Posted by kansaspatzer ability-tw.com 4/04/2008 23:27:21 play online chess	Subject: Chess tattoos Message: I have a tattoo of a knight on my arm - the picture is in my profile. I was wondering if anybody else had any or knew anybody who has any. I haven't come across anyone else but surely I'm not the only one. I know somebody who got a certain poker hand (Jack-Ten) tattooed on his arm. I feel that mine is less "tacky", although people approach mine with mixed results.

Message: Dan, I have never seen or heard anyone actually having a Chess tattoo before, during my whole 35+ years around the tournament crowd. But now that you bring it up, I am a bit surprised to realize that. Perhaps it just doesn't come up during conversation, if not visibly displayed or noticeable. *** Seems like an interesting idea & your Knight looks good ... maybe more players will go in for it if they see yours. Doesn't seem tacky at all to me. Personally, I see it as expressive Art, like the game itself. Are you thinking of adding to the "set" ? }8-)
Posted by ionadowman ability-tw.com 4/06/2008 13:22:24 play online chess	Let's see... Message: Knights on the upper arm ... right hand side black knight, so obviously the queen's knight. Another on the other arm is the king's knight. Place bishops on the shoulders, king on the left cheek, queen on the right, rooks on each forearm, a row of 8 pawns across the chest - and you'll always be ready for a game! I hope i haven't sarted anything... ;-) Ion
Posted by kansaspatzer ability-tw.com 4/10/2008 22:35:38 play online chess	Message: Thanks all. I don't think I'm getting any more chess tattoos - I'm studying to be a teacher and that is a profession that frowns on visible tattoos. I do want my next tattoo to probably deal with a Christian-related theme. I do think that more players should get a chess tattoo. At the very least, it makes for an interesting conversation piece

Posted by ogedei ability-tw.com 4/12/2008 11:46:01 play online chess	Message: I've always liked the idea of tattoos on the palms of your hands. I've recently considered getting the "with compensation" or even "white is slightly better" symbols done on my palms.
Posted by chessnovice ability-tw.com 4/12/2008 13:07:02 play online chess	... Message: To answer the question, I don't think I could get a chess tattoo. I like the game, but not to that degree. The only kind of tattoo I've considered getting is something along the lines that Tyler Florence (from Food Network) got. He says his favorite is this tattooed script that he got from a Buddhist monk. It sounds cool. But then I figured that the ink probably has some kind of metal in it. If I ever have to undergo an MRI, I'd rather it be as painless as possible.

Posted by wschmidt ability-tw.com 4/13/2008 16:42:17 play online chess	My stepson is a tattoo artist Message: at Denver's oldest tattoo shop. After reading this thread I asked him if he'd ever run across a chess related tattoo. He said no, but agreed that it was kind of surprising since chess piece iconograph is pretty interesting. * That was a few days ago. He came home from work yesterday and said someone had come in and asked for a large pawn on his back. Interesting timing and interesting choice of images. * And actually, this thread has got me thinking.....
