Beer Tattoos

I'm considering a beer-related tattoo...but it's not necessarily to promote a specific brewery, it's more an outward manifestation of things that interest me. There is one logo that really embodies some of the things that I appreciate...thus the tattoo.

I was just wondering if there are any of you out there with beer related tattoos...I'd really like to see them!

Show them off with pride!

I don't have any tattoos but have always contemplated getting a small one related to brewing. My idea is something along the lines of an old world brewer's guild crest or something like that. Mash paddle, barley, hops and tun nicely assembled to form a small tattoo. Looking forward to some ideas.

Did that one member called something like Beta_Pleated_Sheet get a hops vine on her ankle? I remember her posting a picture about a year or so ago, and it was really nice. I'll see if I can dig that up.

Edit- found it! Her name is Beta Pleated Sheet (no _) and she posted this picture:


She hasn't been around in quite a while- I wonder why?

I've wondered that too yooper. No idea where she went, just disappeared one day.

That's a great idea about the brewers guild crest. The older the better for sure!

Those are some pretty sweet hops right there too. I'm a fan.

I can't help but make a visual connection between hops and another plant.. Don't know if I'd get it put on my body, haha.

Funny, I thought they looked like artichokes.

I have been drawing one up for several months now. I'm running out of room on my body and I can't decide where to put it.

One of my friends has this on this shin.

I've been considering one as well... maybe an oak barrel, hops and something else... Id love to see more pics of what people have!

I like this idea too.. but it would have to be something only a fellow brewer would know/understand.

hop grenade?

or... you could get "Watch for High Krausen" on your ass

As die hard as many of us are, I'm suprised more of us do not have beer themed tattoos. I do not have a tatt, but if I decide to get one, it will be related to brewing. I'd like something to symbolize the four traditional beer ingredients, maybe as an armband tattoo.

One of my Dad's friends has BEER written across his huge beer gut.

I saw a picture a while back of a big fat guy with a tattoo of the top of a six pack on his belly. I thought that was pretty awesome.

Shortly after she told everyone she was into women, through a very drunken post, (you should read that if you get the chance, funny BTW). Most of the guys on here went gaga crazy, add to the fact that she was very young, hot and some type of computery/microbiology dork and you know this being the internet and all... I think we scared her off.

I like the repeat offender one. I'm also surprised more folks on here don't have beer-themed ink. Makes me kindof feel like I'm on the cutting edge! When I get mine done that is...

This is the top of a sleeve on my left arm.

Nicely integrated touch! I like the subtlety of it.

Velotech, is that hop variety tattnenger?

HEY OHHH !!

I have always wanted to get a tatoo...maybe something beer related.
We shall see

Trying to think of a design for the next one. Any artists around who want to mix music and beer? .

I was thinking of a hop plant on my shoulder, I'd love to see some more beer tatoos.

Any artists in the house? I am thinking a hop (no face or anything) with headphones on for the back of my calf to mix my two hobbies. I typically prefer black and white since there is less touch up involved. Just throwing it out there .

A good pic of the type of headphones I am talking about can be found here. I think everyone knows what a hop looks like!

any decent tattoo artist could draw that up in a few minutes. go for it and let us know how it turns out.

The real problem is the artist I use is now 1000 miles away. New town mean no one I know. I am looking around though.

I went to see my tattoo artist today. I am having him draw something up for this Saturdays session. I gave him a picture of a hop cone and a picture of some barley. He said he would come up with something (he is an awesome artist). As I was walking out the door I heard him mentioning demons and bottles, we'll see what the drawing looks like.

Yea I remember that now. Once again, the horny internet nerds drove off another dame.

A little blurry, but you get the idea

That is ****ing sweet!! I love the skull behind the pilsner glass.
