Image secret reveal

Sign in to disble this ad
I don't know if this is widely known. A buddy of mine got a touring gig with a rock band that has a hard biker type image. The problem was he did not have any tatoos like the other members and was reluctant to get any done He was getting the Hennas for a while and eventually solved it with this

I think these would be cool for a "every blue moon" type use but theyre very douche-esque for someone trying to pose as havign a full sleeve. People work on sleeves for years.

Useful for a Halloween costume, I suppose.

Oh please. Those who can't take the heat should stay off the stage. Myself, I hardly notice the heat when I'm actually playing. More after or between songs. I'm sure I've seen people do it in leather jackets before, too.

I get hot enough in a t-shirt and shorts, let alone with my leather jacket on. I'd rather be playing that sweating. Seen people doing it before too, they do tend to fall into douche category
