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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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!

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