Tattooed Musicians come share your work

[xCaptainx]

ah I have a small collection of ink, hahah. The only 'musical' ones I have are related to my old band etc.

Just got my throat and my face done a few weeks ago







Excuse the bung angle!

other side of my neck





scarface tattoo on back of neck



Evil Dead chainsaw tribute, haha



hahah my knuckles say BUSY LIVN (Shoreshank reference) my girl as 'Devotion'. Combined we're the ultimate Devo tribute band.

Palm tattooed would hurt like fuck, and they are a bitch to keep in. I want to get mine done. I've been told the best way to do it is with a massive magnum/cluster and a rotary and litterally punch it in i.e. no line work or dragging of needle. It will just break up the fat tissue and cause the ink to go everywhere.

Really not looking forward to that, haha.

Sorry to hijack the thread with non musical tattoos. I just love tattoos, haha. I have plenty more but no decent photos!

[shinenz]

Haha, all good man. Yer agree with magnum, wife used a colour packer for palm, and realistically palms, hands etc need a couple of goes until the "patchiness" is gone. So many tattooist wont tattoo hands, palms etc, it's only cause the ink falls out and they don't want a bad name. We just tell people come back and we'll put the ink back in free of charge, as we know it's guna have issues.

You got some kick arse tats there dude. Ouch on the fuckin neck? I had side of my head done many moons ago, and that had it's moments.

Here is a tat my wife did last week, took 8 hours from start to end, the guy did it in one sitting, madness I know, but he was keen, wifey didn't mind, she designed it also.

She just tattooed this guys neck this afternoon, stars all over it, represented his kids...

No tatts for me, I'm the kind of person that would get sick of them in a week and regret it forever.

But you wouldn't know until you got one, otherwise it's just an assumption of how you "might react" I think you'd possibly be addicted hence why you stay away arrhh hahah

[Jenesis]

Yep, addictive personality as well which is another reason to stay blank.

[shinenz]

Arh I knew it!!! We'll do you an extra cheap tat, hows that haha, get your first taste, then we'll put the price up!! "jokes"

[Ironbird13]

hmmm, might have to get some photos of my ink, got a few, nothing for a few years though, first one was the Sepultura 'S' on my right arm when i was 17. got an idea for a new one, tribute to a friend that hung himself almost 2yrs ago
just gotta find someone to do it, (and money )

Some girl in Nelson my wife tattooed, the girl was about to go to England to study music. Fuk that would have hurt!

Wow, intense. But wouldn't tattoos on the palm of your hands like that just sort of rub off as your skin is shed a lot quicker in that area? This is something I think I read somewhere..

thanks for the pics sir

I don't think I'll ever get a tattoo. I hope that I keep changing my mind about everything as I go through life, so I think I'll end up deciding my tattoo sucks eventually

same here...
I've heard people in their 40's saying "I wish I'd never "past participle of get" that tattoo 20 years ago" but I've never heard one saying "I wish I'd "past participle of get" a tattoo 20 years ago".

My experience has been that there is little middle ground. Most people either love or hate tats and can be feral in expressing that opinion.

[shinenz]

I got my first tat at 15, from a John Whitehead, who is still about I believe. I live with no regret, and am still getting inked, most weeks actually. My dad had his first tat at 17, my wife just added to his collection of art last month, my mum also has been steadily adding to her ink. My auntie got her first tat at 60. We have had many aged clients come to our studio, all over 60 to get ink, yer their skin is old and saggy, but the tats look find once completed. If you live with a belief structure that you may "regret" decisions made, then that doesn't sound like much fun at all. You ether like em or ya don't, but I do get sick of the individuals who preach "regret" you won't like them when your old etc, it's a myth!

Well when ya that old, you won't even give a fuk, cause if you got someone changing your arse, last thing you'll be worried about is some ink in ya skin.....

That would be getting old disgracefully, and how I can't wait, hopefully I have all my faculties at 90, and still getting ink
