AT Tattoo

[Cakon]

People get tattoos because when they get drunk.

This is not true what so ever. Mite be in your case, but not in most. You need to get drunk to handle a Tattoo.
Maybe you should not get one

Never said I was getting a tattoo. I was just making a point that people get tattoos for lesser reasons than thru hiking the AT.

Hah, I just noticed that the OP is "The Saint" from Minnesota.

Kind of ironic. If you watch football.

How so? But I don't watch football.

Football...... Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints

the OP is The Saint from Minnesota,

& surely you know the NO Saints just won the Superbowl.

Just be aware, if you have a tattoo in a visible location, Geno Auriemma won't let you play on the UConn women's basketball team. Just sayin'.

My favorite, of the ones I have seen pictures of is footsloggers:

Have also seen Maps of the AT: on either arm, chest, back, either leg.

IF, I get one, it will be the AT symbol on the back of my lower right leg for a NOBO, Left leg for a SOBO, with teh start & finish dates below. If I finish the AT by sectioning, the symbol will be divided into different colors for each state with Beginning date (3/15/1998) and finish date.

it's just a walkin' trail. nothin' to get tatted over

Nothing's worth getting tatted over. It's a waste of money.

Actually, it does make you look artsy, and it'll give you another reason to impress people with your epic stories from your time on the edge of the known world-the AT.

Lime Green Jelly Bean I believe has one on her outside leg closer to the ankle then the knee, but several inches above the ankle and ankle sock level.

[Johnny Appleseed]

It was the AT LOGO.

W/ a map tattoo you will never lose the trail again.

Bonzo has a large AT Map on his back.

I recommend getting an enormous back piece portrait of me.

Nobody has a back that big.

[Big Dawg]

That's just plain scary

Someone told me the military will not induct anyone with tatoos in certain locations. Maybe neck, fingers, wrist...not sure. Anyone know?

Tattoo restrictions got tighter briefly, and then were revised when recruiters started missing their goals duing the Iraq War.

Most of the current policies seem to restrict not where a tattoo is, but what it's of. Tattoos considered racist, sexist, or obscene typically aren't allowed, regardless of where they are on the body.

Anybody know Lint? He has maps of the AT, PCT and CDT on his arms and legs. Very nice tats.

He also has a giant one across his stomach which reads: Hiker Trash
