I am thinking about getting a golf related tattoo and I am just curious if anyone else has one or many?

I know someone that had a golf ball tat. Somethings are better left untatooed and that particular tattoo was one of them. I can't really think of a cool golf tattoo except for the Seminole that Seminole Golf Club (North Palm Beach) has for their logo and that would be only if you like Native American stuff. I am curious to see what is out there.

I am saving a spot on my right shoulder for my first hole-in-one. It won't be too gaudy, probably something like the number 1 with a ball in the middle of it. It will have the date, course name, hole number, distance and club used. All of my tattoos are able to be covered by a polo. It's been about 4 years since my last one. I already have my next one designed, that is unless the hole-in-one happens before that.

I currently have two tatoos... one on each of my outer upper arms... both coverable by a tee-shirt or polo. I plan on getting at least two more... one on each shoulder. I want a golf one, but like you guys I can't think of anything cool. I have thought of the hole-in-one thing, but I'm also impacient and will probably get the next tat in the next couple years. Right now I have one that pertains to my religion and another that relates to my career... I don't want something that I will hate in 5-10 years.

Tattoos are the worst invention ever. Unless you are a tribal warrior or in the military and the tattoo has meaning beyond, "hey, I think I should get a tattoo." Think about when you are wrinkled and gray, a grandfather/mother. THINK! I have five and I can't stand any of them. Having them laser removed. WHICH F'IN HURTS!

The two I have DO have meaning and I'm neither of those things... when I'm old and wrinkled I won't mind having them on my arms... I am 28, got my first at 23, and have NO regrets, and won't when I'm 68. My grandfather and father both had two... and niether regretted theirs.

That being said... you certainly should not get one on a whim, and you should think about how it will effect your career, etc. and pick an appropriate location. Many people really like having tatoos and to make a blanket statement of "DON'T GET ONE" is kind of inappropriate. I think better advice would be wait a year and if you still think it's a good idea then get it... or think hard about it and the consequnces, etc.

Everytime I get the urge, I wait a month...the urge fades away. Maybe it's just the golf OCD showing up in a different. way.

How about a topless devil biker chick holding a putter...OK, holding a Scotty Cameron putter...hmmm. I think that one is popular at Winged Foot.

I am losing it...

I have a tattoo, but I don't think I would ever get one of something related to golf...

I have three and they all have certain meaning to me. I tell people all the time to only get one if you are really sure. Think ahead 5, 10 , 20 years. Will it still mean the same to you then. My first one is a basketball with a Nike Swoosh through it. At the time basketball was a huge part of my life. Next I got a Chicago Bulls logo on my right arm. My oldest son is Jordan Michael so that probably explains that one. My third is a tribal sun between my shoulder blades. It has the Japanese symbol for family in the middle with the date I was married and the birth dates of my two sons.

The big thing with tattoos is they are individual expressions. I will never tell someone not to get one. At the same time I would not tell them they should. I simply say if you are going to get one, think about it long and hard. I will never get one that can be seen when I am wearing a short sleeve shirt. They have to have some meaning to me. My next one will be a band arround my left bicep. It will be a watch. The face will not have numbers or hands. It will say Now. The band of the watch will say "Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On." It comes from Jimmy Buffett's song by the same name. I read a great quote one time that said "The only difference between someone who has a tattoo and someone who does not is that someone who has one does not care if you have one or not."

I have been wanting to get one for a few years but, like most of you have said, could not sketch out anything that I would want to have on my body for the rest of my life. Golf is a big part of my life. It's a sport that I am extremely passionate about and hope to be playing until I pass away. I am not looking for anything gaudy or extreme. I am playing around with the idea of creating something along the lines of the LPGA symbol. I like that idea and I think something small on my shoulder will suffice.

Thanks for your input.

I have 8 total but they are all corporate tattoos, so they cover up nicely with a polo.

DON'T DO IT!

The one on my right butt cheek says "made in England"; so when I'm old and grey, and its all wrinkled, I think the people checking it out will have much bigger issues then me

I have quite a few tattoos and one full 1/2 sleeve (shoulder to elbow and all the way around) that I'm presently working on; no golf tattoos though. I would definitely support those who reccomend you think a while on it. I do not regret anything I've had inked, but each tattoo was about a year long decision making process.

What I would reccomend also would be to go to a reputable artist even if it is a drive and pricey. Don't go to some hole-in-the-wall joint. You will get what you pay for. Then, once you have found an artist, give him or her your ideas and see if maybe they can offer you some insight and design ideas.

Tattoos begin to fade and the ink will slowly spread with time. You don't want your tattoo of a golf ball to look like a sphere of swiss cheese in 15 years. Also, white ink fades out the quickest because it is the lightest. In a year, I would be surprised if you could still see the white ink.

I hope this helps. Good luck with your decision.

I always wanted a tattoo and was never sure what to get. I love golf and started thinking about how I feel when I play...my tattoo is a reflection of that.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.

      This is why you should never have any expectations when you play golf even when you think things are starting to click together. In end golf will just curb stump you.
