Just wondering if anybody on the board has any salmon or steelhead tattoos. If you do have fishin' tats, then where did you get them done?

Thanks

Justin

The ONLY place in seattle to get tattoos done is slave to the needle. Its in ballard, ask for damon or christopher gay. They are expensive but when its for life, whats money? Every artist there is world reknown for there talent in tattoo work. Each have won numerous awards. I have a few tattoos, my first and favorite is a tribal salmon somewhat like the BARE logo on my sholder. I have a few friends who are tattoo freaks and they will tell you as well, its the only place to go. The work they do is awsome, I've been stoked every time I've left. Oh and dont go drunk or on pills they wont work on you, its store policy.

Got a big Chinook on my left thigh that was engraved right next door to the Great Alaska Bush Company in Anchorage and please don't tell my Wife!!!

I have a huge tat of a steely on my entire rib cage!! OUCH!!!! I do tats ,e-mail me and make an apointment.

Justin, I got a native american salmon on my right forearm, that is how most people figure out who I am , but definately cool!!
I personally because I love there artwork would stick with something in the lines of the northwest coast indian art stuff becasue it is very good looking, classy and true to form. And definately slave to the needle is an excellent choice of places to go, they have won many awards!!!! good luck

A freind of mine does excellent native american artwork of all salmon & steelhead species.If your interested let me know & i,ll talk to him and see what he says.

I've always thought it would be neat to get a salmon/steelhead tattoo also. I have yet to see one I would get though. It would be pretty easy to get a native art type but I have never seen even a picture of a realistic salmon type that would make a good tatto . I'm always afraid it would look like one of those salmon stickers guys put on there canopy back windows or a trout in rigid profile. Any body got any ideas on where to come up with a picture to copy(keeping in mind potential copyright infringments) or some good tatto flash?
Here is the address of the tatto shop web page you were talking about. http://www.slavetotheneedle.com/

I like the big hook nosed silver on the WDFW

I have a big steelhead jumping out of a pool below a water fall with rocks and everything and a bald eagle catching it on my left shoulder

Thanks, guys. Glad to hear that there are so many of you with fishing artwork on ya already. I think that the Native American tats are awesome, I like the one that Superfly has, forgot you had that one, man. Now all I have to do is find a women to get a fish tatoo to match...NOT!! Can't wait to be a slave to the needle.

I hear the NABISCO tattoo is very popular these days.

Parker

Have a buddy that has about a 4/0 gamakatsu through the skin on his upper arm with a 6 inch piece of line attached to it (ya it's a tatto).

Better be carful Justin. If you get drunk up at the Ranch sometime and Parker is there, you might wake up with a banana tatooed on you somewhere!

Always thought the fish skeleton and 'SPAWN TILL YOU DIE' would be pretty cool, but....

Beezer, Parker knows better than to try anything with me when I'm drunk at the Ranch. The Sasquatches up there do enough damage to me as it is.

Please note: Anybody who tries to tattoo a banana or a Ritz cracker on me better have a tattoo on their forehead that reads "I am suicidal" *LOL*JK*

Many things can happen under the Cover of Darkness!

See you at Nuttin' but plugs!


Until then, I'm goin' hoggin'!!!

I have the fish skeleton, and "Fear No Fish"

Gimmiefish, where did you get that done?

I am also thinking about having a nude blonde on my arm holding a fin-clipped steelhead. Than I'd have my two favorite passtimes covered.

What do you call two good-looking young blondes in chest waders?

MINE!!!

How about a nude gal on the back of a 30lb chromer? Saddle is optional.
