However much I do agree that A Band Tatoo is a very risky and carelss thing to do, I do not agree that anyone should be shot because of it.

relax, nothing matters.

Re: APC tattoo

Its not about the band. Its what the IMAGE means to me, which as it just so happens is almost completely unrelated to the band. besides even if it was about the band, isn't there circumstances where a band would be important enough in someones life to put them onto their body?

Re: APC tattoo

Yeah there is, cuz I got the circle of eyes from Lateralus tatooed on my upper arm and it's badass. I don't care what anybody says. It's Alex Grey, it's TOOL, and it's the shit. So bite me.

Band tattoos are still lame, whether you think it's warranted or not.

Re: APC tattoo

It's really big. I thought about incorporating the APC-esque symbol into a tatoo design... but you couldn't really tell it was an APC tatoo.

That's your opinion, so don't get one. Certain things mean something in one person's life that it doesn't mean in another's, so I'm sure he doesn't expect you to understand. I can think of way more lame tattoos than bands. Like, anything from a flash book, or a name, or chinese lettering, or a lower-back tattoo on a guy, or your own name in case you forget it, or the list can go on and on.

I'll have to take some, or find some old ones. I'd like to get it filled in, in the middle and follow it down my arm a little with something but have no idea what. So when you see it, consider it "in progress" still. I'll find something, I know I have them somewhere. Doesn't look like much but took over 3 hours to do, with every single little eye having detail in it, and like 4 or 5 colors in each blended together. I'm happy with it though and years later it still looks great. Lotion every day baby.

Re: APC tattoo

I really like the tones of the logo itself. The runes look pretty nicely done too. That's pretty cool as long as it has significance to you.

I really hope your just being a dick because if your serious I would like to point out that there are only seven letters on my back. and they aren't even close to your dumb explaination.

there is a font floating around the net that has it. there is also a picture of each letter in full somewhere too. I lost my font, but i did print out all the letters onto a piece of paper. I can't seem to find the font again. kinda tough to find.

thanks I like the tones a lot as well. I was actually going to do the entire thing in black, but there was a bit of miscommunication and as I sat down for my appointment I noticed he had colors matching the reference picture sitting out (the logo was from the album eMOTIVe) so I made a quick decision, asked him price difference from color/no color ( he said no difference) and so I let him do color. And I extremely pleased with the turnout.


and for you skeptics out there, I swear the tattoo has less to do with APC than you think. It s a very spiritual tattoo that I stylized after the logo. At a later date I will be including the lateralus vertical flaming eye into the center of the logo. Same situation as It is spiritual but I am stylizing it with help from tool.
