Has anyone ever seen or had a Pixies related tattoo ? If so what were they ? I really want one but i can't think of anything that would look good enough to have on me forever. Their album sleeve artwork doesn't inspire me (not exactly tattoo material), any ideas ?

I would probably have it on my upper arm and was thinking of lyrics but they are all so good i could never choose.

I've met multiple girls over the years with "13" tatooed on their tit.

There was a thread a while back.....someone had posted pictures of his & his brothers Pixies-related tattoos...

One was of the Doolittle monkey with the number around him, and another was from Trompe Le Monde I believe. Do a search on the forum, or just dig around...you should be able to find the thread!

Been considering the words 'Hips Like Cinderella' on the bottom of my back for some time now, still not sure about it, and of course my non-pixie-fan friends havent got a clue hehehe. I think it could be quite cool, any thoughts?

Yeah i like the sound of 'hips like cinderella' a lot, especially where you are considering getting it. If only i was a girl.

Hmm i too wish i could meet a female Pixies fan, then we could be chained forever !

I have no idea what the Tame picture looks like 'cos i don't own the single. What is it ?

I really wish i could find something to inspire me.

bah! horrible!

I like the idea of the girls pixies tattoos. I would definitely get one like that, except for the fact that they're tattoos, and I'm not into that sort of thing.

Well the picture is inside the cd booklet for Doolittle...

Here is a copy of the picture that I found: http://quimby.gnus.org/4ad-pics/Pixies.Doolittle.postcard-1.jpg

Hip bone.... high heeled shoe... wait a minute... the Doolittle sleeve is like the original Frank Black pictionary. Well, my hat's off to Mr. Oliver, his are much more artistic than our pics. Though I did incorporate a moving .gif, so I'm not sweating it either.

I've been considering having 'give me white ground to run' tattooed somewhere, I also considered having 13 tattoed on my tit, but I figured that would only be funny for so long. And I didn't really want to whack my titties out in front of the tattooist. Still considering the first one though.

I got a tattoo of Kim Deal's face on my butt. Every time I take a dump, it looks like she's throwing up after a hersheys and heroin binge.

I'll have you know, Kim would appreciate such bawdy humour.

BTW are all those "13" tattoes Pixies related? I understood that having a thirteened mammary was some kind of gang identifier, and that's why Francis got the lyric from?

I always wanted to get the winged Pixies "p" that is on the inside cover of Trompe Le Monde. It is surrounded by a circle and has a lightning bolt through it. I always wanted it on my ankle but I don't think I would ever get a tattoo but if I did that's what I would get.

The 13th letter in the alphabet is 'M.' Mexicans have used this letter/number position to represent their heritage, La Raza. Also, when people get radical they usually form or are in groups of misbehavior (i.e., gangs.)

I believe that the number 13 is a Hell's Angels sign regarding the smoking of marijuana. If the person has the number 13 tattoed means that they are affiliated with the Angels and that they are a smoker, dealer etc... of marijuana. That is my understanding.

The Hips Like Cinderella tattoo i posted earlier which Sheamus has done doesnt look too bad, not the style I'm thinking of though, also im wondering was it done after I made the post? It would be interesting to find out if i inspired such a thing..... and what significance do the cherries have?

It isn't a picture of me, it's just a photo that a friend directed me to a while ago on one of those indie/emo kid flaunt yourself websites, www.onlyundiesclub.com. I doubt the cherries have any significance other than the girl thought they looked pretty.

Exactly the one I've been thinking of for myself - not on the tit though!

Fuck ye, I've wanted to get that for years, it looks great but I think I'd have to go to America or somewhere to get it done so people at home dont think I'm a psycho for getting a band logo tattoed on my back!
