So does anyone have any F1 related tattoos? I got my first tattoo in Austin in October... I love it!!

I don't have any Tat's, welcome to the forum

I don't have any tattoos either. But yes! Welcome to the forum!

Welcome! I've actually considered getting an F1 tattoo. Maybe in 20 years I will if I'm still keeping up with it

Never...F1 will always be a pass time, never a symbol in my life.

[Jabberwocky]

but what would you have as an F1 tat? I don't think you could have a driver picture. Lets face it everyone who had a Jimmy Saville tat are looking kinda silly now. So would you have a team tat? maybe if it is a proper F1 team... Mclaren and Ferrari might be ok, but a Redbull one might be bad.

So what are you left with, Ayrton Senna (Or any long dead driver)? F1 logo?

No tattoos. Just think, in 20 years time when it's faded and you're all saggy, it'll look even more ridiculous!

It's kind of the point. Tattoos are symbolic, you get them as a mark which symbolizes something you believe/connect to. It's not an artwork, so when you get old and saggy, the tattoo naturally 'grows old' with you. If someone's getting a tattoo as a 'beauty piece', they are sorely mistaken.

Just wait until all those trendy types with their designer tattos hit old age. Not so trendy anymore!

When I was a kid, if you had a tattoo you were either an ex con, a sailor a biker, a Polynesian guy on TV or a tattoo artist. Culturally things have changed a lot. Live and let live, there are much worse things people do to their bodies even though they're no where near as visible as a tattoo.

My F1 tattoo is a tramp stamp of Bernie's puppet head.

Like the Bagal heads

Arrgghh they looked awful. Each to their own I guess.

[What's Burning?]

What's a bagal?

Here is mine. It looks better now, I took this pic just 2 days after I got it and it was still healing. I have never been a tattoo guy, never paid attention to them or anything. But I have to say I love this tat! It was something I thought about getting for 3 years and finally got it!
