I thought this would be appreciated.

That's good line work (I know pun). Is that your inner arm? bet you cried a lil. I like it, my boss has a slippery fig 8. I keep looking for images of a gray scale doug fir silhouette for my fore arm with a twig and cone detail in the side.

That's awesome!

Evo, the Doug Fir tat sounds cool, too!

Very nice! Do you forget a bowline often?

I got this one about ten years ago. I'm already getting the "Dad, when can I get a tattoo?" question.

 

[tomthetreeman]

That looks alot like mine.

 

[SirTreeRat]

Nice rope tat...

...I have a yellow birch on my right arm...

 

[SirTreeRat]

This rat on my left arm...

 

[robinia]

evo,
this is from Farrar's 'Trees In Canada'.
Might be what you're looking for...

 

[evo]

Thanks Robinia, It is the closest to what I have in mind from the books I've looked at. Perhaps I can tweak it on photoshop, or just have the tattoo artist draw their own from it.

Robert Van Pelt's books have some great pencil drawings of Douglas-firs evo, as well as other coastal conifers.

Yea, that's pretty cool, but if you start tatooing instructions for a class I double braid splice you have gone to far!

 

[willbranch]

Great tattoos , Branded by our professions. About the splice , maybe three strand, that would be cool.

Locking brummel? 16-strand? Whoopies, loopies... I don't think I'm going to have enough skin.
