I love it. Love the fact that something I created will be imprinted permanently on someone for all eternity. 

He's not living forever I suspect...

    Back in 2000 I was prepared to get "Every Heart Beats True" with the old 90's-2000 emblem, on my left side of my chest.

    Wife mentioned this time in my life to my oldest son and now I am getting pressure from him. "Come get a tatt with me!"

    If I was I would still put in the line "Every Heart Beats True" but with the current monogram.

    Love that people are keen to get a tattoo (many for the first time), I do recommend anyone thinking about it thoroughly research a good artist before they go ahead. Haven’t seen anything too worrying in this thread, but the difference in ability between a good tattoo artist and a bad one is like Oliver vs. a lowest division country league reserves fill in. Have seen some real shockers on Facebook.

    Correct but its also a bit of a dilemma

    Most high end artists won’t do small pieces like Premiership tattoos and/or are booked out for months.

    I was lucky that I have a good long term relationship with one of my artists (who lives close by) and he was able to do it out of his studio at home after hours.

    But yes, by all means do your research and be prepared to wait/travel/pay for a quality product. My god I’ve seen some shocking Premiership tatts on Facebook.

    While you make a fair point about the best artists, I don’t necessarily think that’s required for the smaller pieces. An average artist who can pull a straight line and knows how to shade/color is more than enough.

    With Instagram these days it shouldn’t be that hard to have a look at any artists work before you commit. I’m sure some of these people getting the shockers would spend hours researching the best option for any other decision they need to make (the best mobile phone deal, best value TV etc) but for some reason are happy to walk into any random tattoo parlor and hope for the best!

    Unfortunately I don’t live in Victoria anymore and wasn’t getting tattoos when I did. The one place I’ve heard recommended as having solid artists throughout is Chapel Tattoo. Quick look at their Instagram checks out, though I would always want to have a look at the specific artists work.

    Beetle might be a better source of info/suggestions

    Just had this done. I looked at the official design but the cup and words wasted space. By just going with the emblem I could make it bigger to show the logo better. Top tip from my artist was to do all the lines in black for crisp definition then colour in.

    My daughter is a tattooist.  Ironically,  I am anti tattoo - don't have any,  but I do know she is a very talented artist and someone you would trust with your life. Works for a high profile tattoo parlour in Vic. If you are serious,  DM me and I'll pass on details.

    Isn't that how all tattoos are done?

    Nope, some use lighter lines so the6 are not so defined, some don’t use lines at all for more realistic pieces.

    No. It’s not.

    Well it use to be, I got my first tattoos 55 years ago when I was 16, and then a couple more at the age of 18 and that is how they were done then by the tattooists who at that time were amongst the best going around, Danny Robinson and his wife Bev who at that time was Australia's tattooed lady. They were based in Williamstown.

    Can highly recommend Chapel Tattoo. Great people and give great advice and ideas.

    Only thing I'd say though, while all the artists there are usually great, their styles are all very very different. I would have a look through their artists' instas and see what style you think suits your idea. Chat to them and email through your ideas and they'll point you in the right direction of who will suit.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
