First tattoo

So I finally got my first tattoo at 38. I figured you folks might appreciate it

Wait until you try to tie that on yer tippet

Wish I waited til I was 38 to start choosing my tattoos. But 18yr old me couldn't be convinced I'd have better ideas later.

Proud to say, at 62 and nary a one…

That's awesome!

I had an offer from an ex girlfriend to pay for a tattoo on my butt. It was to say: "TROUT BUM". I'm still mildly tempted.

When I was a teen , mom said she would disown me if I got a tattoo, probably the only time I listened to her back then . 56 and still no tats!

In 1969 I arrived in Yokosuka, Japan as a Navy Radioman. The Bowden brothers were shipmates of mine, both of them inked on their arms with the names of their girlfriends. Ya know, a with the girls name (uh, names) under the heart. I think the older brother had three names crossed out and was running out of arm space for a new name.

Have a steelhead/rainbow trout tatted on my right back shoulder. Nobody sees it until summer...
Was thinking of Tweety Bird pushing a lawnmower in the groin area, but after the shoulder tattoo, I changed my mind.

I was 35 when I got my first and only tattoo. Red-tailed hawk soaring on my shoulder. Free spirit thing.
My 18 yr old daughter wants her first, my wife and I agreed if we all got the same..
Compromise.

Wouldn't that be redundant?
