Painful, expensive and forever # Armwrestling # Armpower.net

Some armwrestlers decided to immortalize their sport achievements on their body. Why do they make it? ()

I love good tattoos, this art follows you everywhere. A good tattoo is something that you can stand for and maybe give a hint of who you are. I did my first one, the three stars on my forearm, in 2011 at a vacation in Thailand. I had for a long time wanted to do one and I wanted to start with something small. So I chose to make stars because it reminds me of that even in the dark there's light. And they are always there even if you always can't see them. My other tattoo, a bars code with the name Jorin underneath, stands for that we shouldn't put labels at everything. We all are equal but at the same time unique. Jorin is my middle name, half part of it from my dad's name and the other half from my mom's.

I have no tattoos yet connected with armwrestling but someday I might! I would love to do more.

I've never had any problems with my tattoos in work situations. It's maybe because they are so small but I think that Sweden has started to have an accepted view at tattoos and doesn't affect so many jobs. And many times people ask to show my arm with the tattoo when taking photos, even if that's my weaker arm.

Tattoos are like a piece of jewelry to me. I like them, they fascinate me.

I did my first one at 24, a tiger head with a rose. I needed one just like that. I have on my right arm “World & European champion”. I did after my first gold medal at the worlds and European championship.

I get inspired by other people's tattoos. Well one of my tattoos is not finished so yes and i think it's not the last one well I work at Ikea and they don't have any problem with tattoos. Most people like the one I have on my arm.

I like tattoos, especially when there is sense behind them. I did my first when i was 18 years old. It is the tattoo on my right arm. I am born 1988 and this is the year of the Dragon. Another reason to choose Dragon is that this ancient creature is symbol of mightiness. A year later I tattooed a dragon on my left arm too. The last one is the tattoo on my right biceps. It is connected with armwrestling. I was looking for a long time what a tattoo I want. One night i had a dream, and when i woke up… eureka! I already knew what it would be. I went to my tattoo-master and said to him what I want. He drawn it, and the next week it was already on my biceps.

 Maybe after some time i will tatoo another one... We will see...
