Icon3 Permanent Rolex Or Tudor Tattoo

I’ve seen sports fans put team logos on their body and Nascar fans with the number of their favorite driver but anyone ever got one or seen a Rolex crown or Tudor shield in the flesh?

Seen a few on this forum, most not real.

If it has no meaning to me, it doesn’t belong on my skin.

My stepfather got this one back in the 80s - Though not from dedication, he still views a Rolex as a waste of $ which could go to shop tools.

Is OP going for a new record on how many useless post one can start in a day?

Looks like a fake, the R and the L seem suspicious. One of the prongs on the crown seem a bit larger. Ask him where he bought from and if he got the full set?

I’ve seen a few in the wild. I’d prefer the watch to the tattoo.

I think he’s possibly making a point.

We have so many ridiculous posts about scratches the size of a dust particle, not being able to get a 13k watch at Rolex so get emo, do I look good with a watch on, how do I brown nose an AD long enough to get a watch, my rolex is much cooler with a steering wheel in background, I’m shaking so hard I got a call from AD for a watch as a grown man, etc threads so he’s driving home a point.

I think it’s hilarious.

I do admit that it’s less irritating than some of those posts you allude to.

Just checked I with my local tattoo AD , & apparently there is a waiting list of 3-6 years for a Rolex tattoo depending on what reference you want tattooing . If it’s a Daytona it’s looking more like 6 years because of the ink used ,but if it’s a Tudor tattoo you want , then you can walk in anytime with no appointment and have pretty much any choice of Tudor you want as the ink used is freely available.

I could never tattoo a brand on myself. Ever.

A meaningful picture or portrait of family or someone special would be nice but never a brand of a consumer product.

I have a close friend who manages an Apple retail store. He says he routinely has customers who show him tattoos of the Apple logo. He says he just gives them a thumbs up and doesn’t say anything bc he is at work.

Blows my mind why anyone would want a brand on their body. But I do recognize I am bias with zero tattoos.

No tattoo on ones body is the new tattoo.
