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

Hey guys,

This is turning into a fun thread. I already have a tattoo on my right shoulder, it's a very tasteful (and simple) flag fluttering in the wind. Shoulders and backs are great places to get some artwork done; tats are something you do for yourself and I like the fact that 99% of the time I'm the only one who even knows I have a tat. Dark Side of the Moon is a novel idea, I may consider that one as well but my only concern is becoming a total jazz or classical nut in my later years and wondering why I have a rock album tattooed on me. I'd love to get a turntable done, any ideas where I can find some good pics of an Oracle Delphi V? Any other novel ideas? Cheers, Jeff
We're all interested in music and the gear that makes it come to life, asking your opinion as to what musical/audiophile tat to consider seems appropriate to me. I also have a kinship with a lot of folks on the 'Gon, asking friends isn't a bad idea. It's a rest-of-your-life decision so I want to make sure I get the right tat done. Art for art's sake? Yeah! Best, Jeff
Elizabeth had a good idea; I've been looking hard for some sheet music to download on the 'net, seems you have to buy the stuff and wait for delivery. I'm thinking of getting the sax intro to "Your Latest Trick" by Dire Straits. Can anyone point me to a site where I can grab the sheet music gratis?

Then under the sheet music a few words in Chinese: 它是所有关于音乐

Translated in English: "It's all about the music:

Jsonic, if I got elephant ears I really doubt the "trunk" would come even close to scale *L*

Thanks everyone!

Amusing thread, it went from "why would you? don't do it!" to some interesting ideas. In the end I settled on the album cover from "Even in the Quietest Moments". It took the artist over three hours to do it, he pointed ot most artists wouldn't attempt something of this detail unless it was done on a bigger scale (e.g. your entire back). The discomfort was well worth it, he did an outstanding job. It's interesting the reaction from some people.. either "why did you get a piano tattooed on your shoulder?" or "does it wash off?" to.. "cool! Supertramp, right?" Enough ink for me, I have no aspirations of looking like Tommy Lee. Best, Jeff
