a climber accross your chest with a heal hook on one nipple and a hand on the other

or

a nut on your thigh marking the extent of your sack with your age on one end. This could be updated through time to show how much gravity has effected your sack throughout life....

definitely do a full size rope coil backpack on your back with a few strands going over your shoulder and some tied off at your waist.

That's perfect considering he asked for ideas on tribal reptiles.

This. You can be "cool" later on.

Bigger is better dude. If you go to a decent tattooer you won't have anything to regret. Get a topo of your favorite route covering your back, although the problem with back tattoos is you cant see them, and you have to be shirtless so other people can, and you know what they say about a climber who can't keep his shirt on....

Seriously though, some up close cam lobes or technical portrayal of a machined piece of gear is gonna be the most interesting over time.

A fully extended Linkcam would be a nice complex gear piece.

This seams like it would fit a few climbers I've met.

I got my first tattoo when I was 18 and never regretted it. Of course it is something that's near and dear to me. So if climbing fits the bill, go for it.

offwidth? dude, how big is her ass? might be better off tatting a valley giant between her cheeks peeking out......

Big Juggs/Elanor/Mitch This post has nothing to do with Journey Man-you are just carrying over the thread that got locked by admin...

Just once I would like to read a thread without your useless comments on it. Stop changing the subject or morphing it into something about you...Stop being a super-troll.

But without insipid blather by literally a hand full of unemployed instigators these threads would become useful and coherent... and we can't have that...
