I probably would have if it had been a boy!That's some nice ink, fellas.
@WestCoastIPA, kinda surprised you didn't name your first born "WestCoast".
My wife is from the Inland Empire area of Southern California (Fontana) in San Bernardino County. I’m from the South Bay Area of Los Angeles County. I always teased her and told her we used to call that area Fontucky! I said you had to be white, own a boat, or a 4x4, or a dirt bike to live out there! It was (and still is) the land of the lifted pick up trucks! Haha! My wife is a river girl, while I grew up by the ocean.Damn, you take your handle on here as seriously as I do. Lol
I tell most folks from these cigar forums that meet me that redneck is what I truly am. Big difference in a redneck and white trash, though. The "toy" part came from running toyotas on the trail. Redneck has been my nickname for years in my rock crawling circles. Had a huge handlebar moustache back in the day. Not to mention the epic mullet I rocked until the early 2000's. There is evidence of that here on this board.....
I hear you. Tattoos ( for me) are an expression of you and your values, for the most part. Most older folks frown on them. I could care less. I'm 48, and still getting them. No telling when I'll be done.My wife is from the Inland Empire area of Southern California (Fontana) in San Bernardino County. I’m from the South Bay Area of Los Angeles County.

As for my tattoo, most people think it stands for the West Coast style of IPA’s, but it actually stands for my favorite beer (West Coast IPA from Green Flash Brewery). They used to use the Iron Cross on t-shirts and advertising for that beer. I’ve been using WestCoastIPA as my handle for years now on every message board I’m on.
