What tattoo to get next?

Hi there,

I wanna get a tat that reflects my interest in music and/or all things audio. Probably get it done my left shoulder. I have several ideas already in mind..

- Cover of Elton John's "Live in Australia"
- Cover of Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms"
- Cover of Supertramp's "Even in the Quietest Moments"
- a Saxaphone
- An Oracle Delphi Mark V turntable (any help pointing me to pics on the web I can grab would be appreciated, didn't have much luck so far).

Anything else come to mind folks? Thanks, Jeff

Jeff- get a tattoo of an XLR interconnetct cable and run it from your belly button to your ____!

Reminds me of the woman who had a tattoo of John Lennon on one thigh and Paul McCartney on the other thigh. When she showed it to her friend, he didn't recognize either Beatle, but thought the one in the middle with the bad breath had to be Willie Nelson!

second the recommendation of Kurt_tank above of "I suggest either the Pink Floyd cover to Dark Side of the Moon. (That would be impressive.

Jeff,

I'm with Elizabeth on this one, the first thing I thought of was a bar of sheet music.....it’ll look cool, and not be so blatantly obvious to the casual observer...

One other suggestion…I always loved the Crass logo…

FWIW One of the coolest tats I ever saw was a skinhead who had various areas of his arms and legs and shoulders tattooed with mechanical systems showing through ripped off flesh, and on the side of his head a small trap door that was opened and inside where little circuit boards! If you live in the tri state area, phots of him are in Shotzy’s tattoo book (Shotzy is like the god of tattoo’s…runs/publishes tattoo magazine, is the guy every talk show tries to get for there shows on ink….he does charge $350/hour and that was several years ago….likely more now and is located on Rte 23 in Wayne, NJ…my home town!!) but undoubtedly does the best work I’ve ever seen…. Second best I would give to Brad (owner of Iron Age Tattoo and Piercing in St Louis…he did one of my best friends arms for free as long as he would go to all the tat shows, which he won ALL he attended! (Grudge was a skinhead and he had the alien (yes, from the movie) tattooed on his arm climbing up to his next, shredding flesh along the way…very violent, but with so much detail it was scary!)

OK, just to clarify…no I’m not nor was I ever a skinhead….was very big into Punk in the 80’s though…..and had many SH friends…
