XOXO Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I have a fox holding a dead goose in his mouth with a banner underneath saying "born to run". I love Bruce Springsteen. The story behind the tattoo is that there is an old nursery rhyme which is called "fox, you've stolen the goose". The fox has stolen a goose from a farmer and now he has to watch his back because a hunter is out to get and shoot him. I thought that "born to run" fit perfectly. I also have an owl sitting on pocket watch and underneath are the words "how soon is now?" (The Smiths). I have two The Gaslight Anthem-tattoos ("The 59 sound"-wrapped around an old microphone and a ship with a "Great Expecations"-banner) and two tattoos incorporating lyrics of two different German artist. One day I want to get a traditional Morrissey-head and a Joy Division-tattoo. Yup, I'm definitely into music.

Tight-Lines Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Ian Curtis smiling would be funny.

Guest deadmeadow88 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I have a Deftones themed piece on my neck. I'd like to add to it one day.. a tribute to Chi Cheng in the same area would be nice. I don't think I'd ever get another band-related tatt, this one was my first tattoo ever and a very big deal to me.

gougetheeyes Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Got this today at Sacred. The chick is from the X-Files episode where the Tattoo is controlling the dudes mind and making him kill people. The words "All Sewn Up" is a Lucero lyric. Im all Sewn Up with bad tattoos. Just saw this again, awesome. Pretty sure I'll get something with NIGHTS LIKE THESE at some point.

Hunter Morrow Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I have been thinking of getting a tattoo related to music. Lots of bands, punk bands in particular have logos that would suited towards a tattoo. For instance, I was thinking of doing some sort of tongue-in-cheek Rock of Ages thing with the snakes on the Crass logo. Just making it symmetrical and having much better detail on it. Or just going real basic on it, since it is such a striking design. Maybe just throwing red, white and blue in it? Another band that I thought would neat is Fear. It is sort of a messed around with Budweiser eagle with the eagle clutching the logo, two Fs touching surrounded by wreaths. It seems to me militaristic and was meant to jokingly invoke comparisons to German Eagles and the Eagle holding a Fasces symbol. hogg and Gregor 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/20-band-or-song-tattoos/?page=5#findComment-33788 Share on other sites More sharing options...

posterboy7596 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I was going to get a picture of it up here before I mentioned this, but I suck at pictures so maybe I will later. Anyhow... I've got a Jim Morrison thing on me. It's a lovely green lizard with a crown. I have more people ask me why I have a lizard with a crown than make the lizard king connection. Oddly though, I'm not a huge Doors fan, it just seemed like a cool idea.

I think there are a lot of people out there who got Deftones related tattoos on their first go. I'm one. #1 dumb thing I ever did - get a Deftones tattoo. #2 dumb thing I ever did - cover up my Deftones tattoo. gougetheeyes 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/20-band-or-song-tattoos/?page=5#findComment-33977 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should post a picture if you have one. I dont have any Doors stuff but had an obsession with him for a few years. My buddy who passed away gave me a photo of his grave that he took not too long before he died. It says "Jim, you are the best!" It totally sticks out from all the random hardcore show posters and movie posters in my apartment but I love it to death. Ill post a picture when I get home.

thebadnewshughes Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Devo by Sleepy Dave @ Anthem in Gainesville, FL Misfits "Die Die My Darling" tattoo by some guy named Carl, 1987-ish. At least four years too late to be getting a Misfits tattoo, yet somehow a tattoo that is older than the majority of the band's fans, go figure. gougetheeyes, spookysproul and Jack 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/20-band-or-song-tattoos/?page=5#findComment-34154 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we just start a Lucero tattoo thread and then all go get em if we don't have em yet? I am 100% serious. And 90% drunk.
