If I was to get a tattoo representing BJJ I would add it to a piece of a montage. That way one can get a full or quarter sleeve of seperate designs that are expressive. I honestly believe that slapping on just a simple graphic design is a horrible look for tattoos. I think a persons tattoo should be customized as much as possiable and follow the shapes of ones body.

I was a tattoo artist for two years. I gained this school of thought through alot of hard work.

That's great advice, I'm keeping that in mind if/when I get a tat.

you have to understand that getting a team logo tattooded on your skin is not a fashion statement, it's a testitment to one's loyalty and hard work with this speicific team and his proff.

Why would you get that tat being a Cesar Brown Belt? That's not even his symbol?

Also, I believe Cesar only has 4 Brown Belts, Nick Diaz, Nate Diaz, Jake Sheilds and Gil Castilo.. Which are you?
