The Hunt for Big Rig Tattoos!

So about 3 weeks ago, I got my second tattoo.  I put a lot of thought (and money) into my tattoos, so they're few and far between but I love them :)  (And yes, there will be photos in this blog, even though they're not big rig related ;-))

Yesterday I was rooting around in my brain for a 18-wheel topic, and I thought I would go out there and look for some cool big rig tattoos! I expected to find some rather rad ones, as I can hardly think of a better model for a bad-ass tattoo than a big rig, but I was disappointed.
I found some neat tattoos that I will post pics of below, but all in all, there was very few pics of big rig tattoos on the net.  I looked up "trucker tattoos" and well, I found a lot of pinups ;-) haha. Some are very cool, but I was actually looking for tattoos of trucks, not girls.  (Well ... at least not girls without a truck in the picture ;-))

If any of you out there have a big rig tattoo to show off, by all means, email me a pic!  We need some big rig tattoos to represent here!! :-)

Ok, so here are some (or ALL) of the tattoo pics I found when searching around for big rig tattoos.

Note: If anybody recognize any of these tattoos as THEIRS, please feel free to email me and let us know the story behind your tattoo.  Tattoos are usually very personal, most of us have a reason for choosing the pictures we place on our bodies, so I'd love to hear the stories behind the trucks below.


Let me start off with a very cool back piece that I found.  It's a tow truck towing a burning dump truck.
No idea if the wearer of this tattoo is the tow truck driver or the guy on fire, either way, it's a cool pic.

 

Below are some more random tat pics I found:

I enjoy good outline type of tattoos, they're often more elegant
than the fully colored ones if done right :)

Now this is a badass truck tattoo! Love the coloring!
Also, I love playing "Mutha Trucka" on my XBox, it's one of my favorite games ;-)







This one's a sweet tribute and a really great way to have his family
with him on the road, even if they're not there in person.


Love this one.... shiny chrome and everything!
(This one had to hurt!!)



I wish this pic was clearer, looks like a lot of detail went into this truck.

Gotta love the Mack bulldog in the driver seat ;-)

Cute!!! :-)

This is actually a tribute to this person's friend, who was on the
road a lot.  Very nicely done, elegant too.













And there you have it.  There were a lot more logos out there than what I pasted in to my post, but I'm really looking for trucks, so unless it's a spectacular logo, I've left most of them off :)


For the ones of you who are curious, here are my tats.  No big rigs .... maybe sometime down the road:

Here is the first one (I really need to take a new one that doesn't have the fresh red skin under it)
It's Thor's hammer (Mjollnir) and the Midgard Serpent.   More info on this tattoo can be found here:


This is my recent tattoo .... most of you should recognize who this is :)
Love it love it love it!

Both of these tattoos were done @ Tattoo Alchemy in Montclair, CA.  I will not go anywhere else! :)
The top one was done by Peachy and the portrait was done by Jason Clay Dunn.

Anyone in California (or anywhere else for that matter) hankering for a tattoo, I highly recommend this studio!:)


Again, if you have tattoos you want to share, feel free.  I'm in particular looking for truck tattoos, but if you have something else you want to share, let us know!


Until next time ............. Stay safe please!
