These Tattoos were done in Las Vegas @ Club
Tattoo. My wife Brynn and I decided to get the same exact tattoo while in Vegas
right after our wedding! We both have a love for the sport and couldn't
decide on a better time or place to get them done! -Clayton & Brynn Graham |

I've been barefooting For 20 years and I decided about 10 years ago that it was
time for a barefoot tattoo, but I wanted it where I could hide it or show it. |

This is a tat that I had a friend draw based off what I told him. |

Here is the newest ultimate barefoot tattoo. It is still in progress but it
starts down with a rope wrapped around the wrist and then it winds up around the
arm to a front toe handle. The waves are crashing over the rope throughout the
whole sleave. I need to start the color but this is the start of my ultimate
barefoot tattoo. |

Two separate tats on upper back by two different artists, the first being my
nickname SKI and then I added the barefoot tat a couple of summers ago. |

We met Darren "The Real Deal" Owens at the 2010 LA Night Jam in Baton Rouge, LA.
During our conversation, he asked if we'd like to see his footin tattoo.
He said it cost him 4 packs of cigarettes while he was serving a sentence for
the state. To top it off, he explained that the guy doing the tattoo was a
nearly blind Chinese man. You don't get any more REAL than that.

Good Morning Chuck, Went to Hawaii a few years back, of course the
“Hang
Loose” sign is everywhere.
Then it dawned on me…… (Hang Loose on your Bare Feet) would make a great tattoo
and
in the back ground is like the water spray reflecting in the sun light !

I was in my late 20's when I decided to have that done. I was
always into the Goofy Water Skiing Cartoon Photos that you have all seen and I
still to this day have kind of a goofy personality. Just thought it would be a
cool one to have. I always enjoy showing it to people who are blown away at the
fact that I even have a Tattoo.
Go Goofy! |

Ironic timing Chuck! I was on the table getting this brand new tattoo as I got
your announcement! As a former military man and as a very proud American
barefooter I had this drawn I and done. I'm very proud of it. I had it out on
the outside of my calf. Pretty cool I think. Hope it helps to inspire others.
Thank you |

My dad skied on a Denver, Colorado city lake back
in the early 60 called Sloans Lake. As the water supply for this lake is mostly
storm run-off, it wasn't then, and is still today not very clean. So, the local
ski club at the time was nick-named the Sloan's Lake Sewer Rats. Fast forward 30
years to a gravel Pit outside of Denver, where we were able to hold Colorado's
first USA-Water Ski sanctioned Barefoot tournament in 1993. Not having an
identity, and needing one we settled on the Pit 4 Gravel Rats. Over the years
we've had several different versions of the "Gravel Rat" but the boys have
adopted the attached. Tony Sturgess, who now lives in
Bellevue Washington was the first to get inked, followed shortly by myself, Mike
Whitney. Tony has the gray Rat, (first two pics) and not to be an exact
replicate, I went with a brown rat. |

I always wanted to get a tattoo so the first one had to be based on something I
loved, that was Barefoot Waterskiing. We hit the road
to Lake Geneva Wisconsin about a 40 minute drive from Crystal Lake, IL. Hell
that was 15 years ago. The cool thing about this
tattoo is only people in the sport know WTF is stands for!!! Great section keeps
up the great work. |
