Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Hey I saw on another Message Board , someone said AXL crossed out the SLASH skull and the rest of the other band members skulls on his CROSS TATOO? on? his arm :o? ?:rant:

 Any one know If there is any truth to this ??????




I tried to search the forum with the search bar to get any topics related to this
but it said I wasn't aloud to search this forum? ::)

Yeah what gives with the stupid search bar. ???
But I remember seeing that his arm has all the skulls besides his (of course) blacked out with black ink.
It really sucks because it only makes him self seem even more of a loner.

Yes, search has been disabled at the moment.

Ok thanks I heard it on a message board somewhere But never heard it in a news story or anything, Well

Here is what I think AXL needs
"Since the old GnR can't seem to get along,
And for what ever reason he doesn't want to release The Chinese Democracy.

He needs to just put together the The Baddest Rockin Metal, Thrash Band and Rock like there is no tomorrow , Thats how GnR Started , with that kinda attitude, and thats what he likes to do and thats what he's good at,
and just Have Fun Making Tunes? :hihi:
and screw the critics? :beer:

The skulles where there in 02

No, you see the whiteish at the top skull

Someone needs to find a picture of his arm and post it,

I wonder why there are no news stories about it if it's true ? ::)

I doubt he did

You can see the face isn't BLACK on the end.. Things with detail so close together fade after 17 years, the forearms?get slot of sun, I have 7 tats/

As Mikegiuliana said!!! They fade and blend together.Also, he has redone them several times and that takes away the detail.

Dosen't you re-do tats to make it clearer, cause the detailed ones gets all blurred as years go?

You see the white top skull at the loder vma-interview, and thats slash at the top :)

But can anyone post a  o2 pic where we see that clearly, i'm not sure myself :-\

well from that pic it doesn't look like unless he did it after that show

it wasn't till after that show VR came out and the GnR music  Law suite, when VR claimed he wanted to re-record  GnR songs to cutt the others out of the profit ,
hmmmmmmmmmm what ever happened with that law suite anyhow? ::)

You redo tattoos to make them brighter. Everytime you redo them they lose clarity. I have several and have had them a long time, if you want to keep them bright, you have to redo them.

May I point out that the cross tattoo use to be purple, the mistake he made was making it black, it looks like the black was to heavy and damaged the rest of the tat.

I have had for five years and been heavily exposed to the sun, and the black faded a bit, and some details became unfocused, :-\

so the tattoo shop wanted to rewrite(or re-do) some of mine to fix it, but we didn't change em' :)

If axl changed his it should be different, but if he only repaired it with re-doin it-

shouldn't it make it clearer and more focused? If it's not too strecthed and old :yes:

There's just got to be a pic outhere from 02 where you can see the skulls :coffee:

Nice to see people here have the like -in to tats, i like em a lot : ok:

Just use common sense, they fade, the forearm is alsways out in the sun, also why would anyone take a nice piece oif art (history a matter of fact) and just color the thing black, it would look so fucking stupid.. Everyone is making axl out to be really shallow..
He m,ight not be buds with the old guys but the cross has meaning, it symbolizes the time and the best album ever,..

Depends on a lot of things. The ink that was used the first time, was probably not the best quality. This would cause the colors to bleed. I think thats what happened.
Everytime you ad ink your going to loss the original detail.

Yes, i don't think he would ever do that, but i wanna know for sure

any bootlegs that has focused that?

remember that so detailed tats as that changes a lot after 15-30 years, + the skin changes
is it like floating?

 Jarmo, do you know the answer to this? seen anything confirmative?

Every tattoo I have is at least ten years old, a few are 12 years old... They lose the sharp deatail,and even older ones not onlty fade but start to blend into one big mess..

It wouldn't suprise me if each face would soon begin to blend into one and look more like a solid color which would eliminate the detail and make it look like one piece..

In the pic I posted you can clearly see blonde hair so it's NOT painted black, we just didn't see axl in such a long time that the tattoo wasn't as sharp as we remembered..

Yeh someone find a pic of his arm and post it.
there has got to be one as much touring as axl did for the CHINESE DEMOCRACY,

If this is a rumor Lets put it to rest  ::)

Dizzy is correct.

See:


http://www.vanishingtattoo.com/tattoo/celeb-rose.htm

But in this picture, it looks like it has a greenish hue to it.

It showed me exactly what I said, it's faded and belnded into a messy blob.. If it was just black you wouldn't see the blonde hair in the skull, or the blue or the red in axl's piece.... You make it sound like you saw the tattoo get worse over the years, this is over ten years.. We last saw the tat in like 92, then we see it again in 2002 up close..

how do you figure Dizzy is correct? Those faces are clearly NOT blacked out.  Sure the faces may not be as sharp as when he fist got it done but i can def. see sculls....how are people seeing them as being blacked out!?? (from that link above)

That link dosen't show much It's too small and the large Pics are too Old  ;D

Ok, i see the skulls clearly is still there

-rumour killed-

rumor not killed

the only new pic on the link, is too small of a pic of the arm,
 and the other pics are very old :smoking:

Maybe my english sucks, but you think the skulls ar tattoed over? gone?

Because no, they're there,

you can easily see the skulls, hats, hair on that pic :yes:

how can you say you can't decide ,the colors are clearly visable from the blonde hair to the blue n red in axl's skull.. It's just an old tattoo that blended and has become a cluster.. Another thing is when you get a tattoo you arm size may change over the years and stretch teh skin..

CASE CLOSED THE TATTOO IS NOT BLACKENED..
