M2 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I noticed it's been corrected. Eric at Progressive Specialties is a pretty good dude, and I wonder how this got past him as he's usually good at catching mistakes like that. His son was on this forum for a while, then went to UPT a few years back; I can't recall what he's flying these days... Cheers! M2
Majestik Møøse Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Worth a thread revival... Once someone replies to this thread, I'll post the rest of them... Cheers! M2 Pretty sure the "Clemons" one is photoshopped. Somebody just swapped the "on" and "s". Otherwise, those tats are rad.
Guest Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Those are GREAT! Thanks for making me laugh out loud.

Not huge, but still a Dicscount!
Jughead Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) Thread revival for Worst. Tattoo. Ever. Probably not the best way to capture for posterity your newborn's grasp of your thumb.... EDIT: Because I still can't figure out how to attach in the new format.... Edited April 11, 2012 by Jughead
billy pilgrim Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 That's pretty terrible... I was back and forth between my class crest across my back, or something with the code of conduct / airman's creed / AF symbol / out of the airman's manual... Something that says this airman is tough, yet professional. In all seriousness there is a lot of cool shit out there - I like the old fighters etc... I've been debating getting some WWII nose art on an arm - any ideas where I can find some historical examples? It's a shame we don't have it anymore. It's a nearly free way to raise esprit de corps... I think the CAF crew chiefs would be all about it too. The coolest tattoos I've seen in person have been on girls. One had the Dali elephants walking across her back and one had the where the wild things are creatures on her arm. Definitely chick stuff, but original.

Nothing says tough but professional like a tattoo. This nation is chock full of people who are tough but professional.

Words can not describe the awesomeness.

LockheedFix Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Jesus, I hope you're joking... I'm not, but I just realized I got one detail wrong. It was actually the AF Core Values.
TrainerModel Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Saw a kid at water survival, some enlisted back-ender geek, that had a huge glider silhouette tattoo across his entire back. Apparently he flew them in high school or something; looked like the gliders from the zoo.

farva Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 If you've made it to this point in life without having any tattoos, you owe yourself a pat on the back. If, however, you're not so lucky, don't bother trying to convince anyone else of your tattoo's special significance (kids names, family "crests", AF insignia, barbed wire, or whatever tribal BS you picked out for your bicep)...that's what photographs & memories are for, FYI. Like it or not, there is a large segment of the population that simply dismiss your tattoo as an indicator of lacking judgement, regardless of the sincere thought & significance you've placed on it - right or wrong, that's a fact. And those people, by the way, are your present/future employers, spouses, kids, in-laws, etc...essentially the people who's opinion of you matters most. In today's world, having no tattoos is the new version of having a tattoo. It's a good thing mullets & parachute pants weren't permanent...I'm sure as hell glad the expressions of individualism I made 20 years ago aren't looking me in the mirror every morning. Well said.
SCRIMP Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) Try not to pass too much judgement from your ivory tower. Edited April 15, 2012 by SCRIMP
Ram Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) Try not to pass too much judgement from your ivory tower. It is never ok to post man-ass. My ivory tower does not approve. Edited April 15, 2012 by Ram 1
Guest Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 It is never ok to post man-ass. I hope the guy who only got 8 toes paid less. 2 SCRIMP, I agree that your point is valid but posting man ass is a foul.
Napoleon_Tanerite Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) Since this thread has been revived, any word on the guy featured in the first post? Edited April 16, 2012 by Napoleon_Tanerite
LockheedFix Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 I hope the guy who only got 8 toes paid less. Most of the guys who saw that looked away shortly thereafter. You took the time to count toes. Just sayin'.
Beaver Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Most of the guys who saw that looked away shortly thereafter. You took the time to count toes. Just sayin'. It takes a couple extra seconds to come up with a good joke. Try it.
StainedClass Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 I had an old school Vietnam-era Chief Pilot in the reserves that wouldn't hire you if you had a tattoo. He was a great dude but that was just his thing....
