Calling all creative people...

For my 18th birthday, i'm getting a tatto of the number "18". Not just because of my birthday, but it was the number i always wore in sports. It's going on my upper arm by my shoulder and i need help designing the 18. Please, post some designs or fonts that you made or found. I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

It wont bother me because when im 70, i'll probably still be playing hockey. :D Hockey has always been a large part of my life and I want something to remember it by.

But, I've been thinking of getting a latin or greek saying that describes my playing style. Does anyone know of a website that has a list of sayings?

This is really random but do you play xboxlive???? ( captain canuck )

[CaptainCanuck]

I used to but it wasnt under Captain Canuck.

I think all these fonts look good for a tat.

Then my ADD kicked in and I made this:p :o

[ny300exrider]

do you like the graffiti style block letters? if you do i could do some random 18 sketches for you on paper when im bored if youd like

[CaptainCanuck]

thanks for the offer but i want more of a medieval/elven style of writing.

[ShiftFMX]

Just Dont do those, "Varsity" numbers, those look really tacky as tattoos!

[CaptainCanuck]

I'm sticking with that style of numbering for sure.

I hear that all the time. But I think of it as a way of remembering a certain time period in your life. For instance, I have a motorcycle chain around my arm. When I'm 70, I want people to see and say "Oh he must of rode sometime in life". Even though it may be just a bit wrinkled..lol:p

[CaptainCanuck]

I really like the way you put that. Of course im goign to want to remember it then. It is and will be my life for the next 30 years +

I tried putting it on my arm with photoshop (i suck at photshop) and i really like it. what do you guys think?

i like the number... i dunno about the god of hockey... but i have never seen u play...lol... j/m

[CaptainCanuck]

I'm really not the greatest out there but I am decent. But I'm not going to get a tattoo that says "Half Decent Player". haha. Ive been playing for 14 out of my 18 years alive and plan to play for the next 40.

[SRH]

sounds like a pretty gay tatoo, wait a few more years see if u still want it, most kids turn 18 and do it because they feel its cool...but wont admit that to themselves

[CaptainCanuck]

thanks for pointing that out...:rolleyes:

I can actually photoshop it on your arm tomorrow if you want.

[CaptainCanuck]

That would be great. Thanks a lot!

I was bored in class today and I came up with a few more instead of the "god of hockey":

Heart of Ice
Heart of Hockey

I really want it to mean that hockey is a part of me and I want people to know how passionate I am about hockey when they read it.

Anyone else have any suggestions?

[knighttime]

id maybe just get a tattoo of a hockey stick or 2 and a puck by it, or a skull with a hockey mask or something like that.

i dont really like the number idea. your only 18 one year, it isnt a big deal. believe me you will feel like a dumb-aaassszz with that 18 once you are lets say 27 and tryin to get chicks with a stupid 18 on your arm.

and i guess the wording is up to you, but unless your name is Mario or Gretzky or someone like that, you have no business with the god of hockey

i'd come up with a symbol or something

[CaptainCanuck]

I hate the idea of having a picture on my arm...I dont know why but i do. Every year since I have played hockey, I have worn the number 18. It'll remind me of my younger year when I loved playing the sport. It also represents the day of my birth (february 18) and the how old i was when i got it (18).

As for the god of hockey, i didnt like it much either. Ive decided to go with Random Hero for personal reasons.
