freshly done still red and sore lol!!! this is the 1st tattoo i have done relating to base jumping!!

no. newer. :) use seach first

Damn.
The idea is kinda cool but still...

Ah well. At least he/she didn't get HIDGAF tattoed (sp?) on his/her skull.

Seriously, I thought you were asking how to spell "HIDGAF". Lol.

I guess you were asking how to spell the past tense of "tattoo". HIDGAF.

um, cool...

Hey at least i put it in a place where i could hide it even if it came out lame (which it didn't) I happen to realy like it so HIDGAF

I'm reading nothing but good news here.

Clair,

Since you don't have to hide it, post a picture

dont have a picture, but You can see the finished product on youtube

okay thats fucking gnarly. i like it more than the base tat in this thread

Do your parents like it.

this seems a bit surreal.

people seem to get rather bent when Clair and this tattoo come up. if you challenge her on it, expect her to reply HIDGAF.

I actually agree with her (except I do not agree with her militant advocacy of HIDGAF).

think about it. BASE is about freedom. many will say it is wrong. some don't like how we get our altitude. we do it despite the naysayers.

'course this forum has beat up on the "ooh, look at me vids." who posts many of those? people who DO GAF. that is who.

if everyone BASE jumped for their own personal reasons, I think things would be better. too many here really care about the social cache of their jumps. they want to be recognized. they want to be cool. they want to have bragging rights.

if BASE jumpers accepted the HIDGAF philosophy, I suspect the petty bickering would decrease dramatically.

jailhouse tattoos are SO out.

Well my philosophy is live and let live so was being a dick when I made that comment and in retrospect I probably shouldn't have made it. I'm sorry for disregarding my own values.

Then again, if you get a tattoo with a message like that, and show it off on youtube, I suppose you can take it (regardless of the message in the acronym).

BASE jumping and Tattoos are both very personal. To some people you'll never be able to justify either. I like it, but then again I have a spatula tattooed on my arm, go figure.

Yeah, but you pull off the splatula ya dead sexy fucker.

edit to add:
Clair...yours just makes me all warm and twitchy...but I'm wrong freaky. Not jailbait freaky, but freaky.

So.... who got the idea first you, or Brittney Spears?

sorry.....but when you ask me, ugly.

except if you sell cocain....



cheers......

I have a spatula tattooed on my arm

Hmm, maybe you should try to
get Abbie to sponsor you

next tatto should be in blacklight ink...

Dude he totally does! Once I got the tat he said I could crash at his place and jump the bridge for free! I couldn't pass up a deal like that.

here's my Tat

Hell yea, that's nice!

i dont have pics, but a few of you have seen my CG (center of gravity) tattoos.

Airplane plans/example drawings have a symbol (attatched) that marks the center of mass, or center of gravity.

I spent about 2 hours in my packed BASE rig, with a good freind meauring my exact center of gravity while wearing a rig. any pilots or mechanics understand how important the CG of a flying/rotating object is.

I marked it, then went to the tat place, and had them tattoo a CG symbol about 4cm diameter on my pitch and yaw axis in respects to a wingsuit. (roll would be on the top of my head or my quach)

Ill take a pic and post them sometime, im in bed half asleep though.

its cool, i imagine throwing a flip off a big fat rock and my body rotating around the cross point of my CG tattoos.

its not a huge multi-colored A and weird people falling off, but its what i wanted, and it means a lot to me. i spent a lot of time designing my first flying machine... me...

hahah i shaved my head and got the tattoo about a year and a half ago

as a geek, that's one of the coolest tattoos I've heard of in a long time

uh, careful.
they put those things on crash test dummies as well!

 

Heres my tattoo,

Dude, I am disappointed

Such an intense tattoo and you drink Coca-Cola...

I would have figured battery acid or blood

yeah... I have a really good freind who was a F-4 pilot nd he makes fun of me constantly.

well, the CTD symbol works as well for me in the last 2 years.

We also put them on CAD drawings for lighting and sound systems for concerts where we "rig a point" to "hang a truss"... I don't think you want to be "hung" do ya? he he he

you should shave your legs then it would be pretty

i would like to jump whith you in the dark just for the video of it..
ohh scarry people

dude it's cold in canada I need the fur coat

hey i found a picture

fuck yea clair. shit is soo punk rock! sick!!

Let us pray that you don't became circular alopecia in your forties.

You never answered my question: what do your parents think about the tattoo on your head?

hahaha love the tattoo...reminds me of the pics you used to get on old game console covers lol.....looks really cool

hopefully when i get to become a base member i want a tattoo done in a kids sort of drawing (rectangle for the body ..spikey hair etc)..i think it'll look great

Both of my parents like it, my mom realylikes the font!! she said that she likes that i got it on my head so i can cover it up if i want, she also said i should keep my head buzzed for a while because it looks good

hey clair,
just saw your head tattoo, love your work mate, all time,
i thought i would put a picture of my base jumping tattoo on there as well,
go hard mate
douggs

Good stuff good stuff!!!! love it

That is some nice art-work!!!
