I won a tatoo!?!

McSmokey · 10-07-2010, 11:01 AM

OK background: I have had this idea brewing for awhile of getting a tattoo of a cigar, double banded with the second band having my sons initials and birthday on it.

Unbeknownst to me my wife enters me into a contest where the most creative tattoo idea gets it done for free. Well apparently somebody thought it was pretty darn cool cause I won.

My question is what marca and vitola should I use.

pektel · 10-07-2010, 11:02 AM

Opus X would look sweet. That's probably my favorite cigar band.

JDTexan · 10-07-2010, 11:04 AM

What is your favorite marca?

And where is this (ahem) cigar going?

hscmit · 10-07-2010, 11:07 AM

Sweet I agree with the opus x, but maybe something that you love/ is special to you,

let us see it when it's done

My favorite NC is Opus X (Ironically the celebration smokes that night were the Lost City)

My facorite CC is Cohiba.

Tat is going on the arm or shoulder blade.

Get a figurado! lol

JDTexan · 10-07-2010, 11:52 AM

A Cohiba EL style would be pretty damn slick or Behike.

This could look pretty cool down the back or your upper or lower arm. Get it big, and in a non-standard spot.

HK3- · 10-07-2010, 12:32 PM

Hmmmm... I was first thinking LGC since that's what's under your avatar.

I think any EL would be cool and having the limitada band have your sons birth year.

Patrick B · 10-07-2010, 12:39 PM

If the artist is good with black and gray a lit cigar with a nice smoke trail could look pretty slick. I'm really digging this idea and hope it comes to fruition!

10-07-2010, 12:55 PM

Personally, I wouldn't want to put an actual brand on myself. I'd probably use my family coat of arms for the main band, or something of that nature.

Don't get a Gurkha. Tom already has one and that would be rude to be a copycat.

Dave128 · 10-07-2010, 01:02 PM

Congrats on the win. Sounds like a nice way to honor your son.

kelmac07 · 10-07-2010, 01:06 PM

Congrats Justin!!

pektel · 10-07-2010, 01:07 PM

I think my next tat is going on my inner forearm. Dunno if a cigar would look cool there though.

I have thought about LGC and it is still on the table, I keep that as my marca because LGC's are my goto smoke they have never failed me.

The smoke trail is something I hadn't thought of, but I like the idea... I am going to sit down with the guy doing it next week to discuss design. I want to stick to Blacks and Grays if he thinks he can make the detail pop otherwise it'll have to have color. The guy doing mine actually did my wifes tat when he was first getting started at another shop (He owns this shop I'm getting done at). He was great then, can't wait to see how he does mine.
