SHARE YOUR FAVORITE TATTOO'S

The Wild Cat was my first tattoo and thanks to Tommy, he guided me to the master to get it. Mr. Bob Roberts himself! For those that don't know the name, Bob Roberts did Brian's Wild Cat way back when in New York. But, when I wanted to get my Wild Cat, Bob was located in Los Angeles, CA which only about 1 hour from my house. Yes, the hair on the cat looks different because Bob said he was experimenting with different hair styles. I still owe you big time for your guidance Tommy, thank you! (The Stray Cats logo ws done at a later date at Bob Roberts studio called Spotlight tattoo by a different artist)


This tattoo is actually 4 in 1 even though it now looks like 1 tattoo almost. The first one was the green flaming dice, then the name Gretsch and then the rocket ship with the ribbon and Rockabilly name and the actual Gretsch headstock.


This tattoo is on my right back shoulder and it hurt like hell ! It is obviously a 6120.


The last tattoo is actually 2 tattoos, the 3 leaf clover with my wife's (8 years and going stronger then ever) name on it and the second is the horse shoe with her initial at the top of it. The horse shoe is fairly new and still need a couple of touch ups on the red dice.


Lastly, this is my Wife's tattoo. The name Hank is me, that is what she calls me because my middle name is Henry, so she calls me Hank.




Ok, that's all of my tat's.

Later & Have A Gretsch Day !

Ross (aka Hank)

You have to upload the pix to a photo-hosting site like Photobucket, then copy and past the IMG code that starts with [IMG].

the icons above seem to do that for you, but the picture never makes it to the page !!!!

Oh well, here are links to mine...

Great work Steve, now you just need a drummer to complete the trio...

Hi Danny_Wilde

Those have got to be some of the best tattoos of that sort of theme that I have ever seen
They really are spot on,I was going to put my old ones that were done years ago by Dennis Cockell but mine look too old now (30 years old). Those tat's of Danny's really look the business,I wish I could have mine done again to look like that, AWSOME!!!

Hi, Carbon Cat,

Thank you for your comment about my tattoos.

But i like to see your tattoos here,too. I like old tattoos!!

Greets to UK, Tommi

Rock on!

Cheers Dave,
yeah that was the plan,a certain stand up drummer would complete it nicely.It's the usual time and dosh problem.Had a health scare 2 years ago,had surgery on an abscess on my spine.Was off work a few months.Took some recovering both physically and financially....but one day will get it finished.

Have to echo the comments about Danny's tats...excellent.Love the Gretsch one.

Cheers
Steve

HEY GANG!!

I got this done in memory of my Father..



It's the emblem from the city he was born in.. Trieste
People ask why my right leg?.. well, since I wanted to remember him as the strong man that he was before he had his strokes, and when I was trainig and fighting, I had a killer right hand leg kick that always took care of me when I needed it.
It may seem silly but it means alot to me. I guess tattoos are an extremely personal thing.

My wife has had these done for our daughters...



All you gals should relate to this.. lipstick, hand bags and shoes!! I can't believe how much all 3 of them love these things! It's not like they're cars or guitars!!

Anyways, Cheers Pete.

P.S. I'm plannin' to get the Wild Cat and a piece for my girls soon as well.

HEY GANG!

What no one else got any tatts?? TommyM, I understand you got a few, wanna share them??

Cheers Pete.
