Would you get a tattoo of your team if you were a DIE HARD fan?

[darthska]

Logos change.

So do colors of teams.

And teams move.

So no.

The only tattoos that I would consider if I were a fan of these teams would be the Yankees, Reds, or Celtics. Maybe Red Wings.

Yankees are obviously going nowhere, and their 'NY' stands for more than just the Yankees, so if I were from there and a fan of the team, yeah, I would consider it.

Now take that same sentence and substitute 'Reds' for 'Yankees', and 'C' for 'NY'.

Celtics aren't going anywhere, and they've had the same logo and colors all this time, but what to get? That damn leprechaun?

Red Wings logo might be alright, but also makes people think if the boots. :/

Yankees 'NY' and Reds 'C'? Acceptable, at least in my opinion.

Saw FIRST B0RN post and that reminded me of the StL logo, which I personally think is also acceptable. Again, the Cardinals are going anywhere, that logo has been used for decades, and for me, when I see you, I don't just think of the team; I also assume that person is from that city.

Someone on Opening Night got a Timberwolves logo tattoo for a Klondike bar

Wish I could find pictures of it.

I don't see a reason for having a tattoo of a team unless you went to the school or you actually played for them.

The issue isn't really whether you should get the tattoo, it's whether it's healthy to support a sports team to the point that you would consider permanently engraving their logo into your body.

But the fact that you are seriously considering this probably means that you are so emotionally invested in the team that you'd be a different person if you stopped being such a die-hard fan. Duke's basketball team is a part of your psyche.

So really, you might as well get the tattoo and just embrace who you are fully, because it seems that you're so deep into supporting the team that any rational conversation about the possible detrimental effects of supporting a sports team/corporation to this extent will likely be lost on you.
And IMO people getting the NY logo tat is way different. Most are doing it to represent the city more than they are doing it to represent the ballclub. Maybe I'm wrong about that but it always seemed to me to be more about repping where you grew up.

Persia getting all rational in here! Yeah kinda like the Pittsburgh 'P', not just for a team and won't change. But again the only one I'd ever consider is the Miami 'M'

I'd get the State "S" somewhere (Only because I'm also a student). It couldn't be anywhere obnoxious like that NE tat, though.
