- - A Little Extreme? A FIRST Tattoo? (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20509)

If you get a tattoo, make sure to also get contacts, one shaped like a triangle in one eye, and a square in the other. That would be creepy at first, but ultimately awesome.

Okay, to start, I think tattoos are cool. I personally can't get one because of a long LONG discussion with the family;however, if it's cool with your parents, I think you should get one. Just keep in mind that you will have to explain what the tattoo means, and I don't know if that will affect you're decision. Some "cool" people out there might think that robotics is "uncool." But then again, who cares what they think? I also think it'll be a good way to "bond" FIRST people. You could be walking along and someone who was in FIRST could be like, hey, I was in FIRST too. Voila! Instant conversation piece! All in all, I think it's a good idea, but I personally would put it somewhere that can be covered by clothing. Let us all know what your final decision is!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH, Support, lol.
I'm glad I'm not hearing "Talon, you're an idiot!!!"

Yeah, I have been thinking long, and hard about this. I used to have a whole tattoo scheme layed out for my whole body, but u have to be a little modest. So I thought what better than a FIRST tattoo. I want to do something with sharks too, not only due to the team affiliation, but because of my admiration for them throughout life. And yes, I am thinking about the classic triangle circle square thingy, but I want my own touch. And I also have thought of having Dean's face, but no, thats too nutz, I have seen a guy with weird al yankovics face on his calf, hes like his biggest fan, but I wont go that far. Also Dean's signature is like a prized possesion in FIRST, so I was thinking of that too.
And in reply to the barcode, seems like thats not an original idea, I thought my iea for it was, but others share it. I also work in a supermarket, and when they ask me for my savings card, I could ask them to scan my back, lol. Ok, enought rambling, time to start designing.

wow. hey, well, you aren't exactly "weird". i just think you're a little more fanatic lol. but really, in my opinion, as much spirit as you have to even THINK about a FIRST tattoo, i wouldn't do it. 1. pain, 2. could get infected, 3. if you get older would you want it removed or would you want it to stay and be all wrinkly? i'm just offering advice. i say, it's a great idea, but if you don't like pain, don't do it. try to show off FIRST some other way. try to get yourself into some media thing. and if you're just walking around, wear a t-shirt or hat, or just maybe a big sign above your head showing FIRST. soon enough, people will start asking, and you can start promoting. keep many different ideas that stay away from the idea of hurting, piercing, or tattooing yourself. it will probably do you good in the future. these are just some friendly words from another FIRST member. keep up the great team spirit and emotion, and have a great year!!!

If it makes you happy. Do it.

:D

can you get a temporary tattoo, see what people comment about it, then decide? If you cant do that what about drawing it in pen?

Just see what people think!
