I am planning on getting a tattoo soon and was considering on getting a lil' tribute to one of my favorite bands. I was just wonderin if anyone had any suggestions, be it lyrics or a symbol of some sort. I have Bjorks silhouette on my right foot so I guess Im going for a musical theme
I cant think of any symbols, but I like the lyrics from "All Over The World" :
all my thoughts
all i am are my thoughts
all my thoughts
i am all what i'm taught
"Hang Wire"
Every morning and every day
Ill bossanova with ya
(can anyone tell me what this means? This lyric puts a big fat smile on my face but Im just hoping theres not some dark messagethat im missing cuz I tend to do that. Same for the All Over The World lyric that I like....)
and from TOTY
"(I want to live on an) Abstract Plain"
I've had it with this town
I never saw those shifting skies
I never saw the ground
Or the sunset rise
I want to live on an abstract plane
or
(I could sit on the roof
On top of that abstract house
See my abstract view)
An abstract mouse
I want to live on an abstract plane
These are just ideas Ive been playing around with for like the last...20 minutes and who knows if anything will materialize from it but Id love to hear some suggestions

Yeah, hurt pretty bad. The pain wasnt nearly as bad as it was when I got the one on my foot, but it still wasnt what id call "pleasant" |

the word pixies with the letters 3-d and metallic and on the ends of pins
they're all at different angles. i thought it was an album cover but i can't figure out which one. it is on the beginning of the pixies dvd. does anybody know what i mean? |

I got the Doolittle monkey on my lower back (no ones made the monkey on the back joke yet, and heres hopin it doesnt start). I dont have any pics yet but its very well done, took about 40 minutes, about 2-3 inches squared in size. So far the response has been OK, though none of my friends are Pixies fans so lets assume they dont know shit. |

I just showed my flying P tattoo to another Pixies fan tonight. I'm pleased with that one, but am considering getting the "PIXIES" with the little cross sectioned oval around it from the Doolittle cover. I've thought about the monkey or the Bossanova planet or the hairy back guy, but I'd have to have the exact likeness of it, which can be quite hard to replicate, and I'd have to get a very, very, very good tattoo artist.
The Flying P is on my left ankle. I am considering putting the little guy with the spear from the first Frank Black & The Catholics guy on my right one. Possibly several of them all linked together wrapping around my ankle. That's highest on my list of future tattoes. Aside of a TMBG and one for my band. |

That might work, so long as you don't lose it to a whore with disease.

Yes it was obvious, probably why nobody said it.
Some people who come/came here have had that done.

seriously, I think "One Tame Cookie" would be cool...or a cookie with "tame" written on it... |

Just be sure to keep the monkey off your back.

ok...how about a tattoo of the back of a hairy monkey on the back of a hairy guy (on your back--only if it's hairy)? With different colored backhair, of course, to distinguish the hair of the monkey, of the hairy-backed guy and your hairy back.

Don't apologise, keep it going.
Fake monkey on your hair perhaps?

I kinda like the P logo idea but Id prefer something with a little more to look at. I ilke the Doolittle monkey and the Trompe Le Monde rocket (or any one of those lil space ship thingamajiggers in the album sleeve), Theres also a cool, negative-like image in the surfer rosa cover of the women dancing (the no-breast one. im fine with the breasts, but id feel like a perv). The hairy back man has become the front runner........ |

i have the cover of doolittle on my right arm. my brother has an eiffel tower rocket on his. just look through the album sleeves- there are some cool little drawings in there.
i'd really like to get something from the pistolero artwork. check it out, because there is some cool silhouette stuff in there. "if you move i shoots" type stuff.
