Anyone Have Rolex Tattoos?

Okay, so maybe this is for the younger crowd here on TRF(which undoubtedly exists), but I'm curious if any of you tattooed Rolex freaks out there have any ink representing your Rollie??

Is it crazy I'm thinking about getting the coronet somewhere?

Thoughts? Pictures if you have them!


I figure my addiction to this branding is already at dangerous levels....

Why get the tattoo when you have the watch?

Well, I'm already a little "tatted" up anyways. The Rolex brand is much more then a watch to me. It has a lot of sentimental value with me involving my grandfather. I still remember the first day he got his 18k Presidential Rolex. It was a life long dream to own that watch for him, and even as a young lad I remember the look on his face. Combine that with my own personal attraction/addiction to the brand, well, I figured it would be a cool addition to the ink I have representing the important stuff in my life.

No. But I'm trying to decide on what my second tat is going to be, and that's not a bad idea!

the point is that everyone gets them these days same with male earrings. you now stand out by not having them. I tend to agree to a reasonable extent. Just because 10 million flies eat $h1t does not mean it tastes good sort of idea

There have been a few threads here on Rolex tattoos. As for me, I do not have one and probably never will. I did have one idea though. And that would be getting a tattoo on the wrist right where the watch sits, so that it covers it up. There would plenty of room to do a crown there.

"Well that's one way of looking at it" the flea said as he walked across the mirror.

Just changing of the times I guess. It happens with every generation.

I'm sure by the time I have kids, there will be something I can sit around and talk down about their trends as a grumpy old man.

This is kind of a cool idea. Like a parking space for your Rolex. Spot reserved for Rolex only.

Now what makes you think I'm talking down tattoos? My son, also named Brandon, has a few. To each their own, brother.

Sorry if I misunderstood you. Seemed like you were making a point about how people with tattoos are esentially sheep.

To each their own indeed. You couldn't have picked a better name for your son. Well done.

No worries, pal. Some are sheep and some are genuinely dancing to their own beat. Either way, it's ok by me.
Now how my son got that name? Well some afternoon when you have 20 years I'll tell ya' that story.
