Brewing Tattoo?
« on: August 23, 2010, 10:32:26 am »
Hi Guys, I currently have one tattoo ( a valknut with the Norse runes around it) and am starting to think about my next one. I don't get a lot of tattoos, it took me 6 years of thinking it over before I got my first. I think over the years brewing has become an important and happy aspect of my life worth capturing in some way as a tattoo, but I am having trouble conceptualizing what it could look like. I don't want something obnoxious like a huge tankard of ale or anything like that. I was thinking something along the lines of the AHA logo but without the letters maybe, not sure. Have any of you ever seen any good brew/brewing related tattoos?

I think you should get Charlie Papzian's face across your back, as big as possible with the letters "RDWHAHB" arched over his head. That would look awesome!

Lol, Charlie with the glass of beer and the tilted head.

I think a stylized hop cone/bine would look good. Take a gander at this label designed by a tattoo artist:

A friend of mine has a big hopcone on one shoulder, with bines around it.  I've never taken a really good look at it, but from what I've seen it looks pretty cool.

I've seen her too.  It's not polite to stare.

I saw a guy at a phish show once who had the word "beer" tattooed across his lower back in gothic lettering.

Gothic RDWHAHB across the stomach gangbanger style.   :o

I like the hop-bine. It's what first came to mind.

Wow, there are a couple of decent ones there, but it is amazing some of the s*** people will put on their bodies.
