Marner follows Matthews, gets Neptune Myth Tattoo...

[S E P H]

It's Zeus for anyone that is wondering.

Just need Nylander to hop on the bandwagon.

Are you sure? I swear it said Neptune/Poseidon in the article.

not a tattoo guy ? lol

nothing wrong with it

Nothing wrong with tattoos, it's cool seeing hockey sort of break that barrier (in respect to the NFL/NBA). However, as Notsocommensense says, people are getting tattoos just because. There's no meaning behind it anymore, which we live in a free society so they can do what they want, but it's not unique.

Is it just me or do people get tattoos now just because?

Well they do play for the leafs so odds are they're pretty dusty.

Is the statue's left eye supposed to be twice as small as the right one?

"The detailed image of Neptune/Poseidon (which appears to be based on “Bust of Neptune†by French sculptor Lambert-Sigisbert Adam)"

Sure is Zeus...

 

[SnoopDogg]

looks awful

then again I can't stand tattoos, I didn't think Marner was a tattoo guy either

 

[lindholmie]

Yeah. They look dumb af too.

and people wonder why the NHL is so boring

 

[Jozay]

"utterly ridiculous"

Its not that serious

When Marner ends up regretting this tattoo, he should tell his kids that he's part Greek which is why he has such a strong attachment to Poseidon/Zeus/Thornton.

But the guy looks 12 still. Maybe he got it to look more masculine.

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

He will regret that one day, probably sooner rather than later.

Assuming something like that is just dumb.

As opposed yesteryear when no one ever did anything without an explicit purpose?

 

[Frank Drebin]

I don't see anyone getting upset in this thread.

You know who is getting upset in this thread? My mom!

 

[Gord]

He will regret that one day, probably sooner rather than later...as in he already regrets it. What a weirdo.

it's a tattoo that he wanted, obviously means something to him, and is very well inked.

too many people here judge others by their own standards. he's no weirdo for getting it done, or for the subject matter.

This is getting utterly ridiculous, but hey the powers to them.

Why is it ridiculous?

 

[King'sPawn]

As far as artwork, it's gorgeous.

Not a fan of tattoos though. People can do what they want, and I respect that, but it's just not something I would want to have on my own skin.

Well said. Most people don't regret their tattoos, because it represents a certain time and place in their life. Especially when the quality is as high as this one.

 

[Del Preston]

Did he get it on his thigh or arm?

 

[Sojourn]

I cannot blame people on commenting something before reading the link provided thoroughly as that would make me a hypocrite then, but try to get it right when you do, I'm fairly sure the article says it's Neptune, not Zeus. :]

"The detailed image of Neptune/Poseidon (which appears to be based on “Bust of Neptune†by French sculptor Lambert-Sigisbert Adam)..."

Positive symbology could be: High winds & Horses -> speed? God of fresh water & seas -> (fortune on) Ice?

Other than that Poseidon is quite a controversial character linked to Medusa, the Cyclope etc.

It's not like Zeus would be any better. The dude never saw a god or mortal that he didn't want to sleep with.

It's "No Ragrets"

But hilarious

Google bad tattoos
It's awesome

 

[Crosbyfan]

You know who else gets upset about tattoos?

My mom.

LOL. Great spin!

 

[Crosbyfan]

In his defence...

why would he get a tattoo of joe thornton?

...at least it is not "just scored 4 goals" Joe Thornton

 

[avsfan09]

I think it's pretty cool. It's his body, and the artwork is done well. I've always enjoyed Mythology (Greek, Roman, Norse, and Egyptian), so I think it's pretty cool.

Poseidon was associated with the horse, a strong and powerful animal known for working hard, as well as the dolphin, a fast and intelligent animal. Two of the more noble creatures.

Even if this isn't why he got it, but he just enjoys Poseidon or how it looks, then that's his prerogative. For someone to consider it "utterly ridiculous" or act as though this is a mistake just reminds me of the old man yelling at the clouds from The Simpsons.

Funnily enough we were discussing this over dinner last night and my friend's 65 year old mother was talking about how ridiculous it is for people to get tattoos with no other reasoning than "tattoos are dumb and people just shouldn't get them". lol

This. Just another excuse for people to be judgemental and ignorant. You don't know his reasoning so why judge haha.

Do you really think people are getting tattoos "just because" . They obviously have personal meaning or significance. It's not about being the first guy with a tattoo lol its about the feeling it gives him. Maybe he'll regret it, maybe not. It's not like it's a stupid tattoo, misspelled, or of something hell obviously regret later (GF's name ect.)

Also lol at the irony behind calling someone's tattoo "utterly ridiculous" but not seeing how starting a thread to whine about someone else's insignificant life decision on hf is perhaps even more "utterly ridiculous".

Was there really anymore meaning involved in getting a tattoo before or is there simply more given to older tattoos because it was more rare? I lean towards thinking things haven't really changed that much.

Either way, nice tattoo, cool to see the work players are getting.

Why does he have RIP Van Wrinkle on his arm?
