Ok, so looks like this is going to be my next tattoo...but I have a question

Posted by Jim (aka Jim) Sep 16 '13, 11:23

I'm taking out the word Alumni. Should I just leave that space blank, or replace it with something?

I'm thinking of replacing it with something like

7.30.80.84.87 (Only not with periods, but little bullet points in between the numbers.)

Thoughts?

Naw, *this* should be your next tattoo -- (link) - prayformojo Sep 16, 11:35
I also do not much care for the horse in the orange section. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 16, 11:29 9
- Come on groiny, Jim likes the ass. -- nm - Spawn Sep 16, 11:31
- Yeah, it's funky, but it's the old school helmet we had until the late 60s when the D logo came into play. -- nm - Jim Sep 16, 11:30 7
  - my concern there is that it will not show up clean. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 16, 11:33 6
    - Well...I'm going to someone different that the person that did my others. He's a friend's guy... - Jim Sep 16, 11:42 5
      - maybe if it were not white, I am concerned it will just look like a white blob. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 16, 11:43 4
        
        What would you think if he did a thin black outline? -- nm - Jim Sep 16, 11:44 3
        
        that would be better. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 16, 11:46 2
        
        or blue? -- nm - groiny Sep 16, 11:48
        
        Or probably, the dark blue...since there's no other black in the entire thing. - Jim Sep 16, 11:48
numbers cool -- nm - budice Sep 16, 11:26
I do not care for the numbers. - groiny Sep 16, 11:26 12
- yeah, I'm sure that people with tattoos of Bonds, OJ, Lance are having some regrets these days. -- nm - zork Sep 16, 11:34 1
  - plus, you will forever be answering that question. - groiny Sep 16, 11:35
- I don't know tattoos, but it seems like it would be hard to make them legible. - loosilu Sep 16, 11:27 8
  - Unless I'm wrong, you can't have white ink. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 16, 11:28 7
    - I know. The artist would have to draw the outlines of the numbers and leave them plain. - loosilu Sep 16, 11:31 1
      - Nah...they'd do the white. That's no big deal. But they'll also give me the "we can't guarantee the white won't fade" speech. -- nm - Jim Sep 16, 11:43
    - You can have white...but it fades REAL fast. Has to be touched up often, if you want to keep it. -- nm - Jim Sep 16, 11:29 4
      - here, if you can see it.... - groiny Sep 16, 11:31
      - I have some white in my tiger tattoo, and have never had it touched up. - groiny Sep 16, 11:29 2
        
        I think they're so faint most don't use it. - JaxSean Sep 16, 11:32
        
        The white on my tiger tattoo is still there as well, but it's really faint. nm - Jim Sep 16, 11:31
- agreed -- nm - Don Homer Sep 16, 11:26
I'm guessing those are players numbers (Elway, etc.). I say no numbers. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 16, 11:26
what do the numbers mean? -- nm - loosilu Sep 16, 11:24 12
- Alternate Numbers for LOST -- nm - amoxy Sep 16, 11:27
- Elway, Davis, Smith, Sharpe, McCaffrey - players from the 2 Super Bowl teams. -- nm - Jim Sep 16, 11:25 10
  - lol. I was assuming it was birthdays/anniversary/kids birth years -- nm - oblique Sep 16, 11:25 9

      - heh -- nm - Don Homer Sep 16, 11:26 7
        
        Jim's already got his kids on his arm. Had it for about 13 years now. -- nm - Jim Sep 16, 11:27 6
        
        pic?? -- nm - Don Homer Sep 16, 11:28 3
        
        just took one. -- (link) - Jim Sep 16, 11:39 2
        
        cool, thank you. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 16, 11:49

        Dude! - Jim Sep 16, 11:28
