Kind of similar to getting lyrics tattooed I think - am slightly worried about the milkshake duck effect, like what if you get something inked and the artist turns out to be a Ryan Adams or something

Go with non-problematic artists who have split :+1: The only lyric tat I can think of I’d like is NIGHT MUST FALL from Talking Heads’ The Great Curve. Great band, but they’re never getting back together for a dodgy reunion album

I wish this was mine.

That’s brilliant.

I never understand that caption on pictures of anchors…the single most important function of the anchor is to sink. IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE.

Got a Ryan Adams (Cardinals neon rose logo) one done in 2005 - back when I thought that an album like Ashes and Fire would be the worst case scenario… :unamused:

Whenever anyone asks me about it now it’s just a rose because I like roses ok

But they let you down constantly, that’s kinda their whole thing

Rizzo wouldn’t have let you down

Very seriously thinking about getting a tattoo that says ā€œWhat Would Paddington Do?ā€ in a place which would leave enough space for me to add a picture of my fave bear somewhere down the line.

Got some temporary tattoos printed with my approximate design to try it out in different sizes and places, just waiting for the weather to drop 10° so I don’t sweat it off instantly.

Quite excited, though already got a tonne of rubbish from my family about it :frowning:

Not sure how old you are but I got my first tattoo in my early 30s and didn’t dare tell my parents! They just kind of roll their eyes about it now. I don’t particularly like having mine on full display so it’s rarely seen anyway. There’s few places that can’t be covered if ever needed so they really have nothing to give you shit about.

Second one booked in for Saturday. Hoping it cools down considerably by then.

I know, just it is really grating and demoralising having your choices repeatedly questioned, judged and looked down on :frowning: (also currently living with family means that I don’t get away from it at all)

And also @bunique good luck with your second tattoo :+1:

Love going on holiday and checking out people’s tats. There’s a guy here with a chest tattoo of Bruce Springsteen!

Cheers - it’s on my foot. I’m preparing to cry like a baby.

Did my first temporary try, sizing and orientation are a little out and it isn’t quite properly as round as it should be, but I am still really keen on it? Tried it in the position @sarahispi suggested and I think that will be the winner - easier to cover with short sleeves than lower arm if I don’t want it out.
