I've got the shield as a tattoo Shiny, take your time and make very sure that you definitely want it. Also be sure to find a very good guy to do it, bit disappointed with mine, there are a few guys on here who have them and I've seen some good ones.
Shiny think about it carefully, I have tattoos done 20 years ago and believe me they go out of fashion, mine look horrendous compared to the ones nowadays, so in another 20 years the ones that look great now will look naff. I had a City one done with a bulldog, thought it was great when I had it done in Swansea of all places but it looked awful so I had it covered up this year. Just remember they are for life! Or do what the misses says, she wants Always Believe tattooed on her but she wants where it will only be seen by special people.
mines on the back, from one shoulder to the other, im not to bothered about the font, but wondering whether to have the badge in colour, everyone i know who's had it done in colour, it looks terrible 1-2 years down the line.
If you mean the white part of the shield, yes my mate had that coloured in white ink and it does indeed look awful now!
