Should I get a Gibson tattoo?

[stevezapp]

I'm thinking of getting the Gibson logo tattooed on my inner wrist (see crude pic below). I have Zeppelin lyrics on my other forearm (not in the same position - longways), so I think it's be a nice balance.

 

Whadda ya think? Should I?

No, get a guitar pic. I actually work with a guy named Gibson. Not everyone knows it is a guitar.

Guitar pic; as in picture or plectrum?

I meant as in an actual guitar, but a pic (plectrum) with the Gibson logo on it might fix the problem I mentioned in my last post. Might be cool.

If you love it, get it!!! Forget what Homz says! If I'd asked him first, I probably wouldn't have my ankle tat with the Zeppelin stuff. (But he's kind of a sissy when it comes to tats).

Just looking for an example and came across this. Awesome.

 

 

 

I'd just be worried that it came out sucky if I got a pic of the guitar itself -

Hehe.

 

Sissy

 

What Zeppelin stuff do you have around your ankle?

[wicked1]

And how many do I have??? And who actually plans on getting more......?

Here are pics of wicked1's ankle tat and my calf tat.

Hehe.

 

Sissy ;)

The front of my leg (over my foot) is the Swan Song logo. Then on the other 3 sides (so it makes an anklet) are 3 of the 4 logos from Zep 4. I don't have the 3-ring logo that is John Bonham's. Homz is busy posting a pic of it. I try to always pick something that represents something to me and this was my way of honoring my rock-n-roll heart. :)

It honors your "Gibson Loyalty", but someday you won't want it there anymore.

Very nice ;)

 

I have: -

 

'There's a feeling I get when I look to the west

and my spirit is crying for leaving'

 

in Zeppelin font going down my inner forearm.

 

I'd love to show you guys, but I don't want anyone coming on here and copying it. I like the fact that no one else in the world (probably) has the same tattoo in the same place.

Both good points, but i'm sure if that's the case in 30 years, there'll be an easy way of removing tattoos.

I know what you mean about keeping yours unique! I always try to think of something that will be unique to me when I'm considering one. I've never gone in and just picked some flash off the wall. The most generic one I have left is my very first one and I still think it's hilarious, so I keep it. (A small tat on my hip that says "Ride Free").

Spot on.

 

The only generic one I have is a Chelsea FC crest on my arm, and that was because I love love loooove 'em.

 

 

I'm gonna do it.

 

 

I'll go down next Saturday. Besides, the other half wants a new one as well. Job lot.

My opinion: If you're a big fan of Sony or Burger King, why not get their corporate logos tattooed on you as well?

A Spearmint Rhino tattoo... Now there's an idea ;)

I know you're being sarcastic, but why NOT? If it's something you identify with and you like your body art, then why not make it permanent?

 

BTW, I can't vote because Homz voted and we share an IP address. Otherwise, I'd give you a YES, stevezapp.

[RichCI]

I was being only partially sarcastic. I don't have a lot of room to speak on this subject since I don't have any tattoos but I think putting some company's name on you is not original at all. Okay, it's Gibson which is pretty cool in a Jack Daniels, rock and roll kind of way but it's still a corporate brand.

Thanks Wicked.

 

At least one person thinks it's a good idea!

I see what you're saying, but Gibson IS rock and roll. It's not as bad as an Apple tattoo, for example ;)

 

[wicked1]

I gotcha, Rich. It's not something I would do (though, I doubt anyone has gotten a Baldwin tat), but if he's thought about it for a while and still likes the idea....well, why not? Then again, I am the first one to rag on the sorority girls who got stupid tat just cause they thought it was what the "cool" girls do!

I do want to be one of the 'cool girls'.

Getting any tattoo is in the spirit of rebellion, so I suggest you do just the opposite of what the poll produces and give all us fuddy-duddys the finger on the way to the tattoo parlor.
