That's awesome man! Funny story for ya. I worked with a guy for awhile and tattoos came up. He looked very uncomfortable and finally I dragged it out of him. He had a big old tramp stamp on his lower back. Before the ladies decided they liked it. It was some huge tribal deal that looked like deer antlers. So from then on I called him Ass Antlers. He quit soon after. Yes I am a bully lol

That's funny! Why any guy put a tattoo in his lower back is beyond me. Unless he is the target

He got so mad one day that I thought he was gonna punch me. I explained to him that he could be the baddest dude on earth but as long as he had ink that close to his ass he'd never be able to beat me up. I could never let that happen purely on principle

Nice tat dude! It definitely means something to you and in the end, that's all that matters. If you have a passion for history now, it will surely follow you your entire life. Here's a thought, when your body will no longer allow you to swing the coil, take pics of your top finds and have them inked under the coil.

You weren't messing around when you decided to get one. I hope you still like it in 40 years because its not going away. From the looks of your gray beard you probably don't have to worry ro much what mom and dad think :tongue3:

Sure glad I am off work this week.... Need to let it heal before I get it out in public. So my Dad saw it today...He was like "Holy Shiz, that's huge!" He knew I was getting one, but didn't think it would be as big and detailed as it turned out to be. He wasn't too pleased, but I think he will get over it. I was able to spend the day with him, he just turned 70, we enjoyed watching the Pats beat the Bills, also watched the highlights of the Jets and Dolphin losses, HAHA. My Mom hasn't seen it yet, that will be a post for another day.:laughing7:
