Been trying to figure out how to work a Tommy into
my traditional Japanese Tattoo, an ongoing project.
I'll get one in there somewhere/sometime!

ZAMM...............ouch!

I'm having one drawn up that is a either Hammerhead shark or White shark holding a Thompson w/drum. That will go on my right upper arm/shoulder. I'll work the Harley into it later.

full auto 45,
Man, a Hammerhead and a Thompson, cool!

Ah, an excellent idea, have a traditional
Japanese creature ( hungry ghost, etc...),
holding a thompson.

Thanks Mike!

1928 style with the comp. With the 50 round drum visable.

[The1930sRust]

What about tatooed BY a Thompson?

[full auto 45]

Now that would hurt. Unless the artists last name is Thompson.

Any good artists here......with a pencil that is?

Thank-you Zamm.4 years yikes!!! You're a very patient man!

Mike i think that photo of you with the two thompsons crossing each other would make an awesome tattoo.

1930's rust good you brought that up i have a question, a gangster by the name of Joe Aiello got heavily tattooed by Capone thompsons in 1930.
50 something bullets from two machinegun nests with a third at the ready (Capone's men were meticulous at killing).Aiello begins to run away from one nest and ends up in a cross fire from another.
The papers reported that they removed a pound of lead.Does fifty slugs really equal a pound?

This gives me some great ideas for my next one...I never thought about a Thompson tattoo...after all these years that should have been a no-brainer....now to pick out just the right image..hmmm...

One of the beliefs of the religion I practice is that God created man in His own image. Hence no tattoos, no nipple piercing, no hair transplants, no breast implants, etc. We can still look at Pamela Sue Anderson, though, as long as we don't have lust when doing so.

I assume the guys were using the standard 230 grain ball loads. 50 of those = 11,500 grains. 11,500/7,000 = 1.64 pounds.

Thank-you Phil!I can always count on you to clear up the technical stuff for me.

Don't know about any Thompsons being there but I sure Scarface Al is.

Yeah, when we die we go to Heaven. Actually, we never die - we live forever. At least it seems like it.

Hey Ploughboy, you've been married a long time, too?

Ok, I admit it, I've never understood tatoos, way too permanent for me. A chick with a tatoo does nothing for me. But I got to ask, Chitown guy, what's the allure? I can see being into the gangster era and Thompsons and such, but why a permanent reminder of a thug, murderer, lowlife, POS? What are you trying to say, death from syphilus triumphs over the law? To me it would be like a Che, Stalin, Hitler or Castro tatoo. Nothing personal but where you coming from with this?
