Player tattoos

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.

I must admit, I made a bit of a mistake with mine- got me girlfriends name done in black ink at the top of me right arm (nice joining up letters and that, looked all classy) and then, as you do, we fell out. Nee bother I thought, St Georges cross/ SAFC badge over it I thought. Went into the place and they said "oh no mate, if the tattoo is black you cant put anything with lighter colours over it, if you do the old tattoo will still show through" :banghead:

so now I'm stuck either with having her name on me arm (we kind of keep getting back on and then falling out again so its fine sometimes), getting it lasered off (nope, I'm far too soft for all that, sounds aw git painful and that) or getting some meaningless shite over the top of it to cover it :cry:
you could get it made into a think black band like a captains arm band and get the sunderland badge below :barscarf:

Aye, I did think of that- I also thought I could turn it into a black border for my St George's Cross- trouble is I think both options will look a bit obvious that I had a lasses name there and had to get rid :lol:

Her name is Hannah, and I know thats a surname as well, so I just keep it in the hopes that eventually SAFC will sign a "Jimmy Hannah" or something so I can pretend to be a git massive fan of his!

:lol: now thats thinking out of the box!

The nearest I got to that was I had a plan that I could kill the bitch and then get them to tattoo RIP under her name and tattoo a gravestone around it. I figured a new bird wouldnt mind me having an old birds name on me arm if she was dead, but then I thought it might be a bit of an extreme solution to my dilemma.

Are you, by any chance, a fan of the actor John Hannah?

The tattoo artist's failure to understand safcftm's accent whilst requesting a henna tattoo proved a costly error.
