Joe Mauer Tattoo

[arch stanton]

If he intends to honor his bet then let him do it like a man and not like the kind of weenie who starts talking about draft position in June.

Ok @Don.  Since you look like you will be getting a permanent tattoo.  Maybe one of our tattoo experts can chime in.  Maybe get Mauer in Yellow mixed in with a very light bllue, with no black.  Because I would think that those colors would be easier to conceal after the fact. 

Red.

Most artists don't like using red or shades involving because our pigment rejects it. Most of my red has held up because he purposely went deeper and went over it again. But if he just treated it like normal tattoo work it would have just faded out by now.

Ironically, blues and yellows hold up well. I'm colorblind and some of my work includes color mixtures, but it looks like orange and green doesn't seem to hold up.

It's his shoulder, no one will see it and the ones that do will get a cool story with it and buy him a beer for going through with it.

Don, when you made your bet, did you agree to PAY for said tattoo, or just agree to get one? 

I will not be paying for it. A number of people have pledged money to the cause.

Nope. The placement is my choice according to the contract, and it will be back shoulder.

Contract?

Did you have it notarized?

So that's a big fat NO to getting a tramp stamp, right? Or is that spot already taken?

It was never notarized, but it was discussed.

It is a no, though that area is free of any blight. Just some pasty, chunky skin.

You don't want the tat and others don't want to pay for it. 

[Slegnaac]

Do you have the choice of the Tattoo artist? If so you could opt for someone like Perez, Nunez or Helm and hope for a serious waiting period. Also you would be getting a premium tattoo.

It would just his luck those guys are huge fans and make not just his shoulder but entire back a Mauer mural.

Now that would be a great story.

Just pick a picture of Mauer, that kind of looks like Trout.  That way you can say you have a man crush on Trout and not look weird.

The deal is that I have to get a re-creation of a Joe Mauer baseball card that will not exceed 5 inches top to bottom. Everyone involved agreed that I get final choice of coloring, and I get to review preliminary sketches of the work before choosing the artist.

[gotbeer]

Damn.  That was one specific bet.

[CaliAngel]

Sorry Don.

Photos please once the deed is done.

[Tank]

i hope your tattoo artist is not a former medieval painter with a hearing problem, like this guy.

I said Perez but meant Oliver Peck.  His shop is in Dallas.  Might be worth the drive.

If you get final choice in coloring then go with this. 

[Taylor]

That crayon is racist.

[Keener]

If you are traveling for it, Sol Keen at Universal Rites tattoo in Ashland, OR.

 

Ok, that was just shameless brother-promotion.  He is an incredilbly talented artist, though.

[the dude abides]

@Don Any update?

[Lhalo]

Ya WTF?

[Don]

Haven't got it yet. My stance remains the same with the others involved. Get me a prelim sketch and set up the time, and I'm there.
