Why do people tattoo band names/logos on them?




Gardenfoot


I never understood it... I've seen guys with tattoos of Limp Bisket, Ja Rule, Korn, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Danzig, etc. (except for one guy that tattoo looked like the Danzig CD, but he only used the fonts for the design to pay homage to his pagan god.)

What are they a walking billboard for the band? It looks really stupid.

Also really stupid...
Sports teams
MMA fighters..

Not so stupid is when it has significance.



Answer
It depends what band you get tattooed and why, man. Led Zeppelin changed my life while listening to "The Ocean," just before I drove for the first time. It felt like I actually tasted freedom, and that one experience brought on my love of rock and roll. The same type of thing might have happened to someone else and they wanted to get it as a tattoo. That's one thing, but to have a ****** band like Limp Bizkit, Ja Rule, or KoRn on yourself is just plain tacky, man. Don't get me wrong, there are other EXCELLENT bands besides Zeppelin, but Limb Bizkit definitely isn't one of them. I don't have any tatoos, but if I did ever get one, I'm sure the ZoSo (and probably the other symbols) would be involved, because Jimmy Page IS the reason I play guitar, although there are others, like Hendrix and Frusciante who have inspired me equally, Pagey was the reason I got into it. That changed my life for good, man.

I see where you're coming from though, man. I wouldn't understand why anyone would actually get the name of a band in that particular font tattooed, but to incorporate a particular image, like the lady on the front of the first Black Sabbath album cover, or the Led Zeppelin runes, or something like that into a tattoo is something entirely different. One might get a screaming butterfly (not sure how to illustrate that, lol) in order to commemorate a defining lyric of an important song, "When the music's Over," for instance... or something like that. Anything with artistic merit is able to be accepted as a tatoo as far as I'm concerned, but if you have a ******* KISS tattoo or something, just go kill yourself... you know what I mean [sellouts].

Which lower back tattoo design is more sexy to you?

I kno a lot of people think lower back tattoos are considered "tramp stamps" or means she's a slut ect.. but I really don't care cuz it's for my man's eyes only. Just choose which tattoo design you think is sexier & explain. Thankss : )
The other is a heart w/ a crown on top
w/ a skull on each side lookin down



Answer
Go with the heart and crown as I think it'll look great!

I have a lower back tat myself, a butterfly (surprise, surprise) which I got in University years ago. Didn't really care what others thought about it and I still love it! And no, I'm not a tramp as my fiancée thinks it looks pretty hot on me.

I also have five other tats that followed that first one and may go for my seventh soon.....leaning towards either a garter tat on my right leg or a bow on each of my hamstrings.

Best of luck and I think it'll look fabulous!
