Thinking of getting a new Sunderland tattoo, already have a black cat with SAFC under it on my right arm. Any ideas what I could get? Safc93
I have a full sleeve from wrist to shoulder,in it i have ship safc badge,new safc badge,Wear bridge,penshaw monument,davy lamp,ship building scene,coal miner,black cat,vaux brewery logo,mainly black and white shading with shades of red in it. Oh and Roker park written round my wrist,well Roker Park 1898-1997 to be exact.Not basic its quality work cost thousands.A thread is on the ready to go site somewhere with pictures.
Get something to do with the club or city history you cant go wrong.
Sounds cool but I'm unemployed and live in a small village so not much money or history in the village. I was thinking of consectatio excellentiae across my back at the top but im open to suggestions. Safc93
I'd really like to see that full sleeve, because I'm a tattoo artist Nd to be honest that sounds absolutely horrible !
My mate has a class tattoo of a cat with a sunderland top on hitting a magpie with a newcastle top on with a baseball bat
Its defo not horrible m8 lol.Its not random or anything it all goes together.A black and grey industry scene,coal miner welder ship builder etc with the wear bridge in the background its in 3d. The logo for Vaux has a bit of red in it but not over powering. I Missed out the red arrows i have flying up my back of the arm from the elbow up they are the only colour in the tattoo really and set off the black and white/grey tattoo especially with blue red white trailing behind the planes.Black cat with Roker Roar wrote around it and Roker park 1898-1997 wrote around my wrist.Davy lamp glows looks realistic.
I searched for the best to do the tattoo,Its obviously too detailed for you too attempt MEOW.
Away days fans of all clubs love it and i love it and thats all that matters.
The tattoo began with a tattooist in Texas thats where i started it and ended in London.
You have not got much money fair enough but remember it stays with you for life so dont go cheap on it,save up or wait until you are back in employment and treat yourself with your first wage mate.
Your village may not have history but i was meaning,your history ie why you support sunderland,the clubs history etc.
I dont live in the northeast and apart from visiting never have,but my dad and mum are from sunderland and my dad worked on the shipyards and grandad down the pit,they both used to take me to roker park and got me into safc.Thats why i incorporated sunderlands proud industrial history and safc in my tattoo.I used to be in the RAF just left last year after 12 years service,sunderland airshow as a kid made me want to do that. So its all in my tattoo.
Sunderland City has used Nil desperandum Auspice Deo ("When God is on our side there is no cause for despair." or "Do not despair, have faith in God" or "Don’t despair, in God we trust") as a motto since 1849 thats another option to go with The safc motto 'Consectatio Excellentiae' means in pursuit of excellence as you say.
