people you know with band tattoos

• a girl: blur, oasis
• a dude: live

do label tattoos count?

I probably know at least three people with Black Flag tattoos.

Do Grateful Dead dancing bears count? I've known a few people with those. And one with the DSOTM prism.

i know a guy with a Wu-Tang tat & a girl with a Depeche Mode tramp stamp. oh, and i used to work with a girl who had 2Pac inked on her left breast.

Friend of mine's got a huge Iron Maiden tat.

Charlie No. 4 (sometimes of these parts) has a Stereolab tattoo.

I know quite a few people with Spacemen 3 tattooes. (And at least one dude with a Spiritualized Laser Guided Melodies tat.)

I saw a dude at the bus station once with a Kathy Kirby tattoo on the back of his hand.

someone sent me a video from YouTube the other day where a girls gets a Puscifer tattoo on her... well, you know.

Have posted about this before, but former roommate announced to us he was going to have a goth phase, got Sisters Of Mercy tattoo.

I have one band logo and two band/musician inspired tats.

I know someone who has a They Might Be Giants tattoo on his neck.

one guitarist with a john coltrane portrait tattoo
one new orleans dude with the name of his own band (that he is no longer in)

I know two older guys who both have the BOC anchor/cross logo. I guess it's called the sign of Saturn.

I know someone who has a They Might Be Giants tattoo on his neck.

Ironically, this is the title of a They Might Be Giants song.

Does one of the dudes at Aquarius have a Lesser tattoo? I think it was Aquarius, anyway...

Rocket From the Crypt would supposedly let anyone with a tattoo of their band logo into their concerts for free for life. I guess that's incentive....

not that I knew anyone who had one....

How many concerts have you gone to?

I have this tattooed on my arm, sans wording:

A Blur tattoo! Can you describe it? I've never seen one...

The only music-related tattoo I've ever pondered was the Modest Mouse hot air balloon being pulled down with an anchor.. love nautical imagery and the insinuation of trying hard to go in two directions at once.

i know a dude with the scribbled lennon self-portrait

Ever felt the need to get a tattoo of Bruce Springsteen wearing 3D glasses? One guy did.

Kind of wish I'd got some kind of metal tattoo when I was at the appropriate age. It would look awful, but be a good talking point.

haha

a dude: live

hahahahahahahahaha

that's the greatest thing

My best friend has the black sheep from this album cover and "out of step" done on his back

Generally think band/music related tattoos are usually a pretty bad idea but somehow it works for him.

i used to know a dude in college who had a giant 311 tattoo across his shoulders. DUMB ASS.

that's almost but def not quite as good as Live

yeah live is BAD.

I knew a bunch of hippies that had phish tattoo's..HORRID.

I know a girl w/ a Blind Melon tattoo.

One of my best friends has a couple of band inspired tattoos but they aren't obvious.

oh man is the blind melon a bee girl?

Oh and I've got this on my right upper arm

I would so fucking get the Ice Cream Kid! I've also thought about just getting a lightning bolt.

xpost Blind Melon tat not a bee girl iirc, unfortunately. I think it just says Blind Melon in cursive, with maybe the dates of S. Hoon's life or something. It's been a while since I've seen it.

I know a girl with a 70's era Elvis Costello tattoo on her forearm.

One of best mates has RIP STEVIE HYPER D AND MC RUFF written in a scroll on top of a really wonky cross on his arm. It's hilarious.

Stevie Hyper D and MC Ruff were UK hardcore/jungle mcs who coincidentally died in the same week in the late 90s if you don't know.

A tribute to a fallen happy hardcore MC on your arm? Ruff indeed.

My buddy has a Fugazi tattoo near a sloppy rendition of the Spitfire skateboards logo on his calf.

i had a friend with a boognish tattoo

i've thought about getting the wu W, like an inch square on the inside of my elbow.

HAHA, I had no idea what a Boognish tattoo is, but there are scads of them here:

When I was in high school I seriously contemplated getting that RHCP logo on my arm. Thank fuck I never did.

(Still want a Cocteau Twins "lullabies" tatt tho)

that would be quite pretty

Ive seen a few on ppl in pics and if its done well yeah it does look quite pretty and swirly.

Surely I know people with the Ramones logo.

A dude with a Dead Moon tat, among lots of other tats. Looks pretty cool

Always thought Jim's Factory tatt looked pretty fly, btw.
