The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Has anyone out there got a Breitling tattoo?

There's a guy who knows a couple of the members here (I don't know if he's actually a member here himself) who has a pretty big Breitling wings tattoo on his back I believe. I'm pretty sure I've seen a picture either here or on WUS of it.

I also recall seeing another member here who had a Breitling tattoo on his arm or wrist if memory serves.

That tat will be Lou, one of the Duxford 10.

Right across his back likely measuring 4' (Lou is a big guy)

Cheers. I think I saw that guy when I googled 'Breitling Tattoos' some time ago.
I have also seen one on the inside of someones arm.

Anyway.
Who are the Duxford 10?

Here is my Tattoo which I had done earlier this year.

Now that is dedication to a brand.

Do you have any other similar brand tattoos?

No other brand tattoos.
But my other tattoo is dedicated to the Apache helicopter.

As a guy that has quite a bit of ink, I might just have to come up with something.

Very very special...!

Could I be the eleveth member?...... It dos'nt quite have the same ring to the title....though..

But I do love a drop of the golden fizzy stuff!!

I have A LOT of tattoos, but I don't think I could ever have a logo inked on me, each to their own though!

I bet you thought long and hard to which was going to be your first tattoo.
What I have found is there generally is a theme to most peoples tattoos, do you have a theme?
Well mine is aviation and inline with that, for me, comes Breitling and helicopters.
The tattoo brings great interest on a regular basis, but it was not done for that. I like the brand and feel fortunate to own one of their watches, that too brings great interest.
I have found that people not connected with aviation do not recognise the brand name or emblem.. for me it will always be the....'Instrument for professionnals'.
