Rarely, would I mock someone’s tattoo.
Really?
Well, I would. The other day, I had a conversation with a friend about music-related tattoos and the pictures we came across were incredible. She had found pictures of a guy completely covered in Death Cab For Cutie lyrics (why oh why oh why) and I was reminded of a Scotsman who had a singing Liam Gallagher on his arm (sadly I didn’t have my camera when I met him).
There are some bands I consider timeless enough to get a tattoo associated with them. Sure getting “MOZ” in Old English alongside your arm may be a bit too drastic, but you get the picture. With some band tattoos, I simply wonder “what compelled you to do this?”
May I offer you a 90s era Smashing Pumpkins logo? At least it doesn’t say “Zwan 4eva.”
What if you were in bed with someone and you found this Hanson tattoo? I feel like I’m playing Devil’s Advocate.
For those of you who want to put a little Spice World in your life:
If you also grimaced at the thought of Death Cab lyrics on you, wait until you see some Korn lyrics.
Here’s the kicker. I had a very “Gordon Ramsay” reaction and shouted at my screen when I saw this one:
And for comparison, the original pic of Britney Spears (as requested):
I feel like I need to go to a museum and look at art now. My eyes hurt.
COOL! Site! I enjoyed your thoughts.
Have a great week. Feel free to drop by my site.

at least the smashing pumpkins tattoo isn’t a shitty looking logo. its the mona lisa compared to the britney one!
I totally agree with you, Tina. I wouldn’t be freaked out if I saw the SP tattoo on someone. I was actually trying to find Zwan tattoos or better yet, one of Billy Corgan gigantic head. That would be terrifying.
Britney’s head is the worst though. I don’t even know where to begin with that one!
i have the red siamese heart on the inside of my left wrist. feels great 2 know theres others out there that love the punks as much as me!
SMASHING PUMPKINS RULE THE WORLD!!!!
