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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
