Rolling Stones Tattoos (Read 1,909 times)

Cherokee I'm new!! Offline Rocks Off Rules You Bastards Posts: 2 San Diego, Ca Gender:	Rolling Stones Tattoos May 19^th, 2008 at 1:19am I'm thinking about getting a Rolling Stones tattoo, but I can't think of what to get. Does anyone have any cool ideas, or does anyone have one they'd like to share so I could get some ideas?

if i were to decide to make the plunge i would do this one sans rolling stones words. just the picture would work for me.

And maybe a spiked Voodoo one to completemtn it. One on each ass cheek!

I do believe our very own Mel Belli has a tattoo of this guy

<------------------------

which i think is very cool - the tounge is too obvious and almost a cliche - the exile dude (or pako as he's known) is not quite so obvious and only relatively serious fans would recognize it - a bit elitist/obscurantist i know but the cool comes with the esotericality

hey i'm sorry i havent' meant to denigrate anybody or their tatts calling the tounge a cliche - but i say that it has become so - it has been overworked - so much so that the logo now in a way just repesents itself - the fact that it is a reference to or an indication of being a fan of the band is not always the case now. witness 14 year old girls in shopping malls with a tounge t - shirt but no idea who charlie watts is really?

-

in a way it shows how powerful the image it is but its meaning has changed some how in terms of the general population
