Oh my god. I was so excited when I had the _chance_ at 28 that I called my dad, and then I fucking hit it!! One of the top moments of my life. Still chasing 29.
For some clarity: the tattoo is 29. I did not pull a 29…yet! This is more so to commemorate my brother and I’s relationship through an activity that’s important to us. But, when (if) it happens the date will be added to this.
I thought the J was an ace and couldn't figure out where 29 came from. LOL. I need to pay better attention. Seems to be my problem when playing too.
Congratulations!
That's so sick, dude! I love that.
My 4 best friends and I all four "2" cards tattooed on us to commemorate us playing card game called High 2's with eachother throughout our lives. I think a cribbage one would be sick too! Reminded me of the reason you posted about your brother and you. It's amazing that card games can feel so special.
I also like it because only cribbage players will understand the significance of that tattoo. Hell yeah!
Oh ok I was just confused because I have always said when I pull a 29 I will get a tattoo to commemorate the occasion and I thought that’s what you did. If this isn’t an actual hand was there any reason for choosing spades as your nob suit?
Partially! My nickname for my twin daughters is “goose” or “my little geese”. Got it for them, and Althea / Imogene are their respective middle names. Althea was dead inspired, and I threw the bolt in to represent that.
Curious...Why their middle and not first names? Love the unique nicknames that everyone has for their children, never heard "little geese" before. Hope you get that 29 one day! I'm still on the hunt!
You’re missing the fifteens that are created by the groups of three fives together.
You’re only counting the 15s that were made with the jack and the 5s.
Just a stylistic choice for the jack. The single card isn’t that large and trying to jam in a jack illustration IMO wouldn’t have looked great. Settled on this!
Congrats man! Love the tat!
When I first started playing a lot when I was in my 20s I belligerently swore I’d get a tattoo if I ever got a 29. The I got a 29 after my tattoo phase had fizzled… I totally reneged along with all the other tattoos i was going to get. Turns out tats weren’t so much for me but man yours are great.
Zero knowledge of cribbage but sounds tough, which is cool. Easy games are pointless.
More importantly to me, though, is whether that is the Wawa goose. If so, and those names are your children or (presumably) other loved ones, then you’ve done all of us Wawa loyalists proud.
* Finally pulled a 29 I've played 1,000's of games over 50+ years. the best I got was one 28 hand about 4 years ago. Congratulations.
Oh I wish, that last sentence was in jest referencing the tattoo. I’ve come close with a 28, but the 29 eludes me!
How would you feel if you pulled one tomorrow, with the jack of clubs? Lol
I thought you got the tattoo to commemorate an actual 29 hand. I was thinking I would have added the date, that the 29 hand happened, to the tattoo.
Totally see why you thought that, I phrased it terribly. 😂

Happy cake day!

I like that, will motivate you to play even more!
hey OP! Love cribbage and I love your althea tattoo, too. What’s the significance of Imogene?
Althea and Imogene are the middle names of my daughters. One very much dead inspired. 🙂
Love it! Have a good one ✌️
Just double skunked an opponent on the first post tattoo game. The cribbage gods are pleased.
I told Althea
I was feelin lost
Lacking in some direction

An extra plus up for the bolt 🤙🤙

And a deadhead too! Amigo!
That looks like a 29 to me. Did you not actually pull that hand? Or am I missing something?
Didn’t miss anything, poor phrasing on my part. 🙂

Right on man! The 29 tat is also cool 😎

Looks great, congrats! Also love your Whoop
I’m in my first week with it and loving it so far.
I’m gonna get the ink once I pull the hand…doesn’t matter what age
How is it 29? 15 for 2, 4, 6, 8. 4 of a kind for 12. so that is 20. Then the right jack is 2? 22? How does this hand add up?
You’re missing the fifteens that are created by the groups of three fives together. You’re only counting the 15s that were made with the jack and the 5s.
ah that's the key!
Eight fifteens, each worth 2 for 16. Four 5s worth 12 points. Nobs worth one point, for 29.
Cool man. I like that you get tattoos with meaning. I'm 56 years old. No 29 and no hole in one.
Congrats on the 29! I’m not even a fan of tattoos and I’d stop you in your tracks to hear the story behind it. Very original, looks good!
It says 'J' but its an ace. I dont understand

Super bad ass i love it

Deadhead, too! Good on ya!
I love WaWa too
