Tattoo Graphics
 

Hey, my brothers......

After several years on Active Duty with the Army, I never got a tattoo. Never found a design I liked, not enough detail.

I live on an Army base because my wife is now on Active Duty (called up for 3-8 due to the war).

For our 21st anniversary, she gave me a "coupon" (read permission" to get a tattoo.

I am looking for Beta graphics that might be good to ink on my shoulder.

I found one that has anice dragon holding the crest. It is cool in that the dragon is also the Army Chemical Corps symbol.

Please send me links.

Try google.com, search "beta theta pi" on the images section. I have found a few I love. I want to get another Beta tattoo. I have two of them, good stuff. See these pics for ideas (dragons):

Yeah, there really arent that many GOOD beta graphics on the web, that kind of sucks...

I've been looking for the same kind of graphic... I think I'll ask a few of my Art major brothers to whip us something up.

Ive decided im going to get one. Simple and Classy: Three stars. However, Im conflicted. Do I get it on my right wrist, my back, or my ankle.

I think the back would look the best, but if I get a tatoo I want to be able to see it, especially the three stars as a reminder, which is why the wrist is cool. However it seems really emo and hard to cover up. Ankle is my least favorite but it might be the best choice. I dont know, what do you think?

Bros., I have two tattoos. One on my upper Left bicep/shoulder, and one on my back right shoulder. Both are dragons with letters. Neither of them can be seen unless I am without my shirt - which is great.

I suggest putting them somewhere they cannot be seen when you are dressed normally/typically.

For the three stars, I personally think they would look awesome 'over your hear', or the same place you'd wear your badge. Better yet, a tattoo of our badge over your heart would be awesome.

I might have to call on that one...

Let us know what you do.

EWW, I like it.

I had that same idea a while back but forgot about it- getting a tattoo of the badge over my heart. Kind of a great reminder that you're not only a Beta when you wear your badge, and to "Earn your badge everyday." -Bill Berry, Vanderbilt '68.

first time poster, never even knew this thing existed...

anyways, i'm trying to get a Beta tat as well. I personally want a pissed off dragon on my shoulder blade, and have the letters, my chapter and roll number on there, I just haven't found any cool dragon pics on the internet.

Getting a tat of the badge would be cool, but remember that when partying, you wouldn't want your badge on you lol. Yeah we should practice "Earn your badge everyday" but you gotta have some fun every now and again.

Just some food for thought

Dreary the man....

I just went through with it

One of my brothers (and best friend) was up in Oxford last summer for Institute. While there, he got three huge stars inked under his left arm between his shoulder and his elbow. Said it hurt like hell. But, they're cool.

Most of chapter uses the stylized dragon, chapter, and roll number on their back (shoulder blade region). I haven't decided what I want yet.

Nice tat bro. If I can pic. mine and post them, I will.

Ballin' Out of Control
 

If you're looking for a really classy tattoo, you should get the pony inked up on your left pectoral. At that point, you'd pretty much reach the apex of frat.

Don't get a tattoo on a part of your body you can't hide. Businesses do not like to see that, especially (sp?) if you are dealing with other companies and trying to set a good public image. Hell even the Marines don't like them if you can see them sticking out of your uniform.

With that said, a couple of our brothers have Beta tattoos. One has the dragon and three stars inside of it and one has a dragon that is guarding a diamond.

right, but there aways to make it disappear. He could wear a watch

yeah, i thought about it being hard to cover up, but after getting it, the tattoo is covered by shirts, also Im a theatre major, so I have my own dash of foundation (req. to buy your own at school) which makes it look like nothings there if necessary. I just didnt want a tattoo that I cant see. To me, whats the point?

you know you have it. I have one on my back, it's not something that you forget.

No, its not about forget, as much as it is for reminding. You know, I can get caught up in something, and then see my wrist, and its an instant reminder of what those stars stand for. Its kind of something to keep me on track, and remind me of the vows i made to myself and my fraternity.

It took me forever to decide what tattoo I wanted and I finally figured it out. I got the stylized dragon on my right shoulder with my chapter and role number on it. It's simple and nice at thesame time.

Graphics Help
 

My Brothers,

I am in need of some graphics edit help. I need the Dragon holding the Crest image to be only a black wire frame outline.

Any body up to the challenge of editing the image? The local artist will gladly do the tat if I provide the wire frame image to start.

In _kai_,

Ed

Do you mean like this? (It's the best I could do with my limited photo editor.
