npgraphicdesign 2 #1 September 18, 2012 So, I'm finally getting around to working on the custom drawings on my helmet. I have come up with a few killer typographic designs, but a few of them involve the use of less than savory words, especially the phrase 'f*ck fear'. Although it looks damn cool, I'm wondering if I should put that on my helmet. It'd be pretty permanent. On that note, would you ever embroider a curse word on your jump suit or rig? Or even get one as a tattoo? Of course it would have to do with the skydiving culture...not just random curse words. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missbrz 0 #2 September 18, 2012 as a tattoo? probably not. On my gear, possibly. Especially helmet, I can always cover it with a sticker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airtwardo 6 #5 September 18, 2012 Coming into contact with the general wuffo public as I often do with demos, I find it much better to leave the questionable graphics off...never know who you might come in contact with or offend. That being said, one guy on our team has the funniest little penis with sunglasses and a red circle & slash on his helmet...denoting 'no dickheads'. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldwomanc6 38 #9 September 18, 2012 Nope. On my body/gear is too much of a commitment, both financial and corporeally. I did have a tee shirt that said ESAD (a four-way team in the early 80s).lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iluvtofly 0 #11 September 18, 2012 I don't see a problem with it at all. I see tons of skydivers with the word fuck in particular on their helmet. As long as it doesn't take up the ENTIRE helmet I don't see what the problem is. Maybe just make that one a little smaller so it doesn't stand out so much.

theonlyski 3 #12 September 18, 2012 Quit being a sissy. Put it on your helmet, if you're going to be in a place that it might be offensive, put a piece of gaffers tape over it. I give stickers to my rigging customers that say 'Ski rigs my shit' (hell, Rick made the damn things! Thanks again!)

Demo gear is "different" than what you'd wear at a dz. If you demo, I agree, be professional.
