My Godfather tattoo

Just something I wanted to share with you die hards! Maybe the picture is not perfect, but this is because of the camera held in a difficult position. It think you can figure it out yourself but it is on the back of my shoulder (right from me). I can not explain why I did it. If someone told me 5 years ago I would get myself tattood, I would dissagree, but the Godfather movies and EVERYTHING around it (books of Mario Puzo, comment by different actors and books about books on this movie, etc.,etc.,etc.) inspired me and my way of life. Sad? I do not think so, but that is just my feeling. Everytime I look at it, it reminds me something. What that something is, symbolizes 9 hours of pure emotion.

The Godfather; it is a way of life!

Francesco Corleone

Ps: I also uploaded the upfront, just in case there is an Apollonia somewhere here. Let me get hit by thunder!

Defintitely a die hard fan!! Looks like nice work.

Your turn Don Palentino...when you gonna unveil yours?

As soon as I seen this topic, I new you were gonna say something like that I'll unveil it sooner or later

Very handsome picture FC...nice, exuberant smile.

DP, ok you are WAY behind....first the tat then we want to see your purdy face!

Why you are a cute young man FC. How old are you again?

Very Nice F.C.

Does anyone think he looks like a young Bruce Greenwood??? (If anyone knows who I mean??

TIS

I like the artwork FC I always wanted to get one but seem to chicken out at the last minute.

That's cool as... And also not too over the top like the other picture we've seen on the guy who's covered his back in all sorts of Godfather ways. Very good Francesco.

When you said 9 hours of pure emotion, I thought "holy crap, you must have a slow tattoist". Then common sense kicked in and realised it was the films you meant. I'm a buffoon.

By the way JG said a while ago that one day he was going to create a web page for tattoos such as this if he could get enough together. Give him a shout and see what he thinks.

First of all: all the women; thank you for your compliments. I just put my face with this topic to show you who I am. And why not, the chance of seeing someone of you in real life is (and I qoute Axl Rose) one in a million...if the pain was worth it? Man, there was no pain. Ofcourse, as a Godfather should I asked permission to my father and mother. That was the most important thing because I am still living with them and the had to agree...There is another pain though; the pain of regret. But I must say that I look at my tattoo every day and I never had one doubt of placing it. The desicion of placing it was when I saw the movie about thirty times and still crying at the end. This is a circle of life I keep repeating every 2 or 3 months. Just to value life I guess. For me there is a lot of violence in the Godfather but I think everything is justified. Reading the Famliy on this moment gives me more backup on that sentence.

Second: who the hell is Bruce Greenwood...

Third: I was wondering if there are more people with a GF tatto on this board. I think JG has allready viewed the topic, but I will contact him. I have seen Pacino en de Niro in tattoo magazines here and they gave me chills...

Francesco Corleone

I respect your decision and I have nothing against tattoos, but I personally don't like the one you have! In my opinion you should learn something from Vito or Michael about "understatement" because that tattoo is most definitely too big! The hand with the strings on one of your shoulder-blades, that would have been a nice tattoo, something with personality, not just as big and as obvious as possible! You seem to be in love with the movie, but not with the lifestyle! Remember: true gangsters move in silence!

My dear GF colleague. Please look good at the picture, it is not bigger than the palm of my hand. Therefore I respect your words and ofcourse I agree with them...I think the picture was taken too close because it is on the top of my right shoulder blade...

I give the size which I think it is: 15 x 8 cm...

Francesco Corleone

F.C.

I'm not the expert that Saladbar is, but I will try to post this link with pics of Bruce Greenwood. Evidently I'm the only one who has heard of him. A couple years back he starred in a short lived tv show called "Nowhere Man" (which I actually liked) and I've seen him in several tv movies. I think he's cute (for what that's worth)therefore, mean it as a compliment. Anyway, here goes!!

You're a die hard godfather fan FC! But you're a least not saying that you wanna look like a mobster, having a tattoo then would be fake, that would be the same as wearing a godfather T-shirt with "The Godfather" printed on it.

Micheal Corleone 14: could not have said it better myself. Although I do live like the rules of the Godfather in relationships with people. Except murdering ofcourse or saying that a button must be pushed.

...15 x 8 cm sounds good to me! In the picture the tatto seems to cover your entire back. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding! Keep doin' you!

The Godfather t-shirt sold on FFC's winery website is niiiiiiice! I have one.

Hoi Francesco!

Nice tattoo (even though it looks good I already feel the a pain associated with getting it LOL) and nice picture - Dutch men are babes!

thats great

I like it, when do you do the image of Vito and Michael. And when you finished that you could take a tatto with .....

Why don't you take an Apollonia tattoo?

you should see the pic of the guy's back posted before(and i've used it as my wallpaper). almost all of the Godfather main characters are tattoed on his back, including Appolonia . . .

GoodFella

What I want to see is someone get Fabrizzio's tattoo from the novel Of course, they'd have to be able to flex.

Yes I've seen that picture. Marvelous.

Nice tatoo! I plan to get one when I'm a little older.

Sorry guys, but I'm not that m that uch of a die-hard.

Sorry guys, but I'm not that that much of a die-hard.

I was looking for alternate versions of the Godfather novel books covers when I came across this! Yikes! This one has the lot! is there anything he left out?



Kinda makes you hope the guy sporting this tattoo won't put on any weight or get any stretch marks

that's the guy i'm talking about.

GoodFella

The guy on sveta's picture is f*ckin' nuts. And besides, the characters don't look real.

Francesco Corleone, could you re-post the pic of your tattoo?? It won't work for some reason.
I have a potentially fatal tattoo, about 4 months ago i got this thing of ours inked down my left forearm, best not visit any mob hangouts! Gotta say, i love the tattoo though!
My ex-girlfriend has a cool tat of 'Jessica Rabbit' holding a gun on her left shoulder blade, plus numerous others.
I'll post a picture of my tattoo as soon as i figure out how to upload it to the net.

Bump
That sounds absolutely great.

I'll try and post a picture of it, nothing to impressive, just written in old english writting. still, i love it!!!

Am I the only one who cant see Francesco's pic? I like the other one, not that I would ever undertake a thing like that

I've been wanting to get the hand, puppet strings and The Godfather official logo on my right upper arm; however, I've been afraid I'll get in some chop-shop with a guy who can't spell. Do you know if there is a tattoo pattern for the Logo?

hey man

the pic of ur tat wont appear id be interested in seeing it though. would u send me an email of it?

supermanatemydog@aol.com

cheers

Dear GF Fans,

It has been a while before posting here but because I have a page with all my information about me in Holland including a picture of the tattoo brought me back to this topic.

I do read a lot here but I haven't seen that someone asked me for a new picture of the tattoo.

Sorry for that and I will bring a new one asap!

Francesco Corleone.

Yes please do. I'd love to see it too.

I have got the exact same one as you described and I used the DVD logo on the box. They scanned it to 125% and made the linings on my skin afterwards. So no chance of miss spelling...

Francesco Corleone.

As promised.

Francesco Corleone

That's pretty neat! I want to get that airbrushed onto a shirt since I'm too wimpy to get a tattoo!

Pretty cool. I'm not a big fan of tattoos, but that is a good one.

Thats pretty nice. About how much would you have to pay for something like that, if you dont mind me asking?

I paid 100 euro's in Holland for it...

Thanks for your comments.

Francesco Corleone

Yeah in a few years that is definetely gonna be on my back or arm. Prove to people just how uch I love The Godfather.
