Ok old timers, a back in the day question.

On your palm?! Ouch!

Dont palm tatts fade all the time?

 

Very nice. Love to see someone spreading the gospel.

God Bless

 

It wasn't tattoos, it was your handle. It was at the top of the drivers door on your truck. Back in the day, a trucker was known by everyone everywhere by his handle. Even the wives called them by their handle. Lots of the guys came in straight out of the military with tats, but they were known by the handle they were given in the military. If you got into the business without a handle, the old hands would give you one and that's what you were stuck with.

Closest thing to a trucker tat was the phrase on the back of the sleeper.

If you're gonna get a trucker based tat, base it on what you're known by or known as.

 

How ya doing there, PackRat?

"I'm doing all of them I can, driver. Doing the easy ones twice."

 

Can't believe no one mentioned mudflap girl. One of the most iconic in the industry. I've seen many at the buffet with this on their arm

 

Check post ten.

Though, he called her mudflat girl. Lol, maybe the ones he sees are less voluptuous?

 

How about this; crusty looking cowboy with cowboy hat & cigarette and the words "Last of the Cowboys" , "Outlaw Trucking" or "Last of the Outlaws"

 

I don't have any tats so whats those numbers represent?

 

Oops good catch I didn't notice

 

I'll let you know in a few hours.
