Has any one ever gotten a coin tattoo? And what coin is it?

notlogical · March 29, 2007 7:04AM

Just wondering?

Sad thing is that I've considered it.

Tatoos are something that should mean something to the tatooee (Is that a word?). I can't see going through with it though.

no, but I did see a coin dealer at coin show who had his ears pointed via surgery to look like Spock.

No kidding.

If I was going to get one, it would be an eagle as opposed to Lady Liberty.

I think the Eagle on the reverse of the Walking Liberty Halfs would be an awesome Tat!

but I'm too chicken to get one cause they hurt........

mirabela · March 29, 2007 7:27AM

I haven't, but come to think of it, seated Liberty would make a pretty nice one.

The flying eagle on the small cent would look pretty cool. For that matter most of the eagles on coin reverses would be pretty cool.

NO. I keep changing what my favorite coin is. Mike

Don't even think about it!

No coin tattoos but I do have a Sacre Coeur on my arm.

No they don't. It just feels very warm with little pinches every now and then while they do the outline.

No they don't. I garauntee you've felt pain already in your life that was much, much worse than getting a tattoo. It's more like a nuisance than true pain.

No but I might in the future. I think the Feuchtwanger Cent eagle would look really cool.

BTW, this is going to be my next icon.

Would you get a tattoo of a whole coin or just a part of the design you like the best?

how would they make gold or silver look good on skin?

hmmm, a "god-less" dollar edge tattoo maybe?
It would look something like this:

MrEureka · March 29, 2007 8:20AM

The thing that holds me back isn't the first tattoo. It's knowing that once I get the first one, I'll want to complete the set, and 55 tattoos seems a bit over the top.

gummibear · March 29, 2007 8:26AM

No. Because if I ever break up that set I would have to have the tattoo removed so my next set does get jealous of my previous set.

I wouldn't want my nickels to suffer from pennies envy.

I think that Marty should get a tattoo of a DCAM Kennedy on his chicken

Get one at the base of your neck and tell me it doesn't hurt Claddy....because it REALLY hurts there.

Regulated · March 29, 2007 9:37AM

If you wanted to do the whole set, you could just start on a shoulder and use your whole back.

Coxe · March 29, 2007 9:41AM

No guy has done a tattoo of a roll of edge-lettered GW dollars down there yet? Now that would be serious dedication. (Wouldn't need a loupe to read the mintmarks either, just a little provocation.)

MrEureka · March 29, 2007 9:52AM

If you wanted to do the whole set, you could just start on a shoulder and use your whole back.

Actually, I would consider a tattoo of an empty Capital Plastics holder on my back, and then I could have the coins tattooed on one by one as I complete the real set. Who needs collection management software when you have something like that?

Ok maybe...but who the heck is going to get one there????? Gosh, some freakazoids out there

Why don't you just have the price tag added while you're at it?

Has any one ever gotten a coin tattoo? And what coin is it?
