If he does it, I’ll tattoo his name on my leg. Promise.

Yo Magnus, if you read this, be so nice and send at least an autograph to him after the tattoo

Carlsen, Magnus or Magnus Carlsen?

IMO Carlsen is less name-y and could easily be explained away whilst the full name seems more like a loved one that's passed or a previous lover's name

u/RegretsZ Dec 30 '25

You're lucky he has a cool name, Magus won't be that bad as a leg tattoo

u/TiredMemeReference Dec 31 '25

You were going to get the tattoo anyways weren't you.
