The lack of pictures is unsettling. Toot lets see yr back art. Dov, what album cover?

Also, doesn't someone have a T-Rex tat?

Jen has a Marc Bolan portrait on her arm.

I think Shiv has band art...

He's got the ten of swords from a tarot deck that i think i remember he told me came from an album.

I was gonna say Shiv had some band/album art but I wasn't sure if that tarot card was from something.

Some of the inner pictures I really like...Just a matter of finding a way to incorporate a lot of it into one piece.

Just don't.

You'll regret it.

Get something original.

Think of it like a band t shirt you can never take off.

i guess on the plus side, Elliot Smith can't make an album to change your views on him.
I'm still pretty pissed I got that full Brett Favre sleeve.

I'm not gonna use this picture per say, the guy has a ton of great artwork which I like, and will probably choose from...but this is kind of the idea of what he does..

In high school I wanted to get a matchbox twenty inspired license plate. Luckily, I didn't follow through either.

I can't find the pic of the meat head with the huge Limp Bizkit back piece, but OH MAN.

Yea the one thing about getting tattoos of dead musicians is that they can't make anything else that sounds like shit.... my friend is getting an Ian Curtis inspired one this week as well... plus if i do regret it later, ill just have it removed, by that time laser removal will be as cheap as getting one done. Its no longer truly permanent.

I guess my problem is not the permanence but rather what you're trying to express to the world.

Also, I'm pretty much a seek pleasure avoid pain kind of guy. So the thought of stabbing myself for an hour w/ needles to then only be shot w/ lazers later is REALLY unappealing to me. I'll take a little pain for some later gratification. But what is gratifying about the tattoo? I have a picture of some dude who was depressed I can look at whenever I want? I have enough depressed dude looking back at me in the mirror every morning. No thanks.
