I'm old enough to have some bad tattoos . Also I always say you can't trust someone who doesn't have at least one bad tattoo. (if they have tattoos)

 

[LOCOPELAND]

Yeah I've got some Tia Carrera albums. Good stuff.

I've got a pretty decent sized Mjolnir on my right upper arm. Going to turn that into a 1/4 sleeve pretty soon, probably with some dark greys and blues for a lightning storm landscape.

Also have a phoenix on my rib cage with celtic knotting in the wings that took 16 hours.

Both were done by one of my good friends from high school. I trusted him to ink me when he was just starting out in his mom's den and he did a fantastic job. Now he's got his own studio and runs a very successful ink shop with a good dude who taught him how to ink.

eyeballkid is also a tattoo artist and does incredible art work!

Awesome. My buddy has been doing tattoos out of his apartment for years and just started working in a shop earlier this week for the first time. He does some really great work. He did this Cthulhu vs. Wendigo one on my left shoulder a few months ago that just rules. It's amazing that he didn't get into a shop earlier with the quality he does. We're all pretty proud of him over here.

Latest board setup. DS-1 is gonna be swapped out for a phase 90. Got practice tonight with a fill in drummer. We have a show coming up on the 28th. Board isn't as neat as I usually like to get it but something's might be getting changed around.

 

[eyeballkid]

aw shucks..

my bad tattoo is my favorite.

 

[Lazarus.Bird]

I'm big into celtic/pagan/nordic mythology so I've been thinking of also doing Odin's spear on my left arm to kind of match my right arm.

This pic is from 5 years ago after I had just got it done, so it is much more faded looking like a part of my real skin now.

And thinking of doing Gungnir on the other arm.

I realize just about anyone in a pagan metal band has a hammer of thor tattoo, but I don't really give a ****. It's what I like.

I've also been considering getting somewhat of a "joke" tattoo, like a Venture Bros character/reference or a Sgt. Floyd Pepper tattoo (bassist from the Muppets band Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem(.

 

[eukatheude]

My parents dig Om, specially my mum, dad not so much, but he loved Hielo Negro and Mainhorse.

I'm having a hard time with these arabian scales, they don't really fit in the music we already have and any new stuff sounds lika an Om rip-off :/ , but we're kinda bored of pentatonics

You guys throw in different scales sometimes or just pentatonics all the time?

In a two piece band too?
I mostly use pentatonics, though i often like to improvise out of them ie. "playing random stuff that sometimes happens to sound good". Besides we're half stoner rock half noise, so when i feel like it i just start stratching my strings and messing with effects.

 

[LOCOPELAND]

Just curious...what do you consider a bad tattoo? I've got some silly ones, but I wouldn't consider them bad.

Tramp stamp.

 

[Lazarus.Bird]

Tramp stamp.

Hahaha.

Btw another band I've been listening to a lot is Wo Fat. Those guys are awesome.

 

[LOCOPELAND]

lol I see.

Everytime I mention Matt Pike to my wife, she always says, "Is he the one with the tramp stamp?" just to give me ****.

 

[eyeballkid]

this is my "bad" one, but I love it

 

[twhitedc]

I've got a Leg-foot - sleeve and half my arm done.... getting tattooed stopped being a financial priority, but I've been lacklusterly looking for someone to trade with.

 

[Corey Y]

I've got a few tattoos. I would say a lot, but these days I see people with full sleeves, legs, hand and neck tattoos on the regular...so not that many really. I never had the clarity of vision to have big connected works of art, I just have a bunch up my right arm, one on my upper back and most of my chest. Lots of random stuff, some personal, some goofy. I have a severed zombie hand wielding a broken rootbeer bottle, Black Flag bars, lots of corny old sailor style and pinup type stuff. I haven't gotten a new tattoo in a long time though, not really high on my financial priority list and I just don't care about it anymore. My wife has some serious artistic tattoos on her legs. She has a big coi fish on one thigh and on the other side a peacock stretching from her thigh to her ribs, that a guy did basically freehand, looks almost like a painting.

 

[eyeballkid]

but this is the one my mom says is "bad"

 

[demon666]

Hahaha.

Yeah Wo Fat kills it.

 

[LOCOPELAND]

but this is the one my mom says is "bad"

haha that's awesome

 

[demon666]

Oh yeah face tattoos are bad too. I mean c'mon really?

 

[OldCrow]

if you want atmospheric, you will wave bye bye to pentatonics haha.

Oh I know, it's a running joke with is and this other band, we call ourselves rock for retards
