Yeah I don't get it.

It's an interesting look. If the Mets offered t-shirts with that logo, I think it would sell fairly well.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nick Maggio likes his logo with the classick blue skyline over the black.



Scott Breslove from Belleville like baserunning Mister over the batting or pitching version.



Gotta agree with both, at least to the point where they strap me in the chair.

Josh Steinberg, out on the town before his tatt has healed, goes for the outlined blue insignia. Ugh.



Steve from Newburgh goes for orange with a slight blue border to contain it, somehow bursting through a crack. An American crack.



Jim C from Bay Ridge doesn't color in his Mister.



Jim C. also annoys Vic Sage by loving the '55 Dodgers on his other arm.



Deltoid or butt cheek?



Freak sleeve:




All this and more from Brooklyn Met fan.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Was that taken in the mirror? Or was the tattooist the same guy who was the fictional Obama supporter who attacked the girl with the McCain bumper sticker?

[Benjamin Grimm]

I would never get a tattoo, but if I were to get a Mets related tattoo, I like this one the best. (I'd make it smaller, though.) Understated is better.



This one is too over the top:



And this one is a little too precious:

Hopefully that's on a female fan.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I hate when they attack girls with bumper stickers.

The light in the photo tells me a mirror was used.

[Benjamin Grimm]

If I wanted to take a photo of the back of my shoulder, I'd hold the camera behind me and click. I wouldn't stand with my back to a mirror and then take a picture, over my shoulder, of the mirror.

But diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks, I guess.

There was a time in my twenties that I wanted to get a tattoo , never did and am sure glad I didn't.

]Jim C. also annoys Vic Sage by loving the '55 Dodgers on his other arm. ritual scarring annoys me on principle, but why do you think this would annoy me in particular?

Edgy DC Nov 17 2008 09:49 AM

Because you advocated in another thread treating the Dodgers not as Met forebears but as Met enemies. Didn't you?

This is like, why we deserve a punishing recession.

]Because you advocated in another thread treating the Dodgers not as Met forebears but as Met enemies. Didn't you? No, i rejected your assertion that anyone offended by the Jackie Robinson Rotunda, with its "42" tribute, was making a real "logical stretch". While i have no feelings about it one way or the other, I offered as an example, not myself but my parents and other Mets fans of their generation who were abandoned by the Dodgers and would, therefore, not necessarily enjoy having their new stadium built as a tribute to their long-hated Dodgers , and that these feelings were not at all illogical. At which point you accused my of arguing for sport, so i stopped participating in that thread. There is no doubt as to the role of the Dodgers as progenitors of the Mets. Anyone who wants to use their body as a billboard for such an assertion runs no risk of rebuke from me... at least not on those grounds.

Edgy DC Nov 17 2008 10:24 AM

You think the above is a valid argument, though not yours. Got it. But what I called illogical wasn't so broad, but rather "to link Robinson's legacy an adversarial relationship to the Mets."

Some days, da Mets are destined for da feet: Some days, the Mets play like Pooh: Tattoo ideal girl on body, get ideal girl. A formula for success? Unmanliest tattoo ever seen at Shea: Speaking of dolphins, homeboy seems to have inked his Mets shinguard in Dolphin colors:
