What tattoo to get next?

I realize that tats are popular with many younger people, although I utterly fail to understand why (ditto for body piercing...). I agree, however, with Rich that if you are absolutely set on getting a tattoo, choose one that will still be meaningful to you in 25 years. Hence, rather than choose a musical group, how about something like a musical score, with an F-clef and maybe 8-10 notes from a song or tune that you like?

Okay if you're a true audiophile it means you can't leave well alone. So if you get a tat, you'll begin to like it for some reason, then you'll come up with better ideas for more tats, more places and pretty soon (just like the search for the perfect cable) you'll keep getting tats searching for the "perfect" one. Soon you will have run out of body spaces for more tattoos and you'll be dragging your friends into it and..........it just goes on and on for the true audiophile whether it's audio gear, tattoos, tools, women, etc.

All I had to see were the old men who got tattooed circa WW2. Those things look like the USDA stamp on raw beef now. The thought of all the young girls turning 60 with tattoed sleeves on arms that will eventually look like turkey necks is frightening.

I agree with pretty much all the posts so far.

1) Don't do it.
2) If you must do it, do it right, and get something classy.
3) Don't do it.
4) If you must do it, I suggest either the Pink Floyd cover to Dark Side of the Moon. (That would be impressive!)
or
The Beatles Sgt. Peppers cover. (This would also be impressive. It would also hurt like a SOB, as it would take about a week of solid tattooing.)

Good Luck! Oh yeah, Don't do it!

PS Can you explain, to the rest of us, the attraction of getting a tattoo or a body piercing? The whole idea of it is so utterly alien to me, that I just can't fathom why anyone, other than a drunken sailor, would do it. Thanks!

How about a tatoo of stylus tracking pressure, speaker dispersion, or some digital jitter. They are all very subdued and will go with anything you wear.

They all stay within the music/stereo theme.
