I am changing a relatively new build into a Pittsburg Steelers rod. It was a plain jane so I added some yellow/gold thread bands with a little red and blue to try to match their logo.
Living in the hometown of the NFL Hall of Fame , I visited the gift shop hoping for a small decal. My choices were very poor for the size I needed so I thought I would try some thing a little different and I purchased tempoary tattoos, you know, the kind you put on your skin with a wet cloth. I let it dry and applied CP and it seems to be taking. I am trying it on a scrap piece of blank and will try the epoxy in the morning. If it works, it will open up a lot of new possibilities, unless of course some of you have tried it already. Ii will keep you posted. Bill Ohio Rod Builders Canton, Ohio Re: Tattoo ?????

I've used the Game Faces brand for several small college themed rods where a vinyl, higher end type decal was not available. I've had really great luck using them. Biggest thing was giving them time to dry since that brand is a wet application. ----------------- AD Re: Tattoo ?????

I built a little boy a Spiderman rod and used Spiderman stickers from Wal Mart . Put on a coat of CP and finished it. Worked great. J.B.Hunt Bowling Green, KY Re: Tattoo ?????

Speaking of doing things with team logos. I wanted decals small enought to put one on each of my guide wraps on a hawkeye rod for a gift, very tiny. After being frustrated trying to get one small that looked good, I found fingernail decals of all things. They're waterslide, virtually every team available, come in a pack of around 20 with different sizes for different guide sizes (fingernail sizes) :) Looked really good when I got them in the mail too. I'm sure someone has thought of this but who knows. When i get them on the rod I'll post the pics. Re: Tattoo ?????

Well, After a coat of ThreadMaster lite the only problem I see is the colors are a little weak to my eye. I`m sure the recipient will not even notice. so I guess all is well in the tattoo world.
