Tattoo at Pinkies
Just read a story about pinkies in Honkers. I had my old fella tattooed in pinkies. Funny story, i was drunk and showed a seaman SN that it wouldn't hirt. Can't remember if it did or not. Gee they used a lot of ink doin that tweetie pie. I also had the wifes name tattooed underneath so I wouldn't get in the shit when i got home. I think she has got used of it now after 15 years. Good talkin point at parties

Never got the old fella done as they never had enough ink on hand thats my story and im sticking to it .Full of shit as always Quinny

Geez Quinny my Mrs can't wait to meet you at the reunion... she wants a photograph of the weapon for posterity and maybe the war memorial will bung it up on the wall...

Just as an after thought and I know it shows my age but I had tattoos from Pinky Senior and Pinky Junior...Junior was working with the old man in the middle to late sixties and can any-one tell me when the old Pinky retired ?

Shirl, You got promoted to PO? S**t, I should have stayed in!!!! But alas, I was in 'F' troop with Noddy Nordberg at Nirimba and it was the intention of the watch (all 5 of us) to get F's and I's on our PP1A's (we succeeded). Billy Rose just never could understand why we aimed so low :-)

Never forget being in pinkies in 74 with Noel Lynch, Banjo Patterson, Dave Lobley and Paul Flanagan. Banjo was having his chest worked over and (sceamin), Noel was having an eagle done across his back and (sceamin). While we waited the fridge was emptied, mm not bad those sam migs, the slop said to me you next, well my old man who was in the RN 39-45 drummed into me don't waste your money on tatts as you can never take them off, well all of a sudden that message came flashing back and I was out of there in a flash, ripped my strides hurdling the fences in the middle of the strip in honkers. still no tatts

Yes they don't come off and now i have the rest of my life to resent the impetuous of my youth .Still can't handle seeing a tattoo on a woman it makes them look like they should be propping up the bar at Rockers or the Friscos They call it a fashion accessory in women these days Yeah right

Managed to talk my neice out of getting a tatt . Stripped to my jocks and showed her what they look like after 40 years , then I had to show a few of her girl friends as well . Made them all re - think their plans . Got a lecture from the Child Bride about flashing my body to all those young tarts tho . My tatts aren't a problem to me , been there , earnt them !! But on young girls , no way!

Well put jaffa Mine too are showing signs of age Mine arent really a problem these days as im no longer working But when i was a the catholic boarding school They werent looked upon in a very good light. I suppose in a way we earnt them wasnt to many got out of pussers without one I reckon could be all different these days .Can any one remember the bloke in singapore with Two Thumbs Johhny i think his name was he put the eyes on my arse. He was a bit of a legend but not as well known as pinkies . I flash the arse art at parties and when im a bit pissed but that dosent happen much at a ll these days as I only have a couple of light beers these days I havent been drunk since 1996 Me and Rastes Tied one on when my son got married in Nowra .

Gees Col pinkies in Honkers must off touched more slugs than lovely Heather at FRISCOS. Yes I remember myself and little fat nobby getting that and a arse job done in 78. The loal artist down this way just laughed when I asked him to make them look a bit more modern

Yes Jude no point in using a well worn canvas yeah reckon your right he would have handled quite a few slugs in his day .

FAT KNOBBY
Fat knobby still shares his decorated cheeks well with merchant seamen judy, diggersGees Col pinkies in Honkers must off touched more slugs than lovely Heather at FRISCOS.

I got 2 aussie flags with my mum and dads name underneath done at pinkies while i was on Hobart for the "87" goodwill trip. I went to get my old fella tattooed but the needle kept breaking. Thts what happens when the only size that would be able to do it was the width of a wisker and about the same length.
