+BlueDeuce Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) While trying to avoid the glare of your posting I do believe there is at least one cacher who has a TB tattoo. A tad bit more human than I care to copy. Edited November 6, 2008 by BlueDeuce Quote Link to comment
+osubrownsfan Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I have a TB Shirt i wear and i'm human, does that count ??????? Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Probably a lot, I think I've seen at least three tattoos in these forums, there are trackable bracelets being sold as well as car decals and magnets. There is more than one Human TB, but who can count them when most cachers never even enter the forums? Quote Link to comment

+TripCyclone Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Once, in a discussion within the Nebraskache group, we were discussing this and I joked about tattooing. I had someone dare me to tattoo my forehead. I went for a less permanent option and attended a big event in Nebraska with a Travel Bug attached to my cheek. Simple Halloween make-up did the trick. I'm finally releasing it for good on Saturday with an actual goal. You can see a picture on it's page: http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=1744143 Quote Link to comment
+Jackalgirl Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I don't know if this counts, exactly, as I don't have the TB tracking number tatooed or anything, but I do have my travel bug Jackalgirl, which I call "the trackable ka of Jackalgirl" and which I log in and out of the caches I visit with a little diary entry of my personal impressions. It's actually attached to my camera bag, which I take caching with me, and is on the same split ring as one of my pathtags, so it jingles. Quote Link to comment
+Moss Troopers Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I don't know any human travel bugs (at least not any that are trackable at Geocaching.com) but I think it's a fun idea. I want to get my son a travel bug shirt (like this one http://worldcaching.com/catalog/product_in...products_id=332 ) but I can't find them in his size. Does anyone know where I could get a boys size 6 travel bug shirt? Quote Link to comment

Does anyone know where I could get a boys size 6 travel bug shirt? If you've got a laser- or ink-jet printer, I'd buy some iron-on transfer paper that's good for the type of printer. Then, buy a travel bug so that you have a tracking number. Take a photo of it, or generate a graphic of it in your favorite graphic software. Print it out and iron it onto a t-shirt of the appropriate size. It's even easier to do than it sounds. Just pay attention to the transfer paper that you've got and follow the instructions (some types require you to reverse the image, which is easy to do in most graphic software packages).

+Socorro Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Me! I just got mine ("Mountaineer") and I'll be wearing it when I cache and such. Not getting the number tattooed on me though... as interesting an idea that may be... Quote Link to comment

Thanks for the advice. We finally found a travel bug shirt in his size. We're going to release him on his birthday, but don't tell, it's a surprise. You can find him here: Joe the Travel Bug Quote Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 (edited) I like the "Discover Me" Name Tag geocoins. Maybe someone will buy me one for Christmas! Edited November 26, 2008 by Harry Dolphin Quote Link to comment
+tomfuller & Quill Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I and many other Oregon geocachers have "discovered" Odder. For nearly a year she carried her TB on a chain around her neck and logged it into and out of every cache she found. Over a year ago she had the image of an otter and her TB# tattooed on the outer side of her upper thigh. The only other living TB I have "discovered" was a cat I saw at this years Champoeg event.

+DiamondDaveG Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 For those that arent interested in getting a tattoo to become a human TB, over here are some toddler TB shirts available and there is discussion of adding adult sizes and TB ballcaps to the mix. Quote Link to comment
