So whats the deal ?

I'm a total tattoo virgin, but as I will most likely die within the 15-20 years at best, I thought I might get one before I shuffle off. All I want is that little Albion seagull on my upper-right arm. I don't want the "Brighton & Hove Albion FC" circle round the outer edge. All I want is the seagull, with its little YELLOW beak, and the actual seagull itself in white, with a defined outline.

But NOOOooooo. Apparently white doesn't work on slag tags. As usual, with the disappearance of Golden Grahams and Derek Griffiths, anything I like or want is not allowed. So what are my options ? I MIGHT just go for the outline, but I want a yellow beak at least. Is that too much to ask ?

You could get a negative space tattoo, so a block of colour (like a small rectangle in Albion blue) with the seagull left blank in the middle. It could have a yellow beak then too.

Don’t bother , lots of people regret getting tats for obvious reasons unless you’re a sailor .

I am no fan of tattoos but I doubt any Albion fan will ever have regrets about a small seagull tattoo…unless we get taken over by an Arab state and it seems most wouldn’t be too bothered about that either :shrug:

Good morning from Greece where I’m scouting out our future opponents.

I paid £60 as a walk in in central Brighton two years ago for this and love it.



P.S Never thought I’d put my toes on NSC but there we go.
That looks very much like the OFFICIAL club badge. I’d take that photo down quick, before Barber sees it and send you an invoice for licensing rights…
