Band or song tattoo(s)?

[XOXO]

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.

Ian Curtis smiling would be funny.

Since he didn't smile. bad joke.

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.

I gots a Cory Branan tattoo not too long ago and cant remember if I posted her on here. I cant find a picture anywhere, but will post when I have it.

Its not going anywhere.

DEFTONES! I still always toy with getting a deftones tattoo, haven't been able to settle on anything yet and am worried I'm getting too old hahaaa.

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.

Great choice. Ive been thinking of getting a Jameson bottle with pig tails and blonde hair with "Drinkin' Women, Chasin' Whiskey" around it.

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.

Jason McAfee did this (punk) Rock of Ages:

Oh that is spectacular. Made my morning.

I definitely toss around getting a Lucero tattoo more often than I should...

[Tight-Lines]

Just do it.

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.

[Jack]

Just do it.

Savin up for my ribs, but immediately after i think i need a 'fist full of tears'

[Tight-Lines]

If you can find some thread in the funny stuff area that has my drunken drawing of a tattoo idea for Fist full of tears I suggest you get that somewhere on you.

The Doors are one of my favorite bands.. Have a few different Jim Morrison biographies and all his poetry books.. You should post a picture if you have one.

You're lucky I'm super neurotic and keep shit forever like a god damn hoarder.

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.

i know more than one person who has a "nobody's darlin'" tattoo.

[Petri Aspvik]

Too bad I really don't like Black Flag that much to get the logo tattooed :p

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.

[posterboy7596]

Here's the lizard tattoo I mentioned before. Not a great picture, but you get the idea.

Always wanted to do a heart full of snakes one, too.. 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. ( @dcostello)
