Baller Hugh Nichols Posted October 9, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 9, 2011 33 yrs ago I thought about getting "Shortline" tattooed high on my left arm. It would have been written in script using a ski rope starting with the 15off loop & ending with the 38off loop, the main line curved back under the word & the handle was just to the left of the S. I have always thought it would have been a great looking tattoo, & there are many reasons why I am glad I did not get it done. One is I don't ski well enough to be called Shortline any more. BTW my son went to enlist in the service, they almost did not let him in because he thought he was being cool, he had a crown tattooed on his shoulder. He had to get a exemption because they thought it might be "gang related". The short version of what I'am saying is Don't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

501Brandon Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I have a few non ski related tat's, I got them all (10) when I was in my early 20's and am now 40 with 2 kids and 2 things you have to remember is 1) You will at some point have to explain where and why they are there to kids. 2) If you want to be taken seriously by employers or other business related partners you need to make sure it can be easily covered. Tats are a very much more accepted in todays world but still have a negative first impression in most cases. This is of course just my opinion... My advice "put your thought/design on a T-Shirt" and sell us one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rodltg2 Posted October 10, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 10, 2011 I'm in my late 30's and got my first tattoos this summer.(Must be going thru an early mid-life crisis!) Only regret is that I was unaware that you could not ski for two weeks afterwards! I won my own business so I have no problem right now! I too would like to add something ski related, but im not into anything cartoonish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted October 10, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 10, 2011 I know someone who has a slalom skier rounding a buoy with the spray inside the upper arm. For a water ski tatoo it is okay but I am not a tatoo fan. It would be covered up with a work shirt though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller PatM Posted January 19, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 19, 2012 Steve Cole from NY has a simple handle tattoo. It is small and simple. I hate tattoos but this was the only one I thought was not bad or low key or even tasteful. That said, don't do it. You will regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller swc5150 Posted January 19, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 19, 2012 If you think there's any chance you'll regret, people are correct, don't do it! I, however, have no regrets about any of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller swc5150 Posted January 19, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 19, 2012 This thread makes me chuckle... We talk about making this sport cool, hip, and popular, but then poo poo one individual looking to get a little ink. Telling him "don't do it" will only make him want to do it more;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller swc5150 Posted January 19, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 19, 2012 You're making my point... Wakeboarding and pop culture are going hand in hand, which is why that sport is growing. I'm not saying you need tats to be hip or cool. I'm just saying that disregarding pop culture will not help our cause. The more kids we get into this sport, the better chance the big 3 produce an affordable 3 event boat for us? I do apologize if I sound disrespectful, as I have nothing but respect and admiration for our service members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller teammalibu Posted January 20, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 20, 2012 Read an article recently that Mark Walberg is having all of his tattos removed and is making his 15 and 13 year old kids watch the very painfull process in hopes that they will have more sense than he had at a young age.

Baller Gloersen Posted January 20, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 20, 2012 Hideously fascinating; many skiers assume never have the handle that near to their arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Than_Bogan Posted January 20, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 20, 2012 My home state of MA is kind of known nationally as being "ultra-liberal," but in certains ways we're a stodgy and very conservative bunch. Until very recently, tatooing remained illegal in MA (although it was never illegal to HAVE a tatoo; it just had to be done somewhere else). My only personal problem with tattoos is that I think they look awful about 20 years later. Basically, I don't think the technology is quite good enough yet. But to each his own -- my own fashion sense is so poor that I'm sure many people think I look awful all the time!! Because of some business and personal interests, I've spent some time at game conventions, and I've seen plenty of people who have chosen to take self-modification to some extremes. My basic attitude is "sure, whatever." I think all of us on this forum can relate to taking interests to an extreme... I happened to be in an airport one time with a guy who had the full reptilian tattoo covering his entire head along with some prosthetics inserted under his skin in some places to increase his resemblence to ... I'm guessing here ... an alligator. His presence turned out to be a bonus because the place was really crowded, but we found 4 seats together for me and my family right next to him!

Baller jipster43 Posted January 21, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 21, 2012 If you like tattoos and want a tattoo, the only tattoo you're going to regret is a bad one. Make sure you research your tattoo artist - I've had two different artists work on me and the difference between the two is pretty remarkable. Fortunately the lesser of the two is still very good, but Tracy Zumwalt of Anchor Tattoo in Seattle is one of the best. All of my tattoos have seen a lot of sun and they still look crisp and vibrant many, many years after the fact. The only bad tattoo I've ever seen was a tramp stamp... on a dude!
