does anyone here have or met anyone with an elbow related tattoo?
I myself just have one tiny tattoo simply of a musical note on my wrist.I know it's not for everyone but i was just curious if anyone had cemented their love for this almighty band with some ink? Very Happy

An old school friend of mine has the Dream Theater logo on the back of his foot/ankle... I was like o_O

Elbow don't really have any logos or symbols as such, do they? They're more about feelings than images. Let's see... maybe the 'elbow' writing on Asleep in the Back and Cast of Thousands, that's mildly iconic. Or a love heart with 'Guy' written in it, lol!

I don't do tattoos or piercings, not for me!

indeed they don't have any logos..but for me if i was going to get a band tattoo it wouldn't be as obvious as a logo,i'd rather get something personal to me like a lyric from my favourite song or an image associated with a song/album/sentiment.
maybe i should get a guy love heart tattoo..not sure what my boyfriend would have to say about it ! Very Happy

You don't actually mean the SOLE of your foot though, do you?

Isn't there a story somewhere of someone getting the lyrics to Switching Off tatooed on their back?

Seems like a nice enough idea, might be a pain to read when they get older though.

I don't think that a tattoo would suit me.
The only sentence I would tattoo me is "keep staring like you've never seen the stars". That means so much to me.
But I think I'll never do it! Well at least I have a signature with it! Smile

I'd definitely get lyrics rather than just the word elbow or a logo. Maybe:
'Let
the
sun
inside'

down the right-hand side of my ribs. Simply because I think that is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and those lyrics mean alot to me because of the experiences I've had, and the amazing friends I've made along the way.
=]
I love that about elbow; how you can relate to it and how personal it feels.

Has no-one already got one then?
