The Rams crest from the shirt (puma) the year we went with van der loan captain is the business.

What was the bet?

The Ram should always face left.

The calf would be less hooligan than the bicep and more readily concealed effectively. I'd not bother having the cross of St George or anything else on the inside, just a plain Ram.

These are alright:

...but rather just have the traditional Ram symbol as it won't look dated when the next kit manufacturer insists on a change. Get the 1884 in there as it's when football was invented; you could perhaps have that to fill the space in the body of the Ram, alternatively have the League dates in scrolls underneath, with a blank one for next time...

Over your heart surely. It'll look nice in shaded black against a pale blue skin as you sport it on the beach in Benidorm.
Wearing in on your calf could cause a bit of bother if you prone to wearing shorts and you've forgotten all about it when the wife wants you to take her to John Lewis. But I suspect that's why 666 suggested it.

666 - I'm liking that first one although its a bit "heavy metal/satanitsic" for my image

Getting 1884 in their is a great idea - that will be done!

Igor suggested the same badge I looked at - I love that badge and those were happy days! The tattoo parlour were a bit worried about it though as it needs infill with white to make it work properly and white/black are quite difficult to make "super neat" - their words not mine!

I'm thinking maybe just the Ram with 1884 for now - I can always add more later...

A portrait of Gary Rowett once he leads us to the promised land maybe?

Rameses - it should be over the heart but my moobs would make it difficult for the tattoo artist!
I'm not going calf as I do wear shorts a lot and don't want to look (any more) like a football chav.
Upper arm, shoulder is the location so I can hide it under shirt sleeves when I want to.

I think you should get it as a tramp stamp on your lower back

Game changer...

666 - don't know what site you're visiting there but I cant open that link - even my phone is saying its "verbotten".

Advice. Go for the modern Rams badge. It's the filling in that hurts. Just drawing outlines is far less painful.

Puma kit 97-99 then.
That'd really sting !

Cheers Spart - I think that's what they were telling me in the studio.

Ang - that's the one with the black infill isn't it? Evil git!!

If you wanted a really painless tattoo you could have one of your hero Jordan Rhodes at a penalty shoot out.

Less is most definitely more.

Simple line Ram, no infilling or fancy business, no scrolls, no colour.

Just that. And it has to face left. And you could do jus the head if you prefer.

Personally I'd be tempted to have it over heart / on upper chest / lower shoulder for the simple reason that it's most easily covered. If you've got a t-shirt on you're sorted, or if in a thin shirt it might be behind the pocket, or failing that a jacket over the top would still cover it

Get the home shirt tattoo'd over your entire torso. Smart, shows commitment, and saves the need for a replica shirt

Cheers lads. I'm decided now. I would go chest/heart but it wouldn't look good, so its upper left arm with the simple ram facing left (which will also be forwards as you look at it).

posted on 26/6/17

Ram faced right (outwards) between 81 & 93

Be rude not to get the shorts done as well

Get the 1985 kit then; not as nice but the shorts would be less painful.

Or maybe the 87 blue suared kit or the 89 barcode kit

posted on 26/6/17

Talking if kits. I've seen a proposed design for the 3rd kit. 1st impression is I wasn't keen but it could be iconic. I can't remember how the colour was explained. But it's pink

posted on 26/6/17

If it's pink, it'll be ideal for Peeder's body tattoo (I presume)

posted on 26/6/17

Will Spart let the use of the word 'iconic' stand?

posted on 27/6/17

Or you could just run away, Peeder!

He's getting 'Bucko' across his neck in sans serif bold.
