Personally I tend to go more for a discreet pin on my lapel, but looking at this guy's biceps I'm certainly not about to argue with his tastes. Pratt & Whitney are pleased enough with the result to tweet on it (first mention for Twitter on UA there). I'd like to know why our decorated Brazilian friend wanted to do this but there's no explanation. However, there are many more aviation tattoos here if you like that sort of thing.Search this blog

Hello Kieran - Thank you so much for posting this reference to our blog, Tattoos In Flight at www.TattoosInFlight.com. I sent an email to the wearer of the P&W tattoo about what drove him to tattoo his dedication to the Pratt & Whitney brand and will gladly pass it along to you when he responds. I also sent him a link here, so he may respond directly.
Thanks again and stay tuned for more interesting aviation tattoos in the weeks ahead!

Good to hear from you Ryan. If I ever get tempted by the ink I'll keep you informed. Look forward to hearing what motivated our Brazilian friend.

Tatoo is a bit of our personalities, It was the expression of the guy for he liked and loved. For me nothing is odd as long as we mean what we do.
