My 4th Half-Nekkid Thursday


Wow..fourth one already?! Time flies, huh?

So, anyway...I got this tat when I was in San Diego with my fiance at the time...He was in the Navy going through his 'A' School. I love koalas, so naturally I picked this one. Yes, his name was Jim...no, that's not my husband's name. Shouldn't have done it, I know. BUT, My Granddad's name is Jim and HE was in the Navy, so now I just say it's in honor of him! LOL

Gonna get the name part covered up eventually...just gotta figure out how. Any ideas? Oh, in case you wondered, it's on my upper left thigh.

HAPPY HNT!

Great picture, I'm loving the ink show that's going on this week! I'm no artist, tattoo or otherwise, but since you asked for ideas...how about extending the tree branch and adding another koala?

Happy HNT!

Muse said...

Thats a very cute tattoo. I wouldnt cover it. :) Happy HNT!

Shauna said...

I love seeing people's tattoos. You can learn alot.

You could probably make the script part of some sort of scrolly border that would go around the whole tat. But really? What do I know? :)

Cheers.

James Goodman said...

Cool tat. I posted a pic of one of my Tats as well. Happy HNT!

Queen Of Cheese said...

I'm addicted to Miami Ink and they covered a name up with vines and flowers, a tribal type border around the whole thing might work too, or waves under the anchor.

Jillian said...

Great Tat!! I know a place that around Christmas has an X-Mas sell. The will help you cover up your exs name at a discount!!!!

Happy HNT!!

~art said...

Chuck said...

Sure your husband loves that!! LOL

HHNT!

MamaKBear said...

Thanks y'all! Excellent suggestions...I had actually thought about what everlasting said..extending the branch and adding another koala.

I like the idea of adding Australia to it too.

Logophile said...

Happy HNT!
Cute koala, and I am sure when you go talk to a tattoo artist they will be able to suggest something.
At least you like the pic!

Chicken said...

Oh yes...the tattoo with the name...! How many times have I seen this. Oh well at least you can attribute it to someone else. You could always get a dog and name it Jim too! Just kiddin, you rock sister..HHNT!

Cute, KBear! Happy HNT! I was going to suggest continuing the tree on, but I see you've already gotten good advice there! : )

The Village Idiot said...

You can call me Jim...I won't answer because its not my name..but you can call me Jim.

Happy HNT

Nancy Pants said...

CUTE, very cute!!

Happy HNT!!!

AndyT13 said...

Cute! I wouldn't cover up the name. The story is more intersting with it. BUt it would be easy enough to extend the tree into a little jungle scene. Happy HTN!

Wirthy said...

I am thinking about getting the same tattoo. I'll even include the "jim" part.

Anonymous said...

cute pic. And if you want to disguise the name, there are tattoo artists out there that can camouflage it within another pattern. I've seen other people's tats who have had that done.

Love your tattoo...I can't wait to post mine I have 3.

Happy HNT!

GERBEN said...

Ah, I love the little koala! How cute!

Anonymous said...

Koala.. Love it. I had Simple Dove Carrying a Olive Branch Above my Anklet of Poppies.. Everyone says.. What's the meaning behind the "Twig and the Wishbone"?
Always go for detail.. Great job with yours.
Even if the Jim guy didn't work out. Thank god for the back up Grand Dad even if you have the Tat in an semi-odd location for a Grand-dad dedication. *Smiles*

Merry HNT

Cathy said...

Michelle said...

Hey, I got my third tat in San Diego while I was there on business...In the middle of the tat the power went out and I had to hobble up seven blocks (since it is on my ankle) to find a place that would finish the other artist's work....Not an easy thing to do...Happy HNT!

Anonymous said...

Hey! and HHNT! :)
Hmmm - I got called a koala bear today! Bwahahaha!

SignGurl said...

Look at you girl, almost 100 comments! Beautiful tat.

Mark Leslie said...

Maybe just stick with the grandfather ode theory...or a story that Jim was a stuffed monkey you had when you were young......(that is a monkey, right?) Happy HNT!

deconstructionist said...

That is so adorable! If I were to get a tattoo, it would have to be something cutesy like that. Except I don't know any Jims.

Anonymous said...

Just say the Koala's name is Jim *s*
