ROCKS OFF - The Rolling Stones Message Board

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?

i have always liked the tattoo you one with the sword myself. i think there is a rose or some type of flower on it too...not sure tho.

guy i followed stones with in 78 had a tongue tattooed below his belly button near the end of the tour. I hated pointing out to him that it was flipped backwards

The purple spiked tongue!

thats the one...looks to be a magnolia flower.
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.

I've never been very crazy about tattoos, but I always figured that, if I were to get one, it would have to be a classic tongue design. And maybe a spiked Voodoo one to completemtn it. One on each ass cheek! :aimama

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[font=Courier][/font]

"the tounge is too obvious and almost a cliche "

It's a logo...not a cliche....name recognition is the key to succesful marketing.

isn't a tattoo itself a cliche nowaydays..?

Here are the tatts I have.

I also have the 'cliche' tongue.

I had the keith tattoo done a couple of years ago. The guy who did was extremely talented.

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 :areyoufuckingserious-

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

Hey.

No offence taken here at all.
