Study Of Kimi’s Tattoos

Study of Kimi’s tattoos

Smiley sun tattoo (right arm) 2001-2002

We go back to sauber Kimi in 2001 when he first entered f1 and we can see that he didn’t have the sun smiley tattoo yet

Testing, Monza (July, 3-6th)

So when tf the tattoo appeared?

Mclaren era (2002 specifically)

the first picture is the Malaysia GP 2002 (second race of the season) and the second picture is from the Brazilian Grand Prix March 31, 2002 (third race of the season) so I don’t know exactly when he got that but it was something in between the last part of 2001 and the start of 2002 (I couldn’t find proof of the first race of that season).

Tribal tattoo 2007 (right arm)

He got the tribal tattoo on his right arm (rip smiley sun tattoo, we miss you) after he won his debut race for Ferrari in Australia [March, 18th], it was designed by him completely but some rumors said Ferrari was against it. Also you can kind of see some remnants of the smiley sun tattoo underneath [second picture].

About Ferrari being against the tattoo Jean Todd then said… but we know Kimi dgaf

“I read about it. We had dinner on Thursday and since it wasn’t mentioned I didn’t even notice the whole thing. What is the most important for me is that the people here in this team are happy. If Kimi would be happy with a tattoo on his face and would ask for my opinion I would advise him to put it in some place that is less visible because otherwise he might get some problems of it later. There is so much talk – with a smile and without a smile – but what is important is that everyone is concentrated on doing his job. With or without a tattoo. I don’t care. If a sponsor would complain about the tattoo I would rather change the sponsor just to keep Kimi happy”

Iceman tattoo 2007-2008

Kimi already had the Iceman tattoo and even his helmet had the Iceman lettering in the first race of the season [Australian GP 2008] but he didn’t have the tattoo in the last race of 2007 (first picture) so we can say it was obviously for his championship and he got that during the summer break(?)

Robin tattoo 2017

He got the Robin tattoo around January 2017 and we know that bc Minttu posted this picture hehehe (she got hacked and that acc doesn’t exist anymore)

college!kimi (and some seb) hcs

he's studying mechanical engineering with a desire to work in motorsports (obv)

he's not super into school but there are fun parties with free alcohol so

he's extremely smart and finds his classes kinda boring bc the concepts come so easily to him (idk how realistic this is bc mech engineering sounds crazy hard but can we just pretend?)

he shares a dorm with some crazy german kid named sebastian

seb is studying to be an environmental engineer (obv)

the two of them don't hang out much during the week (different classes/schedules) but party together on the weekend

with a little alcohol, kimi really opens up and goes wild (the first time seb saw him like that he couldn't believe it. he took so many pictures and videos that night so he wouldnt forget)

but by the end of a party, kimi is usually blacked out on the sofa while seb is singing and dancing with a group of girls he befriended earlier in the night

occasionally seb has people over, in which case kimi will sleep on the sofa in the common room (he can sleep anywhere, it doesn't matter to him)

kimi never really has anyone over. on the rare occasion that he hooks up with someone college-aged, he'll take them back to his room and seb will say something stupid like "threesome anyone??" before grabbing a book and leaving

kimi's more into older men (his thermodynamics professor is the only reason he doesn't fall asleep in class) so he'll usually insist that they go back to their place instead of the dorms

older men like him because he's got a cute face and is a bit shy and mysterious (and yes that may be true but more than that, kimi's just quiet. he doesn't feel the need to speak all the time)

he doesn't have many girls in his classes but the engineering building is next to the film building, so when gets out of his classes, he sees some girls leaving their film classes

they're cute but he has no idea how to approach them

plus he thinks that they probably think he's weird, and that when they look at him and giggle in their groups, they're probably laughing at him (this is completely false, of course. like the older men that kimi hooks up with, they think he's cute and shy and mysterious)

if he's not in class, sleeping, or studying, he's probably at the gym

the campus gym is open 24 hours so kimi goes at odd hours (super early or super late)

he went on a saturday at 8 am once and.........never again

he has to get a place off campus next year and will probably ask seb to be his roommate again. he's pretty much the only person that kimi can stand to be around for more than a few hours, despite the fact that they're opposites

and of course, reference pics!! here's them as freshmen (in this au they're sophomores but i like these pics. they scream "fresh out of high school and very lost")
