Hunting Tattoos

[Sierra Hunter]

I have a bunch, with more to come. If you’re in the Sierras (just making assumptions off your SN), I can connect you with a really talented artist in Carson City.

I appreciate the offer, I currently have someone I like a lot

Im not huge into tattoos but theres alotta cool ones out there. Whats your greatest hunting memory. Possibly with a close friend or relative? Coordinate into the tattoo the coordinates of where the memory happened. Food for thought.

There is the remote possibility that those who aren't as rugged and macho as you might do things for some reason other than wanting to be tough...but they're probably all pansies.

Thats not what I said . But you are welcome to hear whatever you want .

Are you trying to convince the guy to not get a tattoo??? Maybe convince him of what you can get stuck with if you get a bad tattoo artist???

I can think of a few guys that should tattoo POACHER across their forehead

I blew out my knee in the Floridas chasing ibex and the doc gave me this cool tattoo to remember it.

A couple years back I was fishing in Alaska and came across a guy from a very remote area. He had tattoos that represented the animals he had killed. Wolves, bear, moose, wolverines and whales to name a few. They were pretty cool.

They’re usually terrible, choose wisely.

Terrible artists do terrible tattoos.

I think what he’s trying to say is most hunting tattoos don’t look nearly as cool as people think they do. This thread proves it. I have a buddy at work who’s got a whole sleeve of moose and bears, it also looks like crap.

I agree 100%. But again, a really good top dollar artist can make some great stuff. Most guys are unwilling to pay the price of a good artist and it shows.

I knew a guy who caught a shark when he was on a fishing charter. He got a shark tattoo on his forearm and spent quite a bit on it. Now if he rolls up the sleeve of his hoody or flannel, whatever, it looks like a penis. It’s great, making fun of it is one of my favorite things to do. He gets super mad.

If you do get a big colorful tattoo on your arm, make sure you never work out. These look better on smooth skinny arms.

Yeah tattoos are weird. Everybody who has a crappy one 100% knows it’s crappy but since it’s sort of permanent, they have to act like they like it and defend it. Not all of them are crappy but the majority of them are. I think the problem with hunting tattoos is that people try to capture a moment from a photo or memory and you just can’t do the detail through a tattoo so it looks like cartoon ass. Nobody is going to admit they spent 1000+ dollars on some Jenny watercolor looking piece of garbage that they don’t like.

Like that first one the guy posted….WTH is that??? An upside down skull that’s also the earth with trees growing out of it??? Why would you do that?

I saw one where a guy got a picture of Jim hockey packing out a sheep on his calf. You couldn’t tell it was Jim hockey but it was based on that photo, I mean c’mon you wanted everybody to know you’re a hunter so you tattood a picture of another man on your leg???

That fish one is by far the best one I’ve seen though.

My son showed up to archery elk camp with this one. He’s a big fan of pronghorns.
