Band related Tattoos

The missus recently got a band related tattoo, the tats nice, suits hers an all, but what if she doesn't like the band in 5, 10 years time.She more than likely will but you never know, anyway what do you think of band related tattoos?, what ones do you have?

I've a portait of Kurt Cobain on the left side of my chest, I like it and I wont regret it. His music brought me great relief through the years.

I like the one Flea from RHCP has of Hendrix.

"Starland Vocal Band?! They suck!".

It's not something I'd ever seriously consider. I mean imagine waking up with an Oasis tattoo on your arm (yes, I used to be mad into them...

).

ether · 17-01-2005 2:20pm

I wouldn't get one, maybe a design based on the band like the yellow submarine if you were mad into the beatles, but not anything directly related to a band like their name or logo.

well i know this guy who has the whole of his upper back in a metallica tattoo looks cool on a poster not to sure as a tattoo... the thing is if it means alot to her maybe if she doesn't like them in said years she will still like the memorie of who she was when she got it done...
by the by each to their own..

whos the band she got done???

Skellington · 17-01-2005 7:17pm

each tattoo tells a story. who you were, what you did, good/bad times...
even if she doesnt like the band or the tat in a few years, so what, it'll still be a reminder of good times gone by.

I'm Ether's 'missus', and the tatt that he's on about is my 'Korn' tattoo on my lower back, just above my butt.

I got it done for various personal reasons, and somehow, I can't see myself not liking them in 5/10 years time.

Bottle_of_Smoke · 29-01-2005 9:23pm

the therapy? little face thing might be a good one to get, or the HIM heartagram, just cos they're cool logo's. They're a bit cringe though I never would. If you were IN the band they'd be great idea

I have some band lyrics as part of one of my tattoos, and I'll probably get more by other bands at some point in the future. But I would never get a band name tattooed on me (well, except my own band, maybe) in the foreseeable future - my tastes change too much. And bands change too much as well! I'll stick with wearing the t-shirt, as far as actual names go. But any lyrics I get as tattoos are done for the personal meaning they have for me, not because of a particular love for a band.

Band tattoos scream 'future coverup'. I know ALOT of the tattoo artists in Dublin & they've done more cover-ups of band tattoos than they know what to do with.... whenever they're asked to do one, especially if it's some recent 'in-trend' band, they'll pretty much do their best to talk you out of it... but bottom line, your skin, your cash, you live with it.....

A mate of mine in the UK was friends with a band called "The Four Kinnells" ( say it out loud) now that would be a cool tat :P

I know a die hard iron madien fan this years and on his back hes a massive eddie, irons madines ascot he also has the symbol on his neck, looks cool not my thing tho.

Zombienosh · 02-02-2005 3:22pm

i wanna get a band symbol myself not the name of the band just a logo from an album cover, i dont think ill ever regret it, wheter i like the band or not in years to come i'll still remember the **** times the music helped me through.

Some serious stuff here!

ether · 02-02-2005 10:05pm

Especially that guy with one on the back of his head. Wonder what it'd be like to get a tat on your skull?

side is fine - back is nippy*

*this is my tattooist's euphemism for 'sheer ****ing agony'

That looks like it's a branding to me?

Creamy Goodness · 03-02-2005 12:53am

just thought it was red ink, well it looked like that when i saw it in the flesh so to speak

Ugly Dead Boy · 03-02-2005 3:57pm

I have NIRVANA tattooed on my left arm, I really can't see myself ever wanting to get rid of it, it represents a tie in life as much as the band!!! I have a good few tattoos at this stage and I'll probably get a whole lot more, skull and cross bones on my calf next week, too fast to live, too young to die!!!

Deadwing · 03-02-2005 4:01pm

I have kind of a band related tattoo. Its not a band name or logo, but some of the artwork from the sleeve of sigur ros' album agaetis byrjun, so i know it a band related thing but to most people who see it it just looks like a bizarre angel thing

MrJoeSoap · 03-02-2005 4:38pm

Kurt Cobain / Nirvana tattoos: *shudder*

Nothing wrong with Kurt Cobain/Nirvana, although I'd shoot myself if I had to wake up to Courtney Love each morning.

Shudder for you but could offend someone else.

senordingdong · 15-02-2005 8:12pm

I have considered a tattoo for a long time but I think originality is a huge obstacle.
My awl fella has one and he regrets it. He said that best way to describe it is as an accessory like a hat or jewellary or something, or like a particular hairstyle...it will look good at first but it won't always match everythign you wear/have.

I thought it was a great desciption to consider.

On the matter of band logos, it would have to be a really really cool logo, so that even if you stopped liking the band, it could just be passed off as a cool tattoo.
