Woman Gets Tattoo Of Favorite Pizza Place On Her Arm - Gets Free Pizza

East Side resident Pat Lean has been eating at Pizza Shuttle since it opened in 1985. Although she's dined there at least once a week for 20 years and is recognized by the Shuttle's owners and staff, Lean wanted to make her loyalty and patronage a little more permanent.

In the summer of 2005 Lean had a six-inch drawing of the Pizza Shuttle logo tattooed onto her left forearm. It is a logo, she says, that she wears with pride.

"It's my favorite pizza in Milwaukee, for sure," says Leon, who is known for ordering her usual 14-inch thin crust pizza with grilled chicken, mushrooms and double garlic and a Miller Lite.

Lean says the idea for the tattoo came to her as she was sitting in Pizza Shuttle's dining room. She was looking at the sign outside and thought, "That would make a great tattoo."

Pizza Shuttle co-owner Mark Gold says that Lean approached him with the idea that day. "I thought it was a cool idea, and I told her that if she really wanted it I would pay for it."

Shortly after, Lean went to Brady Street's Bodyworks tattoo shop and got the $150 logo rendition permanently drawn on her arm.

Although it is far from her first tattoo -- being a sports fan, she also dons an NFL logo, a Green Bay Packers logo, among others -- she says this is the first ink job she's gotten for free.

"It worked out really well and I think it looks great," says Gold. "I was very touched that a customer felt so strongly about Pizza Shuttle that she wanted to get the tattoo."

To show his appreciation for her support, Gold gave Lean a year's worth of free Pizza Shuttle pizza.

1. Pizza Shuttle is the most disgusting pizza on the planet.

Once upon a time in a land far, far away, I ordered this stuff about twice a week in college. I didn't order it because it was good pizza, I ordered because my roommate and I could get 2 medium pizzas, 2 toppings each and 2 sodas for $8 - delivered. By the end of my freshman year, I could even look at their sign on the side of the road because I was so grossed out at the thought of the place. Still am.....all these years later....couldn't imagine eating that shit.
