Belts do not always reflect ones abillities, especially if you are Ronin. Its great that many are able to train at affiliate schools and become ranked, but there are a great deal of illigitimate badasses reppin 10th planet. You maybe surprised of the skill level of these unranked phenoms and it may change your outlook on rank. It is not easy to become ranked, especially when you are broke and far away from any affilliate. While I agree the tattoo looks like it was drawn on with a black pen, I disagree that rank would be an issue when it comes to ink.
Here is my 10th planet tribute tat. Kinda sucks having it on my back because I never get to see it. Attachment 1665
We've talked about this before. I totally get your reasoning. I feel the same way for myself. I get other people's reasoning too.....Especially now that I'm not going to be able to train consistently at a 10th planet school. It's just some people's way of repping 10th planet for life. Any school I step into from now on, I wanna represent well. And that's probably why I wouldn't get a 10th tat until maybe 2 years into blue/purple because if I'm gonna represent, I wanna represent well...and I wanna make sure I can kick some ass to back up the tat. 8)
I'm glad you enjoy your tat. I think it's cool to rep it. But I also hope you get it touched up in the future. Nice concept, but it wasn't executed too well.
I'm thinking of getting sleeved. I am still trying to work out what to get. I like the planet ideas. I had not thought of that.
Most things it's ok to save money on. A good mouthpiece, ink and brakes are not one of them though. Ever.

I got this right after i turned 18 when i was still a white belt, and i think it was a great decision. If it's something important to you i think you should go for it.
