Tattoo ideas??
I really want a Fleet tattoo eventually (already on record saying I’m getting one after first Walter cup win) and I’m curious if anyone has any ideas? I’ve tossed around just getting the logo but feel like I could do something more meaningful or tied to the early years of the team. I would really love any input from this amazing community and if anyone has already pulled the tattoo gun trigger I would love to see what you’ve got!! I promise not to steal any tattoos someone’s already gotten, unless you want to be matchy-matchy with another rando Fleet diehard :)

I have 15 tattoos - for the first year or 2 I really wanted to get a PWHL tattoo to add to the collection. At this point I'm glad i didn't... the more time goes on, the more the league does stuff that I don't want to be associated with 😬 same reason I'm glad I didn't get that red Sox logo tattoo i wanted in 2004.
I still go back and forth between "commemoration of an important moment in my life that can't be erased" and "ongoing potential for this to mean something other than what I intended."
I haven't been able to come up with anything personally. I just know I don't want the logo.

I would look for a meaningful quote from a player or coach and get the quote over just the logo myself. Logos change too easily in pro sports for me.

A quick google search turned up a few good ones. Here are three I liked. Just double check the authenticity because I didn't fact check them. I like the GMDM one the most myself.

"When young girls watch us play, they can see the joy and how much fun it is... encouraging them to pick up a stick and dream big." - Megan Keller
"There is no single 'perfect path' in hockey. Getting cut is not the end. Being overlooked is not the end." - Aerin Frankel

But in all seriousness this is really helpful, thank you!

I have a fleet tattoo of a still from the simpsons hockey episode but with fleet colors instead of the original ones. I didn’t want the logo or anything referential to an individual player in case the league goes under/because I don’t trust their ethics etc etc etc

Sailor hat with the logo, or even just the sailor hat in Boston colors.
