Getting a taipans tattoo

Big cairns fan and im looking to get a large tattoo of the taipans either on my neck or upper arm.

Any ideas what I should get?

Club logo? Team name? Other? I just want to be certain once i get the tattoo as I have it for life haha.

If I get neck I will go with club logo, upper arm maybe something more fancy, perhaps grabau tribute also?

A chastity belt?

Since you won't be getting much anymore after you get it.

Whats a chastity belt?

I love the team and want to rep them! I think side of neck is best place to get it.

Im thinking a large size club logo and add another one when we win a championship one day.

My parents dont want me to get it but my mates think its a wise move...

@thechamp33. If i get darnell mee, i should get other club legends also, not just 1 player.

Maybe just get surnames like mee, jawai, wilson, grabau, brebner, loughton. forget the past players right now...

I thought school holidays were over? Seriously toes, take a decade to think it over. By then you should know who your mates really are, because right now they sound as immature and misguided as you do...

Getting such a tattoo, especially a big, highly conspicuous one on your neck is a fantastic move. Seriously. Call it an investment because we are bringing it home this time baby! Make sure you do it before round one, before preseason preferably. To legitimise it all.

Do a list on your back of every player to play, add each new player every year.

If you don't know what a chastity belt is, you are too young or too naive to consider the bigger implications of a tattoo....

Get the logo on your neck and shave your eye brows and get Cairns on one side and Taipans on the other - that would be gangsta brova

I'd suggest at the same time a matching colour capital "L" on your forehead would complement it nicely

why all the negativity? I am 20yo and old enough to do what i want. Tattoos make no difference to job opportunities amd could even help given my passion for a community organisation.

I got quoted $840 for a club logo tattoo around 20cm square. is that a good price?

Get steindls name and number across your entire back. Like a jersey. When he retires he will be the best Taipan of them all - assuming he doesn't bolt for the NBA after a season or two.

Don't worry about it toe. You're dealing with a bunch of grandpa's on this forum bro. Although getting it on your neck isn't the best idea you won't ruin all future job opportunities, it's 2013 not 1973. I would suggest taking the logo into an artist and getting them to throw some ideas around.

toes - make up your own mind but think it through. The job opportunities point is valid in some areas of work. If you hold hopes of going into professional services where you have to present to clients, ink is better in non visible places. A (young) colleague here at work had to get a skin-coloured elastic sleeve to cover his ink. He's an IT person with no client-facing role but has to manage assets on our client floor. A neck tattoo that couldn't have been concealed would have lost him the job opportunity.

If you're mates are saying go for it, I would assume they already have large, visible tattoos and so know what they're talking about. If not, then think twice about whether their opinions should carry weight in your decision.

I don't have and wouldn't get a tattoo, so I won't give you my opinion on your choice. In a job interview, I would certainly wonder about the judgement of someone with a large tattoo like you're describing and it could be a differentiator if I had two otherwise equal candidates to choose between. In saying this, wearing an earring didn't prevent me getting a well paid job in a professional firm, 20 years ago (but I also wasn't starting on my career path, by a long shot).

Just make sure the Taipans are never going to change their name! After all, a bunch of clubs have previously: Sydney (Supersonics/Kings), Hawks (Wollongong/Illawarra), Townsville (Suns/Crocs), Gold Coast (Rollers/Blaze), etc.

Just make sure you get your grafetti on your voice box so you have full exposure rather than the left or right side and remember to send us a link once it is done so we can all see how pimp it looks.

Troll; however:

Yes I am always hiring staff with Neck tattoo's. Its a good easily recognisable sign of their overall good judgement and sense of responsibility.

Do it I say - you'll never regret it.

So what is the story behind this Schmidt bloke? There seems to be a lot of animosity between he and the users on this forum; what has he done in the past?

along with a note from strangers on an internet forum you may also require a note from your Mummy to get a tough sticker.

Definitely do it. To commemorate the year you got it you could always add a small logo of each team they beat this year underneathe the main tattoo (if you can afford it, might start getting expensive)? Maybe even have the Taipan tattoo with an open mouth and he could be eating the logo's of the teams they beat?

To keep the cost down though I'd suggest looking for a less reputable tattoo artist as they charge a lot less. Even better (and cheaper) would be to get someone who is an aspiring tatooist as they might do it for free?

Make sure you post pics when you get it done. Good luck.

Why not get a bit rebus-y and get two tatts, next to each other: one of a tie, the other of a pan.

Don't forgot to add your postcode to the tattoo...

Any good tattoo these days must have your postcode.

Gotta represent!!!

Also, don't forget the "souvern cross" and "Such Is Life" tattoos, they are a must-have if you wanna be original and core. Maybe a Ned Kelly face too.

You should get Rob Rose, Grant Kruger, Larry Abney, Dwayne Vale, Ben Knight, Brad Davidson, and Jeff Dowdell's faces tattoo'd around the circumference of your neck like a collar.
