 #1 - Right Upper Arm - Originally just the heart with a Flying V guitar through it [you might recognize it as the old Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers logo](Good Time Charlie's Tattoo Land, Anaheim, CA), then after my divorce got it surounded with the flames and banners with my sons' names (Joel Long/Boulder Ink - Boulder, CO).  #2 - Left Upper Arm - Human Torch/Johhny Storm (Lance Talon/Boulder Ink) - added the Japanese style water/waves later(Joel Long/Boulder Ink).  #3 - right lower leg sleeve - Japanese Dragon with clouds, water and flowers (Joel Long/Boulder Ink). Still have about 3-4 hours left. It's officially an addiction now (and my Mom said I had a low pain threshold  ). I'm already looking forward to the next one although I haven't figured out where it'll go or what it'll be yet. I'll know by the time I've saved up for it!

Mark,
I can't believe you have a tattoo of the human torch. That's like one of the coolest tats ever. I think if I ever get a tattoo I'd design a yin-yang symbol with Supes on the light side and Bats on the dark, in the style of Alex Ross.

If I could think of something I would want with me forever, I'd get one. AS of yet, nothing... Something music related probably.

None yet, but planning on a skull with a mohawk. But, not just any skull with a mohawk, there is one I use to draw the side view of all the time in high school, I need someone to draw it as a 3/4 veiw.

I think I mentioned in another post that I was considering getting a tat of a Mohammed look alike on my left butt cheek in a pose that would appear as if he were kissing said butt cheek with his middle finger raised while riding a Harley. I would then post the image (complete with body part) on Al-Jazeera using my secret Chinese biker gang name, "Sum Yung Guy."

I generally tattoo 110-130 head of livestock every year. Not nearly as artistic as the stuff you guys have. Usually simple identification numbers in the left ear.
A local Harley guy with a needle thinks I need to get a tattoo??

I only have 3, a winged HD bar and shield logo on the left arm, an eagle pulling out of a dive on the right and, under that, a Hinkley Triumph logo.
In the plans is a wolf head on the back to commemorate the Indian name given me just after I bought my first Triumph,
wolf who runs alone with the wind. Not sure if the bike having a solo seat had anything to do with that.

Thanks John,
I grew up a comic book nut, still love 'em.
I originally wanted the Silver Surfer, I like the idea of the cosmic philosopher and he's a cool character, but they don't do silver in tatoos. So I went with the Human Torch because the FF were one of my faves, I like the "flame on" aspect as related to my character (have always had a bit of a temper being Italian-Irish), he's possibly the coolest Marvel character and I knew no one else would have one. 
I think the Yin/Yang Batman/Superman thing sounds like a great idea. Love the Batman, will probably end up with one of those somewhere.

Sun with a face & wifes name on left arm and this year a Triumph triangular logo with wings on left upper arm. Finally I want a lone wolf howling on a mountain.. I just love wolves, saw a timber wolf a few years ago, what a magical animal!

Have one, upper right arm. Did it myself at the ripe old age of 19 by using a mirror and my arm over the back of a chair. Used 2 needles tied with a thread ball for the slim lines and 6 needles for the shading. Looks exactly like this but without the musical notes and under shadow. It's faded and I keep saying I am going to get it fixed but who the hell remembers Mr. Natural from Zap Comics?? Well OK, I imagine a few of you do! But any tattoo artists? I doubt it....

What? NOT remember Mr. Natural!?!?!?! When I worked at a San Diego area head shop in the early to mid '70's (college days - it paid the bills), we maintained a nice collection of underground comics in our inventory. My favorites were "The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers" with their stoned merry madcap mis-adventures. Ahhhh, those were the days. Keep truckin'!

I have a tattoo of a fat hairy polack covering every square inch of my body. The likeness is remarkable. Didn't hurt at all, at least not that I remember - I got it nearly 39 years ago.
I got the same tattoo! I understand the needle used was enormous and inherited! Mine's 6 years older than yours and a work of art.

There are parts of this land where simply knowing the term "head shop" will get you 4-6 days in the lockup. If the kids today wandered into a 60-70's head shop, it would blow their feeble minds. Well, maybe not if they held their breath. You realize how long ago the 70's are, must be 10-15 years at least. Where does the time go???????

 Got this first one at the Laconia Rally from a friend in NH who owns a tattoo parlor. Better late than never and something simple in black & gray shading.
