The conversation about this one, every single time:
>"oh cool tattoo what's it mean?" >"it's an album cover" >"oh cool what album" >"...Eh, the band is called...godspeed you! black emperor" >"...oh. cool. whats the album called?" >(clearly feigning interest at this point but it would be rude not to ask) >"...lift your skinny fists like antennas to heaven" >"oh. cool. what is it like metal or something?"
Sometimes i'm tempted to just make up a one word band/album name to save the awkwardness of saying all 19 syllables out loud to somebody that realised they didn't actually care about what they asked after 4 syllables.
that sounds really.... not good, hand tattoos on your hands?
John Gomez
"it's a very experimental piece of music that goes from triumphant rock/metal crescendos to dark ambient drones to crazy sound collages" "damn that sounds nuts, I'll have to check it out sometime"
Was that so difficult OP? Or is it too embarrassing to speak your mind about the album you got fucking tattooed onto your skin?
Why’d you get the tattoo if you’re gonna be such a bitch about people asking. Get it on your back or some shit if you don’t want people seeing and asking you about an interesting looking tattoo.
Dylan Morris
absolutely perfect and the only correct choices.
Hudson Turner
why would you get a visible tattoo you narcissistic advert
I would never, under any circumstances, get a music tattoo.
You know that's really fucked up that "music fans" actually have tattoos like this.
You don't see movie buffs getting Star Wars tattoos, or trekkies getting tattoos of Admiral Ackbar.
Tattoos are supposed to have meaning.
When I was in the army, I didn't even think about getting a tattoo until near the end of my deployment. I've seen and done some horrible things in my life so when I came back to the states I did a lot of volunteer work which prompted me to get two tattoos of the words "angel" and "devil" in chinese on my left and right wrists so that I can remind myself that I am capable of doing both good and bad things.
10 years from now I'll look at my wrists and still have profound thoughts of what went through my mind the day I decided to get these tattoos but the idiots who got them because they like music will only see an outdated, obsolete band.
This is the weirdest shit I've seen in Yea Forums, congrats user
Jonathan Long
OP fuck it man. Once you get more tats then there won't be so much attention put on one tattoo.
Christian Ortiz
It sounds vaguely dark and pretentious which to a lot of people equates to sounding metal
Ian Lopez
Dude if you really got this tattoo you need to kill yourself ASAP
Jack Gutierrez
You'll just have to explain the acronym and waste more time
Ethan Moore

Aaron Ramirez

Josiah Johnson
I've got 3 lyric tattoos and I regret all of them just because I hate people asking me what they mean. It's just always so so awkward no matter how nonchalant I act about them
Samuel Moore
where the fuck do you see dreadlocks on this image. schizo poster strikes again.
Eli Wood
I have lettering done of "La Tristesse durera toujours," and sometimes I lie and say its a Manic Street Preachers reference
James White
>who's it by >it's by jee why bee ee
Carson Brown
Tattoos of products you can go out and buy are cringe every time, no exceptions. Unless you're comissioning an artist to put some OC on your skin you're just a brainwashed faggot.
Isaiah Campbell
I’m not a real tattoo guy but I’d consider getting the one on wl/wh
John Peterson
looks like lyme disease
Liam Bennett
I wanna get a tattoo of my dick on my dick, it symbolizes how I'm just a free spirit and I'm really deep if you get to know me bro.
Thomas Gray
>that nipple
Omygod, you are so based
Gabriel Murphy
I kind of want to get a headhunters or p funk tattoo but I'm white.
These tattoo threads always remind me of a guy I met at some shitty local nu metal gig in 97, had this fucking huge KORN tattoo on his chest. Pretty sure he's not too fond of it nowadays. Pic semi related, not this guy but the tattoo was pretty much the same. Also surrounded by a dozen other terrible band logos.
Got this piece of shit done in some dudes bedroom right after the album was released. Must've been 16 at the time. Far from my favorite of their works, but you know... kids are dumb.
