Collingwood fan Robert Cooksey tattoos nipple with pride

THE nipple tattoo Robert Cooksey is now sporting was meant to commemorate Collingwood taking home the premiership cup. They lost, but he got inked anyway. It’s, umm, interesting …

Robert Cooksey has gone ahead with having a nipple tattoo featuring a pantless Collingwood player.

THE nipple tattoo Robert Cooksey is now sporting was meant to commemorate his beloved Collingwood taking home the premiership cup.

They lost, he got inked anyway.

The cartoon style tattoo has been perfectly inked to transform Mr Cooksey’s nipple into a penis.

The character is wearing a Collingwood guernsey — Mr Cooksey’s favourite AFL team.

The 28-year-old’s mates reckon it’s a laugh and his parents don’t believe he’s actually done it but it’s his partner Marie who was behind the cheeky ink.

“It all started a couple of days before the grand final,” he said.

“The missus found that sort of picture on the internet and she reckoned I had the right nipples for the tattoo, because I had a big nipple.

“I said I was going to get that if we won the grand final but I decided to get it and just get the date put on when we win next year.” He said his partner thought the tatt was funny. “She thinks it’s great she wanted me to get it, she reckons it’s good,” he said.

The nipple.

“I don’t know about when I’m old and it starts hanging over and you’ve got to lift it up to show people.”

With a new baby, a good-luck charm, he thought his team was in for a win, but it wasn’t meant to be.

He said the tattoo took about an hour and a half and cost $150 but because of how much it hurt he said he’d have to think before getting his other nipple done.

The unique tattoo isn’t his first though.

The Woodroffe resident had a home-job tatt “bore slayer” etched onto his leg by a friend. Mr Cooksey got inked at Tattoo Territory Body Art Studio by visiting artist Sheree who goes by Pantera Ink.

She said she’d been a fan of the nipple tattoo for a while but Mr Cooksey’s was the first she had done.

“He didn’t complain once which is really unusual for guys,” she said.

She predicted they would gain in popularity over the next few years.
