30 Edi-inspired tattoo ideas to commemorate your time at uni
Time to get tattooED
If ever there was a time to get a tattoo, it would be after you’ve completed your degree at Edinburgh University.
Who cares what your nan would say, you’ve just survived four whole years living in arctic conditions and watching your youthful optimism die. Of course you should commemorate this magical time by putting a tribute to Edi on your body forever.
However, for a graduating cohort of indecisive-and-anxious-oat-milk-latte-drinkers, choosing what to get tattooed can be a really hard task.
You want something that looks cool and aesthetic, but also perfectly captures the essence of spending four years in this city. Furthermore, it can’t be so garish as to offend your new bosses at the law firm/finance company/marketing job you’re about to start at.
But don’t you worry because we’ve come up with 30 Edi-inspired tattoo designs that are just dying to make a permanent feature on your body.
I genuinely think some of these would make really cute tattoos, while others would provide you with a next level Tinder bio line. I mean, who wouldn’t swipe right on ‘I have an Appleton Tower tattoo’.
And if it turns out to be a disastrous decision, you can always get it covered up with daddy’s money.
