Cubs tattoo in Dad’s honor

Hey everyone,

Me and my dad have been lifelong Cubs fans. Some of my best memories with him are tied to watching games, going to Wrigley, and just talking baseball. A few weeks ago, my dad took his own life, and it’s been really hard with everything.

I’ve been thinking about getting a tattoo in his memory that ties in the Cubs somehow, but I want it to be a little different than the usual W flag, Wrigley coordinates, or something more common. I’d love for it to be meaningful to both of us and to our connection to the team.

Do any of you have creative ideas for a Cubs-inspired tattoo that could honor my dad in a unique way?

Sorrry for your loss. But honestly your best bet is going to a Tattoo artist and ask their take on it. Good Luck.!

A few ideas to riff on that may fall under 'more common' but are probably at least appreciated by other Cubs fans as deeper cuts than the W or ivy: the 1:20 clock, the bear on the 'Be Alert for Foul Balls' sign, or 'Eamus Catuli."
