Sport Tattoos - For the Die Hard Fans
Articles By Russell Reugh

There are lots of sports enthusiasts out there who go gaga over the team they support. For people who don't and can't understand that devotion or passion for something, this article would sound like a joke. But for all the die-hard fans out there, having a tattoo of one's favorite or supported team is their pride and joy. How many people would do such a thing? Fans would collect lots of memorabilia like mugs, baseball caps, t-shirts, jerseys, jackets, even pins and key chains, but only a true blue fan would ink his/her body with the team's insignia. Are you one of these people?

Sports tattoos are another outlet for people to become creative yet again, with choosing their tattoo designs and on how they give meaning to that particular tattoo. Like all tattoos, sports tattoos have different styles and forms as well. The tattoo designs could either just be symbolic of the sport or it could be something a bit more literal. For football fans, they might opt to place a football on their body as a symbol of their love for the sport. Others however, take it to another level. They put the team's mascot together with the team on their design. Imagine if you were an Orlando Magic's fan, then you have a tattoo of the team's official seal. Talk about being a fan.

It is fun to watch and show support for your favorite team, right? It is nice when they score and you're there to scream and cheer for their victory. The players really appreciate a big thing. Seeing their fans cheer for them. It is a big thing. They get all hyped up and even do better to please you. So what do you do? You use your voice to make them aware that what they do is important. They don't only play for the sake of scoring, but they play for your entertainment. The least you could do is offer your support.

Sports tattoos are appropriate for every age, although children are most often not encouraged to have tattoos, many older people are getting hooked on getting their bodies permanently inked with their favorite sports or supported team it is not anymore a question of age, just as long as it is something you want or it's something that you are passionate about.

There are sports fans who want subtlety, that's why they opt to have smaller versions of their tattoos, while others want to show it off for the world to see. There are those who place their tattoos on their arms for easy visualization while there are those who place it somewhere hidden. Sort of like a silent praise and devotion to their supported team.

Although a tattoo isn't what fans normally get to show their support and devotion, nowadays, it is not such a taboo. More and more people are getting a tattoo design which symbolizes their passions in life. It is something that will constantly remind them of the thrill and the excitement they get when they watch their favorite team play.
