valjumps46 0 #1 October 5, 2006 I never really was a fan of tatoo's. After i started skydiving i realized that i would really like a skydiving related tatoo. I actually wanted to get my skybirthday on my wrist. 1. Do you have a skydiving tatoo? If so what is it?"I'm going to marry my novels and have short stories for children."

DavidST 0 #5 October 5, 2006 Tattoos Yep i got lots of them but non are skydiving related. As a general rule, the better it felt when you said it, the more trouble it's going to get you into. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lorilacy 0 #9 October 5, 2006 I don't have any tattoos, but the neatest one I have ever seen is on Kimberly (survivor of Quantum Leap's Twin Otter crash). She got a tattoo on her ankle of a closing pin, with beautiful wings on either side. On the wings are the birthdate of her tandem instructor, and the date of the crash. She also had Robert's initials put in the middle of the closing pin. She and Robert's parents had the tattoos done before she returned to Australia. Such an amazing tribute to such an amazing young man."Be content with what you have, rejoice in the way things are.

It was Paul's logo Here is a link to a modified version. I got mine before the wings and the dates were added... mine is just the two jumpers.

yardhippie 0 #13 October 5, 2006 I have 4 tats and none are skydiving related. Thats just my choice. Each one is a part of my story and reminds me of certain points in my life. my first one is over 12 years old now and needs some touch up, and thats cuz its on my back and I often get sunburnt cuz Im too lazy to put on sunscreen.Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 273 #16 October 5, 2006 I'm going to wait to get a skydiving related tat until after I'm sure skydiving is a big part of my life. Like maybe for the 20th anniversary of my first jump. If I'm still jumping then, that is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livendive 8 #17 October 6, 2006 I've got an idea for a tattoo I'd like to get...was planning on getting it done for my 10th sky-birthday, since by then I figured it was safe to say I'm not a tourist. Just need someone to draw it. One of the guys at my home dz has a CYPRES control unit on the back of his neck (displaying 750'...upside down ), and he has 3-rings tattoo'd on both shoulders. He just started jumping this past spring. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

godfrog 2 #23 October 6, 2006 I have a couple of tattoo's none skydiving related, just had one touched up today. I have been planning one now for quite a while now that will be a tribute to some friends that are no longer with us. One is the guy who taught me to fly, another is a friend that was doing air tanker drops and another was a sky diver.Experience is a difficult teacher, she gives you the test first and the lesson afterward Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #24 October 6, 2006 Quoteno tattoos for this unmarked body. 10 years from now, you may wish you hadn't done it. I got a nice long surgical scar on my shoulder - a tattoo will only improve the view and the memory. But I have no idea what I'll do with it. It's a 5" arc that could be turned into the top edge of a canopy. I'm going to experience with the temporary ink first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
