Spartan Helmet Tattoo
There are all kinds of mythical tattoos that one can get. You’ll see medieval shields, weapons, helmets, and even armors emblazoned on the bodies of many people. My brother Dave recently decided to get a tattoo of a Spartan helmet placed onto his chest. Our ancestors lived in Sparta and we have always been fascinated with the battle stories of the Spartans.
My brother has watched the film “300″ forty two times already. The helmet is most easily recognized as a Spartan warrior’s head gear so we figured it would be the best thing to tattoo on him. Eventually he’ll get a Spartan shield on his left arm and a Spartan spear on his right arm. He might even tattoo the words “Spartan Soldier” on his stomach. He says he’ll loop the word so that it arcs across his midsection.
When we first brought Dave to our local tattoo parlor and asked the tattoo artist to place a Spartan helmet on his chest he said he couldn’t do it. The artist said he would like to try, but he did not really have a good idea of what a Spartan helmet looked like. We decided that we had better get a picture of our Spartan helmet before returning to the parlor. Rather than get a picture we eventually decided to go to armor venue and just purchase a nice replica. This Spartan helmet looked stunning and the purchase price was around eighty dollars before shipping costs. After using our Discover card to pay for it, we only had to wait a short time before receiving it.
Once we got the helmet we went back down to the tattoo parlor with the helmet. We showed the artist the helmet and he became really excited about the job. Within a few minutes he had already sketched us out a great looking tattoo template. We had him put a temporary version on Dave so that he could get a feel for what it would actually be like. After this we told him we would come back in a week to let him know if Dave wanted to go through with the tattoo.
Dave ended up going back and getting the tattoo. The Spartan helmet tattoo is now permanently placed on his left pectoral muscle. The compliments he has gotten on his tattoo have been great, even his girl friend likes it. The fact that even she finally approved of the tattoo made it even more special.
