Band tattoos

CharlotteValentine got me thinking... have any of you (or people you know) got tattoos of band names, albums, or songs that you now think are utterly shitty/embarrassing/stupid?

'Cos if I did, I'd be like...

OOPS

tats are lame, i went through a phase last year where i wanted tattoos like devendra banharts, he is the only person that looks goot with them though. and i think nick zinner's little star tat is pretty good too. my friend got a big RATM star on his bicep and regrets it ALOT.

a guy i know has a big NOFX on his thigh.....................ewwww


CharlotteValentine  said about 5 years ago:

A massive amount of my friends are punk boys and I can betcha a dollar that at least 70% of them have band tattoos. And not always good ones, either.

Worthy Of Mention:
One ex of mine has discharge, exploited, Oi Polloi, etc tatts.
A guy I went to school with has the Op Ivy guy.
A friend has a Bastard Squad skull.
A girl I used to work with has the name of a Cure album.

Ummm... there's more but I'll post as I remember them....

Bugsy.  said about 5 years ago:

i know someone with a kurt cobain portrait on his arm
i reckon thats pretty embarrasing


CharlotteValentine  said about 5 years ago:

Haha, oh, and this other guy I know has a Crass tattoo... except he's like really pro-establishment and not into anarchy in the slightest. Which is cool and all... but not if you have a Crass tattoo.


P-joanie  said about 5 years ago:

ha! I know someone from school who had Kurt R.I.P tattood on his arm. then he changed it to Burt. for some stupid reason.

correct


Mi Goreng Rules  said about 4 months ago:

Can't see it. I'll have a look on a computer later. But I assume you're who I think you are. And with that in mind, I must ask - What's been happening with Hell City Glamours? It used to be hard to avoid you guys, but I barely see you anymore. Not that I had a problem with it. I've enjoyed every time, but they're few and far between these days. In fact, I think the last time I saw you guys was when you opened for Hardcore Superstar & Ink. That was just after Silver left too. That was fucking ages ago.

Also, my contribution to the thread...

I have a Led Zeppelin tattoo on my leg and the Candy Harlots logo above my cock.

No, actually, it was Rose Tattoo & The Angels at Coogee. With Sebasrockets

Are you in Sydney? If so I know her

yes, I'm in sydney


Mo  said about 4 months ago:

glad you enjoyed :-)

just writing a new record at the moment, but we kinda took a break towards the end of last year, just to re-charge a bit and work on new songs, like we have been gigging fairly solidly for the last 7/8 years or so, so we had a bit of 7 year itch around last year,

i think we got 6 songs in the can for the record, just getting the rest sorted etc and then there's a doco that we're making on the band as well, we've had a bloke filming since we recorded the album in 08, came with us to the US etc and that'll be ready same time the album is and it'll probably come with the album

we're not in any huge rush though, we're VERY lucky we got a small but very loyal bunch of folks who dig hcgs and we figure it's not like radio/festivals or anything like that is bashing down our doors (not a whinge at all, we know what kinda music we play and its 'viability' lol) so we can take our time and just make sure the record gets us off personally, everything else is gravy

if you're interested, some youtubes of us working on new shit i have another 5 or 6 of these videos we did but i just never got around to finishing, my dog got cancer, had to put him down and those vids just kinda got lost in the ether

gabbo  said about 4 months ago:

i have often thought about getting a band-related tattoo (most often at soundwave where it seems you get one with your ticket), but so many bands that i thought i loved 10 years ago i never listen to now.

anyone here regret their tatts, or does everyone make a wise decision, or do people force themselves to remain into/defend a band just because they have a tatt of them?

questions!


dudewolf  said about 4 months ago:

this. with the exception of a few, but i'm not sure i'd like a babes in toyland related tattoo.


dnzr  said about 4 months ago:

i have a Modern Life Is War tattoo.

not the best idea but at least it's just a song title rather than a logo.

still, pretty silly.

my ex had a sleeve which was basically the cover of some shitty hardcore band he loved.
the sleeve was pretty okay though.
