Anyone got A ukulele tattoo?

oldetymey · Dec 31, 2012

Hey all,
I got a day off tommorow, and a little real estate left on the inside of my left elbow. Im thinking it might be a good time for a uke tattoo. Does anyone else have one they can share a pic of? Ive found some designs online but nothing so far that speaks to me. I like vintage/old school sailor jerry type designs. Post some pics if you have them!

I've been thinking of getting a ukulele tattoo, but I'm kinda' working on a theme right now, based on "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner."

Ive got a theme going too. "Random crap I had inked in on a whim" its coming out great

I usually design all my own but maybe Ill just hand this one off to my regular artist..

Okay to ask again, fun subject.

Just for entertainment, there was a 96 post thread on this early summer 2012:

Ah, before my time I never think to search first. unfortunately no uke tattoo pics in there. I ve got my sketchbook and a bottle of seagrams out, so maybe something will pop out. With any luck the shop will have time for a walkin tommorow.

Oldetymey, how about a vintage hula girl with ukulele! Click to enlarge

I had considered that but for where I need to place it the scale wont fit. I especially like the one Chuck Moore uses as his logo. I like this one alot too.

needs to be maybe 2 or so inches high and maybe 5 across......give or take

You mean long and low, like this, oldtymey? (just add vintage uke in her hands)

No Ukulele, but music staff, ribbon style, transitioning from four lines (Uke Tab) to five lines (Standard notation) and finally to six lines (Guitar Tab)

The combined Treble/Bass Clef that you see in my avatar is in the middle.

Some interesting looking uke tattoos on this blog...

I've already crossed off "tattoo" on my bucket list, so I have to pass for now---but a few of these look sweet...

I do love the Sailor Jerry style hula girl with the uke. So classic! That one is next

I like the one with her skirt falling off.

Hmmm, not into tatoos, I'd spend the money on a tatoo uke.

yeah like that...My wife would be liable to take a belt sander to that one in my sleep if I dared to get it.

Yeah that one is pretty rad huh? I was actually looking in the mirror to see if there was a spot left that it would fit in. Might be able to sneak that one past the missus.

Its not everyones cup of tea, but I enjoy it. I look at it kinda like an old beat up suitcase covered in travel stickers. It took alot of convincing to my wife to let me go one full sleeve. Now shes fine with it as long as I keep reasonably g rated
(no naked girls, and no skulls seem to be her rules). Im retiring as soon as I finish this left arm though. Have most of the line work done just the hours upon hours of shading and coloring. As for a uke, I have one of those already. It'd be jealous if I got another

In just making my mind up on one, but do like the hula girl one on the Sailor Jerry bottle
