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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
