i thought i would start a thread on our tattoos! if people where interesting in talking about tattoo ideas they have or post pics for us of there tats, i work in a video store there is a customer who has both his arms sleeved with iron maiden tattoos! its awesome! i figured i would post mine and see what people think and have. my 3 tattoos

Hypocrisy


Graveland


Bathory (this one was modded a bit by my tattoist the original looked blotchy and dodgy in my opinion)

I don't have any, and I have no desire to attain any, but I think I saw a tattoo of the Opeth "O" once.

Quick Google search shows there are in fact many with this awesome looking tat.

My Type O Negative tats

i definitely want the death logo tattoo sometime in the future. if i ever get a tattoo that is...

that would be awesome! my mate got the athiest logo across the top of his back! it looked awesome!

cool tats guys! that opeth one looks cool (although im not an opeth fan)

I saw a dude with that tattoo once. Even bigger too. It looked awesome.

that dude from mastodon [the one who looks like a ginger pirate] has a tattoo on his face

So? Even Mike Tyson has a face tat.

I'll prolly end up getting the Type O (-)

After hearing Aeternam's Ouroboros, I researched it and found it to be a symbol that I actually heavily agreed with, so I now have the symbol tattooed around my arm, a snake circling around and eating it's tale. While not Metal exactly, it started from a Metal song.

re Ouroboros, Live At The Aragon album by Mastodon looks like it has those, that would make a cool armband.

and that guy from the hangover 2 ha ha

haha but i think ed helms had to remove that tattoo after tyson told him to

I really like the Graveland and Type O tattoos above. Nice work fellas!

thanks dude yeah the graveland one worked out well although it needs a touch up, i have an idea for a horror movie sleeve at the moment but not to sure how to set it out, but i was thinking having pinhead , leatherface, freddy, and jason on it.

I would love to get this someday:

It's just a really cool, kind of abstract design.

Somebody ought to get a tattoo of the Judas Priest cross, with each of the prongs (think that's what their called) having a different metal mascot-One with Eddie, one with Vic Rattlehead, and one with Chaly. Would be pretty cool. Only problem is everybody would mistake Chaly for the Avenged Sevenfold mascot.

Actually I think it was the guy who originally designed it. There's a photo of the guy standing next to Mike Tyson with it somewhere.

Late!

yeah i want this thread to be more specificly for metal tattoos logos, and album artwork, metal references, not just everyones random ink

My Iron Maiden tattoo, that I got in the Spring:

I got the lettering done previously by a different artist. I'm going to get it touched up by the same guy who did my shin piece eventually.

Something tells me you haven't seen many pics of Electric Wizards (now) former bassist:


Also those Type O Negative tats are fucking aweeeesssooommmee

what happens if you ever stop liking the band...? I was thinking of getting some kind of Blind Guardian symbol on me, but what happens when I don't like the band anymore? It almost seems like getting a tattoo of your girlfriend's name or something

I know a dude who has a Bal Sagoth on his head! I respect that, it's memories and commitment.

Tony being sarcastic? This is new.

Thanks... my arm is twisted funny in that pic which makes the (-) symbol look all kinds of fuct up lol

Nice work there. Very cool tat.

I once imagined to make an Opeth logo, but I saw it is a bit overused among metalheads. I'd put the Swallow the Sun symbol instead (Circle + Moth)

Sick tats, man. Especially the Graveland one.

Currently tat-free atm, but I'm saving up to get this one on my left shoulder. Not including the logo and title.

This guy? Seems like a horrible idea, but at least he'll look really cool standing in the unemployment line.

Sorry. In this case, nice.

i think if i ever stopped liking the band, the tattoos would remind me of my youth and how much i loved metal (probably different for everyone)

So how pretentious to get a tattoo of your own band's logo?

What if you get kicked out of the band?

only if your the main member of the band.

This is our own dear friend KC_Slaanesh, you know. Nice guy with a good job.

Head tats can be hidden by growing your hair out! Clever.

aaw man shit, i had a reference to him [taz] in the post but thought i'd 'save' it to mention later [so removed it] ha ha that's a seriously tattooed bassist aye

Haha I was going to try and go 1 tattoo thread without posting mine. Yeah really I've been able to stay steadily employed, believe it or not, something I'm sure many of my detractors would be unable to say.

Also that Iron Maiden leg piece is legit as fuck!

Been wanting the subzero logo found in Type O Negative's logo for some years now.. Just need to pull myself together and get the money.

My tat. Based on Burzums "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss". More conceptually than close rendering.
