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
Peace Superfly

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
homepage

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.

Justin

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.

Rivernut, you got the right idea! Yahoo, ride 'em cowboy!

LMAO!!!!!

Be careful, Saukit2em. I've trademarked "Nuthin' Butt Plugs" for my new upcoming split business - an adult entertainment and fishing tackle store!

I was thinking on making custom hats. Aside from the "Nuthin' Butt Plugs" logo on the front, I'd put a TadPoly on one end of the hat and a ...er.... well, something else on the other end of the hat!

Parker

I have the Loomis fear no fish skeleton on my right shoulder. My wife drew up a sketch of a bear bear riding a huge chinook bareback. The bear is holding on to a piece of rope attached to a hook in the chinooks mouth. The bear has chaps, boots, spurs and a hat. Im going to get that onmy shoulder blade.
Ive seen superfly's tat. I realy like that design.

Robbo,

Devil fish lives !!!!! Beware of him!!

Sauk Kid, to answer your question from my site, I dont believe the Sauk/Suiattle tribe has been netting the Sauk this season and if they are they've been doing it at night and not leaving any trace of their neting.

All right, you guys, enough is enough! I can't take it anymore! I have to know!!! Thanks for pushing my buttons and laughing about it behind my back! It's probably nothing anyways. I will give you guys one last chance to tell me about the SRBC....this is your final warning!!!

If you don't...then I have no choice but to summon the great spirts of the Sauk and have them strike down on you with fishless days, lost fish, broken rods, etc. etc.

You are dealing with the most powerful forces of nature here, boyz. Before the curse takes effect, give it up!

Just kidding you guys, don't take that seriously, actually one of you, who will remain nameless , told me what the SRBC is and I thought, OK, I went to all this trouble for that? Pretty funny anyways, and to the gracious gentleman who told me, thank you kindly, and your secret is safe with me.

Later

My name is Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiid, KID SAUK!!!

Hey PARKER???
What's up with the NABISCO tattoo? I work there and have always joked about getting one to suck up to the bosses...I am just wondering why would that even come up in a fishing forum? Is that unlucky or something? Someone else wrote something about ritz crackers. I am just wondering what is the scoop on the whole Nabisco products thing. If you guys would let me know I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!?????????????????????? Wiggle Wart..
<*))))><

Hope ya know its all out of fun brah!
See at 4:20 at Johnnys aye??
SRBC\tight lines

Kevin

Kevin is getting a nabisco product tattoo...T-riscuit or was that a ritz cracker can't remember now j/k Kev.. I say to all go with the MOON over the boat tattoo TM
LOOK over there an eagle!!!!!!!



SRBC Leavin da houze

Wiggle Wart, have you ever heard of the term "cracker"? In case you haven't, a cracker is a beginner steelheader or an experienced one who still can't fish worth a damn. So you see, Wiggle Wart, that a with Nabisco being the most recognized cracker manufacturer, then a Nabisco tattoo would suit a cracker fisherman well. I would not suggest getting one if you are or plan on being a serious steelheader. You might just get laughed off the river.

Kevin,

I have come to the conclusion that you guys are pretty cool, but weirder than shiieeit at the same time. Devilfish? The MOON? I'm too young for that hippie stuff! Just kidding, take care and I'll see ya on the river. Look, an eagle! AAAAOOOOOHHHHRR!!

Justin

The one, the only Kid Sauk

Look over there an EAGLE!!!!!!!!



SRBC!!!!

NOOOOO!

The last time those moons appeared in the SRBC hood the fishing went to pot and my biznatch left me for a raft full of looky-lus! No mas!

If you want to know about the SRBC, Kid, you gotta go through the 'nitiation first. Has somethin to do with a cigar, potatoe, blow up doll, lipstick (get's lonely in them hills), another potatoe, some pvc, butane, a 16' confession booth, a frisbee, and that Shack I was tellin you about on the river the other day. Oh, yeah, there's a bit of hiking involved too, but that don't make no nevermind!

Well...

Robbo,

I'm down for the initiation just as long as it has nothing to do with the Sodomy Shack!

TM said it was called the love snack..... uuuu yukkk spit spit

Fishing on Washington's Moon River is hot!!!!

Thats SRBC--See Rats Butt Crack!!

well not neccessarily-butt it fits,eh
