Post Pics of your tattoos...
 

Mines in the Avatar...

I did a quick search and didn't see a thread like this.

Dude...why??

I really only want to see your sports tattoos...

I know that Joey has one (apparently) Why not?

I have another tat, but I dont seem to have a pic of it.

So what are you going to do when the Chargers move to LA and change their name...?

Maybe I can get a cover up to make it look like a unicorn...

I would, under no circumstances, ever get a sports tattoo.

All of my tats can be summed up by this photo:

.

I've got that sentiment from a lot of people, yet they have no good explanation...

Explain please...

I realize I'm fuggin retarted, but is there really a horse in the Charger's logo?


I'm sorry, but I don't know.

Nevermind. Read the other thread. I should just ****ing go to bed.

What, they're wrinkly and scary looking?

yeah maybe you just ****ing should. :)

Well I guess I can chalk you up as another person who wont tell me why.

Looks like a bronco to me.

My most recent.......

Your tat is too colorful and busy for my taste. I would've went with just the bolt and not added color.

but thats just me

What does your pastor think of your tatoo?

I dont have one of those

Looks like it was done with a magic marker to me.

I almost got a tattoo in my early/mid 20's... 10 years later, I'm so glad that I did not.

Was thinking it was a temp tatto as well... maybe it's the angle.

Let me try.

I grew up in Cleveland as a rabid Browns fan. I lived and died with "my" team. I suffered through the Raiders' interception in the end zone that killed Brian Sipe and the original Kardiac Kids.

I mourned through the weeks after The Drive and The Fumble. I knew for damned sure that "my" Cleveland Browns were better than the Broncos both years. As it turned out, Elway, Reeves and company tanked those Super Bowls in an embarrassing manner, and I had the cold satisfaction of knowing that the better team -- "my" Browns -- would have given the NFC a better contest.

A few years later, after the city of Cleveland declined to build a new stadium for Art Modell, "my" Browns moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens. Suddenly my mind was clear. The Browns were never mine, and they were never Cleveland's. They belonged to Modell and he could do anything he bloody well wanted with them.

Modell and the NFL left the colors, the name, the history and the records in Cleveland after the city sued the NFL (and after they agreed to build the stadium that would have kept Modell's Browns in town). As for me, I knew more about the Ravens that won the Super Bowl than I knew about the expansion Browns that came later.

If you think that you have a stake in "your" team simply because you're a fan, I'd encourage you to look more closely at the business of the NFL.

You don't own a team. Your city doesn't own a team. All that stuff is a marketing mechanism. (Who would pay big money to buy season tickets to the Bowlen Broncos? The Hunt Chiefs?)

Your loyalty may change because your loyalty means nothing to an owner whose loyalty may have more to do with profits than it has to do with your support.

I don't have a Browns tattoo, and I never had to think about removing one. I'm not going to get a Broncos tattoo.

Maybe I'll get one when I own a team.

Nah. There'd come a day when I sell the team anyway.

Yeah, I'd never get a colorful tat.

I guess the #1 reason is that teams move. Granted, I don't know how long the Chargers lease is for, but it would make me a little reticent.

#2 is the fact that it's something completely disassociated from you. I guess I view Sports tats/brands like I would tats for a band. Somewhat sad and clingy.

#3 is the fact that sports teams regularly change their logos. How would you like to have gotten the old Denver 'D' only for them to change to that fiery donkey??

Hamas is more succinct. Good job.

What happens if the Chargers go back in the tank? So, you want to go to the beach on a Sunday afternoon in the fall and wonder to yourself.... "I hope none of the ladies see my Charguhs tat."

That may be true, however, even if the Chargers leave town, the Chargers have always been my team. If they leave I will still have the tattoo, and I will still be proud that I was a Chargers fan for 20+ Years.

Its not like I am a fan of the organization, Im a fan of all the players who have given me joy over the years. This tattoo represents them, not the silly ownership, who will probably move the team.

If they do move, I would never consider having my tattoo removed, and I would never switch allegiances to a hated rival...

I never want to leave San Diego. After living here forever, I cant stand anywhere else. If the Chargers do leave, it is not likely that they will get another NFL franchise, the City Government would never allow it.

I am glad that someone finally gave me a reason, and I respect your opinion, but that doesnt mean that since I got a sports team tattoo, someone has to make me feel like an idiot for getting one.

Everyone has been telling me how lame sports team tattoos are and how they'd never be crazy enough to get one. I guess not everyone is as loyal to their team as I am to mine.

Who knows, time may change my mind, but for now, thats my story and I'm stickin to it.

Dude, I have incorporated their old logo into this.

The newest logo isn't even on the tat. The Yellow bolt is outlined in Black, not powder and navy blue like the new one.

Also, is it not the fans who make a team? If it wasn't for us fans, would professional sports even be popular?

I am not a bandwagon fan.

I have one in Black and White, and on the other arm, one in color.

I dont see anything wrong with it.

I tatted KC to one leg and CHIEFS to another. Doesn't mean I'm the most loyal Chiefs fan...Just means I got drunk and had a tat gun. Plus, some kid in highschool had one so I was trying to show him up. :shake:

any college alumni ever get a tat of their schools logo? I don't think I would do that, but it would make better sense to me to do that than get a Chiefs tat. Since you were at least affiliated with the school.

ROFL oh sweet fuck ROFL

so why does your tat have a horse on it?

buckingkaeding is ripped! ROFL

Thanks for noticing... nlm

This post would have made a lot more sense of CleavelandChief had posted it.

Check out my physique...

I'll take "name these two fictional charaters" for $1000, Alex.

ROFL ROFL

is that really you buckin?

Thats me....Im not tellin you left or right though...

Most people can't pull off the cape look, but I must say kudos to you for trying.

It's so obvious which one. But I never knew you were black! Or were superman!

smokin kryptonite

I have no intention of making you feel like an idiot. You're a fan.

On the other hand, you asked for someone to give you a reasonable argument against branding yourself with a corporate logo that represents someone else's property.

What was I supposed to say to make you feel better about an unfortunate decision? I'm willing to give it a shot.

Yeah, no doubt...your opinion is valid.

Thats just not my opinion.

you think that's ****ed up? I have go royals on my leg too. it's small, but it's there.

No, it's the owner, the PR firm, the advertising agency, and our own delusions that the fans matter.

And the media, both print and broadcast, who perpetrate the illusion.

And thank God it's not my arm.

If everyone stopped caring the team would fall flat...

Ask the WUSA, XFL, WBL, USFL, WFL, WISL, NFL Europe, etc....

Help! Help! Come see the violence inherent in the system!

that's the queerest hat I've ever seen...bend the bill a little...or buy a hat from the new Millennium...shit, my Grandpa where's hats like those

WTF are you talking about thats a baseball cap...Im just a little tall and the person taking the pic was short, bad angle...My hair was a little shaggy back then and it made my hat rest higher on my head as well....

Are those both on you?

these are some of the gayest tattoos I've ever seen

Buckin may be correct. It was always a fan thing and never a business thing.

It wasn't until fans started getting tats that the NFL finally succeeded.

Or maybe he's wrong.

If that's your arm in your avatar, it should be too difficult to figure out.

Where are yours?

There is a simple formula for any business, is your product wanted or needed?

If not you fail, If so you succeed, Fans want football, it flourishes.

I guess I may be wrong here though, I'm just a kid, what do I know?

The wife has the one on the left, I have the one on the right. On our right inside ankles. Each is 1/2 the yin-yang inside the center of the sun.

Cool, I figured that, one of you seemed a little bigger than the other.

Cool concept.

I have three. None of sports teams.

What if you don't have any........I figure since everyone gets them now, I'll be different by not having any tattoos...

More power to ya...you shouldnt get a sports tattoo anyways.

All I have to do is wear sleeves and people will just assume I have them....because well the rest of my look.

I say don't let others dictate what you do. If you want one, get one. If you don't, don't.

I'm not a ****ing homo?

HARDCORE

I'm sure you have a gay ****ing rainbow on your upper back, some gay girly ****ing generic gay tattoo on your ankle, and a ****ing cliche lower back tattoo that all wanna-be-slutty girls have!

am I right? am I right?

I dare you to walk into a bar and call 5 people with tattoos homos.

No rainbows. Yes on the ankles. No tramp stamp.

Sarcastic tatoos would work, too.

You must be really shy in real life, cause you sure are a ****ing dick on here.

Are you aware of what I look like, you'd probably think I was one of your weed smokin pals LOL.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

because that's a direct correlation

Didn't think so.
