Ideas needed for a Michigan tattoo
So after debating about this for a while, I've finally decided I'm taking my fanhood to the next level and getting a Michigan tattoo on my back. And no I'm not an athlete and I'm not going to be exchanging memorabilia in return for getting tatted in case you were curious. Just wondering if anyone has gotten tatted with Michigan stuff before and what you guys got..I need ideas!! and GO BLUE beat the Vols!!!

Whatever it is, make sure it somehow references MGoBlog
I'm not even going to read the rest of this thread to see who else wrote this.

Classic.

But my mother is a "tad" bit bigger and she doesn't go for the Mowhawk look.
justsaying.

I have a blue and yellow wolverine on my right calf, the same as my avatar.
March 18th, 2011 at 10:41 AM ^
I'm considering the same thing. Maybe a block M in Blue on my shoulder.
March 18th, 2011 at 11:39 AM ^
Make sure you print out a template. Go to http://www.logos.umich.edu/usemarks.html where they have the official ones. I believe the actual dimensions of our Block M are trademarked.
Personally, I'd get the University of Michigan seal, which I think is awesome. It would be more ornate, and more nuanced, and it is just a great looking design.

I don't know about what to get, but some places will give you a great deal in exchange for championship rings and the like.

on my tricep..hurt like hell but looks bad ass
March 18th, 2011 at 10:46 AM ^
If I were to get one, that is probably what I would do. Either that or maize wings on my shoulder blade with a blue scribbled background.
March 18th, 2011 at 10:45 AM ^
with the rose bowl logo in the lower left corner like we had after we won the MNC in 98

go wrong with Loyd Brady.
March 18th, 2011 at 10:59 AM ^
I agree but you can't choose one of the depressed Lloyd Brady pictures

Not being a dick (debatable), you might want to edit your post. I don't know of this color "yellow", I do know of an aMAIZEing color though.
As far as a Tat goes, can't go wrong with a "Block M" or how about Marvels Wolverine sporting "Wings" sorta like #56.
Point well taken, my bad on my use of the inappropriate color

denards million dollar smile
March 18th, 2011 at 11:29 AM ^
That would be awesome, but there's no way to accurately capture the blinding gloriousness of that smile in tattoo form.
March 18th, 2011 at 10:53 AM ^
...this old school Wolverine head logo would be cool:
March 18th, 2011 at 10:54 AM ^
A giant number 1 with your last name above it, in maize, with the rest of your back tattooed blue.
March 18th, 2011 at 10:58 AM ^
I used to work with a guy that had the Block M on the back of his calf with a Nike symbol in the middle. He was such an idot.
March 18th, 2011 at 11:05 AM ^
He was the Illinois Department of Transportation?
sorry for the douchebagery. I couldn't resist.
March 18th, 2011 at 11:13 AM ^
I couldnt help but laugh to myself at my desk when I read that.
March 18th, 2011 at 11:24 AM ^
Didn't you see the word, "Work," in his post? That immediately rules out any IDOT employee, past or present.

March 18th, 2011 at 10:59 AM ^
get it. You have proven yourself worthy of mega fan status by just considering. I'd leave it at that.
March 18th, 2011 at 11:02 AM ^
this is the creepiest thing i have ever seen
March 18th, 2011 at 11:25 AM ^
Not what I wanna see for my sensitive stomach right now.
March 18th, 2011 at 11:02 AM ^
Get the butterfly with Morris's face right above your waist. People will know you're up for some fun and you can show your allegiance at the same time!
March 18th, 2011 at 11:04 AM ^
If you are a student or alumni, get the Michigan Seal
http://simbania.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/um_seal_-_color_wowhiteboar…
I wanted to get that but I wanted it to be smaller than any artist could make it... too much detail, and I dont have the funds or the balls to get a 6 inch seal anywhere on my body.
March 18th, 2011 at 11:40 AM ^
Yes. This. It's awesome. I may get it painted on one of my guitars at some point.
Thats a finalist along with the block M
March 18th, 2011 at 11:06 AM ^
Brass Huge ballz if you got that, also make sure you get the "piss stain on Brutus shirt look"
March 18th, 2011 at 11:05 AM ^
Shave your head and tatoo it blue with yellow wings.
March 18th, 2011 at 11:08 AM ^
...What is this color "yellow" you speak of?
March 18th, 2011 at 11:12 AM ^
Freudian slip. I was trying to explain to a friend that I will be embarrassing him with an extraordinarily bright maize shirt at the game today and he responded: "What is maize?" So I dumbed it down for him and that carried over into this post. My bad.
What a dumbass. I hope he can get that changed.
Yes.
March 18th, 2011 at 11:06 AM ^
Get a triple layered "The Team".
March 18th, 2011 at 11:18 AM ^
I would ask Six Zero if he wouldnt mind coming up with something.
March 18th, 2011 at 11:13 AM ^
You should go with the classic Block M tramp stamp. That'll show daddy!
March 18th, 2011 at 11:18 AM ^
I have the block M with a wolverine sitting on top of the M with it's tail hanging down. Then I have two red roses, one at each corner at the bottom of the M.
March 18th, 2011 at 11:28 AM ^
My advice would be to keep it as simple as possible. Simple is timeless; you may regret something elaborate later on. If I were going to to it, I'd get a solid blue block M on my shoulder blade. But i guess it also depends if you already have/plan to get other tats.
March 18th, 2011 at 11:24 AM ^
and don't get one at all.
