gib Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 If after serious thought or a full moon or large vat of alcohol intake or any combination thereof, what form of tatoo would you have applied to your skin to show your a). love of Leica b). non love of Leica Please feel free, yet responsible, when posting, to specify details of location, while keeping in mind that this is a family of photographic folk including young'uns.

gib Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 Yeah, Peter, I have been reading the glow thread. Plus, I have a couple of herniated discs which are making my version of walking right now mean that snails lap me. I just thought we might have some fun. at least part of mine would be Made in Canada and a serial number that would fit the year 1953 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awahlster Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 The outline of a Canon L-1 in black with a 50mm f1.4 and proper hood I think Right shoulder would do nicely. I'll let you decide if that is pro or con of which I am neither owning both Canon Rf and Leica Rf's as the case may be. I just like my L-1 best. And I wish it was Black.

johnmarkpainter Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I suppose it would be bright red on my Forehead and it would say "Loser" in Leica script. THen of course I would put black tape over it so as not to attract attention. jmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee hamiel Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Reminds me of a friend I played hockey with - had a Bruins tattoo on his forearm - a big one - he was drafted & dedicated his life to them - then was traded ... If I was to get tat's - I would look like a freak - would look like Nascar or Indy cars because of all the cameras I have or have used.. Besides - I don't even like wearing clothing with logos - so a tattoo would probably have to be something like an image I've taken - not a logo per se. Hence - the only option would to have one on my ... which would read "Linkninhfaia" in one state & in the other state would read "LeicaNikonLinhofMamiya" Not sure the wife would like it much - would need too many lens tissues to clean :) Sorry if I've gone overboard here - not enough alcohol yet to make me a reasonable person.

socke Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Last time I was close to getting a tatoo my friends where so drunk, they forgot me under the table in a pub. So I woke up with a bad hangover like everybody else but without a sailingship or an anchor on my arms :-) Must have been autumn 1985 in Newcastle, that Brown Ale is potent ...

donald_brewster Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Tough crowd -- I think a funny question anyway. I'd do a red dot of course. Would also do double duty to show my love of the Goerz "red dot" Artars I use on my 8x10 Deardorff. Not sure where I'd put it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
