is that about a year and a half ago, I had chest pains that i could not ignore. (good thing too) I went in, had the angioplasty and found five blockages. Blocked @ 95%, 2@ 75% and 3 @ 65-50%. Had five stents put in and felt lucky to have caught it when we did. Had not had a heart attack, but knew I had been a given a second chance in life.

I've since lost 50lbs, and and getting healthy(er) again.

A few months after the procedures my wife and I were riding a friends vtx and stopped to rest our butts @ an HD dealership and jff decided to test ride an 04 Heritage....We left on our first Harley. (in the sig) The wife saw how I was drooling over it and knew I had always wanted one so she insisted that we should get it. The comp T-shirts they gave us had the slogan: "Harley Davidson-Life Begins When You Get One". And that turned out to be a pretty meaningful statement to us as our lives had been through many changes that year. The bike being a BIG part of that.

Had been putting off getting my second tat for 10 years because I honestly couldn't come up with a design I wanted to see every day for the rest of my life. Here is what I came up with:




Sorry the pic isn't great as it must've gotten washed out on the top part by the sun.

 

I got this one in Colorado Springs real cool shop called Pens and Needles artist's name at bottom (not on Tattoo lol)

 

I need a tattoo.

Been saying that for about thirty years now. Seems like when I bring it up I get that raised eyebrow look that my wife has perfected oh so well.

It's in my bucket list. Maybe I need to surprise her.

 

just go do it, it's easier to say i'm sorry than to ask for permission.

 

here's my latest. I'll leave it to you to figure out how it ties to my ride!

 

I've gotten (2) tatts & both of them Harley themed. Some may think that's stupid but for me, I like em & to hell with what anyone thinks. I wanted to show my love for my bike or I guess I should say riding a Harley. I'm on my 3rd Harley & ohnestly can't imagine not having a Harley the rest of my life. To each their own.....

 

Thats sweet! I like it!

 

thanks, I have quite a few, this is the first one that is tied to my bike.

 

Right over my heart! lol

 

Here is one I had done last year. Not of my bike but Harley Davidson "Spike".
