Title: Axl's wrist tattoo
Post by: R.A.W. on June 17, 2006, 07:50:31 AM
I have spotted Axl's wrist tattoo in a few of the pictures that have been doing the rounds. Just wondering when he got it and what is it . Any close up pictures people?

are you referring to the cross on his fore arm? Or has he got a new one? It mst annoy him to look at that tattoo every day and be reminded of the old band: A lesson for the kids, be real certain of what tattoo you want.

I don't think Axl woudl regret getting that cross tattoo. It's the cover of AFD as well (well, the NEW cover, I know), sure he has some fond memories as well.

I think  however RAW was referring to the new tattoo on his left wrist. I remember there were some clearer pictures a few months back. Can't find them now. It's a black tattoo, going round his wrist like a bracelet. It has a skull in it, as I remember.

Maybe someone a little more experienced with that damn search button can help you out. I am positive some clear pictures were posted before.

There is a very large picture, posted by Shaun I think. You can clearly see the tattoo.

It's a single skull wrapped in like a trible ring going around his wrist. He's had it since about 2001.

The only "conspiracy" I can think of is that the single skull represents him by himself now as opposed to the rest of the band on his other arm. But the most likely thing is he just got it because he liked it I guess.

His other "new" tattoo is around his left leg.

I think the first pictures of Axl with that tattoo came from his short holiday in.... was it Brasil? No, Chile. And that was 2001 I believe.

It's a wristlet with ONE skull. ...and roses....very tribal..........

the AFD cross tattoo has all pictures shaded in but one...........!

and hell no, if you WANT a tattoo GET ONE..or, two, or 5........Laser can remove them!

The Leg Tattoo has a reminisance of Mr. Mojo.....aka Jim Morrison, though not an actual pic.


and yes certain people DO read this, as well as the "others" ........Cough;BULLSHIT:ahem

WC



anybody who can read this postscript is an asshole!

i have alot of color and i havent had any problems.. some of them are over 10 years old too... ive retouched a few not very often.  but most artists wont charge much to retouch or re color a tattoo.. esp if u can keep the same artist...

its no so much the ink, altho darker ink does last alot longer, with the quality of the inks today almost all the colors stay vibrant for years.. except yellows.. thats the only color i have ever had to retouch was yellow... but its hard to see how the yellow looks when your getting the ink since the blood mixes with the ink, its hard to gague where he may have missed or not gone deep enough.. It  also depends on how deep the artist goes and how heavy of a hand he has. 

be sure to post a pic after you get it.

ok he looked great, I just feel that one pic with those extra long braides just made him look bad.. maybe it's something with pale white guys in their 40's with braides
