Arsenal Tattoo

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

if i was to ever get a tatto (which id have to be pissed off my fucking head) then i would get arsenal on the inside of my lip, some one in the tatto pics on this site had gooners done.

but i reckon they are pointless.

I got a three lions tatto on my chest and dont regret it at all.

My next one is the old badge with the AC lettering and the ball in the middle.

I think they are a thing of personal choice and like me you wont regret it then get it done, if you think you will or a bit hesitant dont.

My advice seems to differ from the general comments on this thread....................Fucking go for it mate,

To date i have 10 tattoos, i did have more, but the numbers deteriated as the tattoos started to join up with one another.

Arsenal related i have the new crest over my heart (Got new crest as it was the crest we had when i got the tat done - Im 22)

I have Dennis Bergkamp's portrait on the inside of my right forearm.

And "ARSENAL" tattooed inside my lip! (The bloke in the pics gallery with "gooner" in his lip is mick who i work with)

I will agree with everyone though, check out the artist first!!! The word artist is key, by law, as long as the premises are clean any idiot can tattoo, talk to people, look at pics etc etc, most importantly, speak to the artist. A great piece can be fuct up by a shit artist!!!!

Whatver you have done, choose wisely, you do have it forever, but unless you plan to change teams, you'll be safe with an Arsenal tat.

Regards

Craig.

P.S, IM booked in for another on Friday - typically its another Arsenal one!!!

I would never get a tattoo. If I had to know then I would get a cannon with AFC written on my back.

It's either that or getting GOONER tattooed on my head :D

In reply to my post earlier about having another session booked for friday, well, today is Monday so i thought i would share the picture.

This is my 11th tat, but fuck me sideways was it the most painful!!!!

I do not recommend this location to anyone!!!!, But i must say, i fuckin love it!!!!!

Here is the result of 1 hour and 20 mins of sheer agony!!!! Must admit though, the adrenaline rush was awesome!!!!

Regards

Craig

It looks great Craig! 8)

I heard that the ribs are one of the most painful places to get done. i got my cannon on my upper arm/shoulder and it "smarted" a bit but no real pain as such.

Out of interest, where did you get it done and how much?

Cheers Guys,

My artist is Big Pete from Physical Graffiti located in Fareham, Hampshire.

It took about 1 hour 20 mins, and set me back £90. Best £90 i ever spend. Pete's normal rate is about £50-55 per hour. If anyone is in the area, he is by far the best artist around. You have to book in though. If you booked in today, i think you would get your tattoo in about February/March time (Thats weekdays, slightly longer for weekends)

When i get time i will have to send my tats into the gallery.

And yes, the ribs is definately one of the worse places. Ive had a lot of upper body work, but nothing compared to that!!!!!

Regards

Craig
