[Freedom Ink Toronto] Free Raptors Tattoos This Week To Celebrate NBA Finals

I wonder if they'll allow a small script under the predetermined designs that reads "Bad Decisions"....

I have no problems with people doing tattoos as a reasoned, thought out decision. I know nothing about Freedom Ink so do your own research.

BUT FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE.

DON'T DO THIS unless you were already thinking of getting raptors tattoo over the last 10 years ago when they weren't doing well but just couldn't afford it !!! Preferably, you will be in your 80's and this can only be an improvement on the wrinkles that you live with daily)

A whopping 78% of people eventually regret their tattoo.

This is a real number.

Current Tattoo removal methods don't work well. You will get scarring. At best, it will be a lighter mark. It is not like wiping the skin clean like an etch-a-sketch.

Unless you are in the hip hop industry, this will at best be neutral and possibly; a negative to your employability. (What if your interviewer was a Bucks fan!).

I'm proud that the raptors have done well this year. But if you think that this will be the best thing that you will permanently mark on your body; you lack imagination (on your deathbed, will the Raptors be the one memory that you will cherish above all others -eg: family / children / lovers, climbing mount everest)...

Having said all this, I know I will be flamed for this but PLEASE take some time to consider this.

I speak from personal knowledge... and (very little) wisdom of age.

I completely (and respectfully) disagree with the poster above. My ink (I have three) are all personal memories. Even if you do grow old why wouldn't you want something to remember an exciting time of your life when you were young?. Find me someone who regrets getting a tattoo to celebrate Joe Carter's home run in '93 and I'll admit I'm wrong. Besides, it's not like getting a kahwai tattoo that might be outdated in a few months (stop it, slim - no bad vibes - he's gonna stay).

I prefer a script that reads "Pobody's Nerfect"

These are the designs they offer... simple, but hey, they are free

To some people, this is the exact definition of what tattoos are about; an important period or moment in your life that you will never forget.

Sure, I wouldn't get "RAPTORS NBA FINALS 2019" tattooed, but the dinosaur logos look decent at least and at least have some backstory for people compared to those generic lines, shading and scribbles people get.

The 4 dino ones don't really communicate Raptors well imo. I have a feeling the claw 1 will be the 1 to get with Kawhi in mind.

To anyone considering these keep in mind you will not be able to donate blood for months after getting it done.

Lol promo ending early today due to overwhelming demand

When a good gesture gets abused

Now, this is something id be wary of. I would NOT get a rushed tattoo or when the artist is tired, sounds like people are abusing and being stingy and not even tipping.

Yeah, especially - I have no way of knowing whether or not this is true but I kind of assumed it from the simple designs - if their senior apprentices are doing them and not their experienced artists.
