Two pertinent quotes from the first link FrankPS posted:

"I was thinking about getting a tattoo with a climbing theme, right on my forearm! Then I thought about it and realized I was only doing it for attention and so I could talk to non-climbers about the meaning behind the tattoo in hopes of impressing them."

and

"No explanation or ideas by the OP about what they think or why they're interested. No images on the part of the OP to prime the pump. Just a petulant one sentence command to other to provide them with climbing tattoo images.

OP was lazy in how they made the thread. The question about tattoos doesn't deserve a smartasses response, but laziness in questioning gets all the smartasses.

At least the OP could posted that they had done a simple search of MP to see if anything popped up and used that as a reference so the forum knows what's already been offered. "

Of 7 pages or so of conversation there's maybe 6 pictures. The others are from Google Search or not related. I was looking for other peoples creative ideas. My mistake for thinking a new thread might actually spark conversation instead of just more people talking nonsensical shit. Admittedly I didn't post any pictures of mine. I figured while waiting for my wife I'd post this then add my pics later.

The joy of the internet, where everyone thinks their opinion matters.

Climbing has had a big impact on my life as well as my wife's. We are happy to have this constant reminder of that.

From an old thread linked above:

Dan Cucci wrote:
A coil of rope (scaled down) on top of your foot, going up to the belayer on your shin, and continuing up and around your leg, behind your knee and up your hamstring to the first two cams, only the ends of which can be seen, at your crack. (Colored appropriately for crack size and clipped to the rope.) The rope continues up a buttock and up the back to the next cam at the arm pit. The lobes can be tattooed on your side (hidden when your arm is down) for extra effect. The rope continues up the side of your neck, under the ear and onto your cheek and again clipped, this time at the bomber nut placement in your ear. The rope traverses to the nose (once an aid pitch, but now it goes free), up the side, over the brow to the leader, just now about to top out the pitch. Next tattoo (few people can stop with just one) is the rap down the front side.

When you have an alternative friend and ask, “Why is there a tick mark on your toes?”

ladies, please, don't ink yourself up, it never enhances, it only detracts. If you're a dude, whatever, be a pirate if you want
