i was having a conversation about this a few weeks ago at the Capitol Clash when people were mistaken that my temp tattoo was real. I was wondering if anyone had done this and i guess i now have my answer.

just a question..did you get approval from FIRST for the modifications to the logo as stated in their logo standards

[Francis-134]

Wow. You are certianly braver than me. Looks pretty good too.

[Ryan Albright]

Yes i have one tattoo, and i am ready for a second and i was seriously considering this. I like how you put some kind of design for it. I really like it

[Ryan M.]

Wow! That's real? *jaw drops*

A Real FIRST Tattoo- Now there’s something different.


As for the proper "logo usage" approval- I think that it’s too late for that.

Obviously its on your waist line but is it on the back? Center of the back?

[Stephen Kowski]

sweet....i was thinkin of gettin one on my inner forearm....did you draw it yourself?

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

Is logo use a problem if it's not for advertising or competition purposes? I doubt she'll be running around using it to advertise.

ya its on her lower back centered...

was a fun experince being there seeing her clench in pain when they went over her spine =P...

it looks great in person too... the only thing that was bad on the tatto was the white was not done heavy enough so it still looks skinish color instead of white which i think she plans on getting fixed... she also wantd to get the black filled in...

so 2 opinons...

1. should she get the outlined tribal filled in black...

2. should she extend the tribal up + down...

[mechanicalbrain]

Filled in absolutely! I'm not sure if a large tribal would necessarily look good though. If it gets too big the FIRST logo no longer becomes the center of attention.

Woo hoo i will be 19 next week, and that just may be what i do for my birthday.

I'm considering getting a large tribal/Celtic design on my left shoulder next year but I'm wondering what effects body weight has on tattoos.

[Barry Bonzack]

I think we have crossed a very special line of FIRST obsession.


If anyone gets "I am JVN" tattooed anywhere on their body, I will be quite frightened.

[Ashley_05]

Wow. Let me first start off by saying thank you to all who have approved of my ink. Yes, as Heretic said its in my lower back. And no, I did not get the approval of FIRST before I had this done. But in my defense, I got this tattoo for me, not for the whole world to see and certainly not to promote FIRST in anyway.

To answer some of the underlying questions. Yes, I drew the design myself with the exception of the FIRST Logo. And I do plan on having the white touched up, along with filling in the Tribal. In reference to the pain: The outline was probably the most difficult part. It happens right away and it was thin lines. Filling in the color wasn't too bad until it got near the spine... and yea, it hurt just a little bit, but the way I see it, the pain was well worth it.

Tattooing a great way to express yourself and get a design that is truly meaningful to you. I contemplated this design for a while and probably drew for a good 8 months before I found my final design. Being that I'm only 18 and still currently living in my parents house, I let them know that I was doing this before I actually had it done. To my surprise my father actually wanted to come with me and watch me get it done. :: Great bonding experience ::
