Old badge tattoo

If I did it 15 years ago I’m glad you can’t figure out how to post it. That was right at the beginning of my career!

You found a tattooist that was going to charge you by ink colour? I wish I had the brass balls for that scam.

Tom is my son-in-law, my daughter taught him to tattoo, and I taught her, so it’s like I’ve tattooed you, bruh! 😂

Tom is absolutely spot-on and I’d get tattooed from him in a heartbeat (I’ve already got a few from him).

I’ve tattooed more SAFC badges than I can remember tbh, but I’m no longer in Sunderland, but will happily tattoo any exiles around the Cambridge area. I’m proper fed up of doing Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham shit and it would make a nice change.

There’s a few things I’ll give my opinion on - The ‘Sunderland’ should be done as black writing, not negative space, or the ink around the lettering will encroach and make it unreadable in a few years (I’ve had to try and fix quite a few old badge tattoos because of this). Also, the ones that look like sewn on embroidery are very impressive, in the photo taken directly after. They rely on a lot of white ink to give the illusion of thread, and unless you’re never going to expose your tattoo to sunlight then that white ink will very quickly fade away and the effect is quite significantly less impressive.

Hope this helps. Also, I used to love doing the badges because I love SAFC. So I knew I’d be able to have a bit craic about the lads with the customer. There’s only one great tattooist in Sunderland that I can think of who supports Sunderland and that’s Pete, from Tight Lines Tattoo. Otherwise, be prepared to talk about anything other than football. 😂

Thanks to the two posters who mentioned me, btw. Much love. Xxx

Give over man, name a better looking exterior of a main stand with a badge as big as we do on our and compared to our West Stand. It looks tremendous ours man. I love both badges by the way.
