twinny Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Am looking to get the new badge on my chest but wheres best to go for it ? I got a tattoo in Bodyline going back about 7 years and the guy that did it was a muppet who it turned out had faked his portfolio and used equipment he didn't have the skill to use, so I'd give that place a miss. In fairness, I returned a year later for a touch up (I know it's meant to be soon after but that's a different story) and they had sacked the guy and appeared much more professional with new management.

OorWull Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Am looking to get the new badge on my chest but wheres best to go for it ? I have used Infamous Ink in Stirling for several years, as the guy who owns it Dave is a top class tattoo artist. I have several "Thistle" tattoos (including my Avatar of Oor Wullie with a Jags Scarf on ) Realise it might be a bit out of the way for you, but he is well worth the effort. P.S. He passes the ultimate test of would you let him tattoo your child? I've paid for him to do tattoos for both my daughters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Worthwhile having a look around this site for a few hours before you go so as to avoid the "pitfalls". There's always the obvious mistakes, but beware of photo-shopped pictures on the web... Eeverton? A collection of poor decisions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always the obvious mistakes, but beware of photo-shopped pictures on the web... Eeverton? A collection of poor decisions Some years ago a regular Jags fan who I knew as Graham .....Name withheld to protect his identity began to be known as Paddy. I asked why the nickname and was told to look at his Jags tattoo which he had done in a drunken moment. There it was a great tattoo of the crest with the name of PATRICK THISTLE under it. So please be careful out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionel J. Botch Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I got my tatto in Archangel on Maryhill Road, just over from Taggarts. He is pretty good. Pop in and have a chat. Better to get a place where a booking is required rather than a production line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to get a place where a booking is required rather than a production line. I'd recommend Archangel too. I'm sure if you go on their website or facebook page there's a thistle tat there. http://www.archangeltattoosglasgow.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryza Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Sorry to drag this old topic up. I'm booked in for Tuesday but undecided on whether to get the hairy gonad, stealth bomber or go back to the 80's style when I started following the Jags, think Morton rolls/Watson Towers kit. Suggestions welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamiltonjag Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Got a crossed flags tatt on my left arm Saltire with a red yella and black Belgian-type flag. Love it. I refuse to get inked with a badge that can be changed on a whim by some marketing numpty. Though.....when was the last time we played in red yellow and black??

jagscast Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I've got ERSKINE FOR SCOTLAND on my forehead. Recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryza Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Ok front runner is stealth bomber with red/yellow behind it. Think the 80's one might look to dated. Will leave off the current one for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 As I wrote before in another thread (I think), best Jags tattoo I've seen is of a player in the old R&Y hoops. Noticed it on a fan's forearm at a match few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpool Jags Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 If in doubt which Thistle emblem to have tattooed - eg stealth bomber, herry baw etc - simply use a dabbity that can be changed on a frequent basis without the need for painful and expensive laser surgery. Where from? Nae idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Wragg Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Ok front runner is stealth bomber with red/yellow behind it. Think the 80's one might look to dated. Will leave off the current one for now The 80's badge is timeless in my opinion. Far better than the stealth bomber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Ok front runner is stealth bomber with red/yellow behind it. Think the 80's one might look to dated. Surely no matter what you choose it's going to look dated at some point in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed it on a fan's forearm at a match few years back. I don't have the forearms for it though maybe in the Erskine mould rather than the Honey Monster. The 80's badge is timeless in my opinion. Far better than the stealth bomber. See your point, more nostalgic, unique and sentimental. Surely no matter what you choose it's going to look dated at some point in the future? Very true.

Members Willjag Posted October 12, 2012 Members Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 How about a simple PTFC in fancy lettering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Sorry for my ignorance, but what's the 1980s emblem if it isn't the much older thistle going back to nineteen canteen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
