Got my first tattoo today and couldn't think of anything that'd be more appropriate.

I flinched a little... beginners nerves, I guess. :D

I commend you for your loyalty, I've got friends with sports tats... Let's just say say it's not working out so well for them.

A number of years ago...

... the Cubs affiliate in the Florida State League, the Daytona Cubs, would give you a lifetime pass to their games if you had their logo tattooed on your body.

Don't know if this is still being done, but here's a Baseball America story from 2001 on the topic.

Very Nice

If I thought I could ever tolerate a needle poking me that many times in one sitting, I would likely get the word Chicago in blue like on the gray jerseys. Or maybe a strand of ivy.
