8 XXX : gaybears

I'm surprised how popular it is. Seems more cliche to me.
As someone with a bear paw tattoo I would heartily agree that its almost the equivalent to a butterfly tramp stamp. That being said, mine personally means something to me for when I came out. The group of guys I was with really took care of me and helped set me up to be the best person I could be. Could I have chosen something else? Probably... But this is a tattoo I want to still love it 20 years down the road.
"I'll fuck anyone," I usually take it to mean. Not complaining, per se. Just noting my experience with fellas wearing that particular ink.
I participated in a bear contest about 7 years ago. I was the only participant without tattoos and one of the judges specifically mentioned he liked interesting tattoos on bears. Surprisingly, I came in 2nd place.
