Axl's tattoos

[christina_rose]

As far as I know the blue rose he has on his arm he got at Sunset Strip tattoo in California. And since we're on the subject of tattoos........



Here's mine?

that had to hurt. however, i'm willing to go through pain as well because i want axl's skull from appetite on my upper arm. i love that brilliant red.

and since i can't find the one i'm looking for, this'll have to do... and i don't think it's just the lighting. he didn't get rid of it, obviously, but it is way too dark now:

I thought it looked darker in the pic I was looking at from the VMA's too, but I could definitely still make out the hair on the skulls, but the faces looked darker.? So I can't think what he would have done to it, just blacked out the faces?? Maybe someone has a recent pic where you can see it clearly?

thanks for all the help

In my opinion tattoos only look good on famous people. When I see Axl,I think "Wow,that looks cool",but when I see a tattooed guy on the street I think "What the fuck was he thinkin'?"

Mind if I put in my opinion. Tattoo's are not always suppose to be pretty to look at, and they can be very beautiful. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And many tattoo's are very personal and to the wearer it only matters to them what it looks like. Be openminded about such things! MadManDan, this isn't directed at you, just wanted to share. I have several tattoo's and find it offensive when people get rude or ask the famous ?? Why. The answer is simple if you don't know the answer I can't give you one!!
Thanks for reading my crap!

Also does he have any new ones since 1994?

The Appetite Cross was magic markered out on purpose........ a statement that's all
Still..... my opinion.......

[willow]

Ignatius, How did you figure that out, did you get a closer look? All the pics are to far away to tell.

in alot of cases i agree with what you're saying.. but i do agree w/ what madmandan is saying when i see people just getting tattoos out of a book at the shop just because it looks cool..

if its something original and/or it means something to the person, then it is art.. but when its just those barbed wire/tribal markings around the biceps, a rose on a boob, etc, its just dumb.. its not original, its not personal, its not meaningful..

[christina_rose]

Ok, not to get off topic or anything, but I have a rose by my boob tattoo, as well as a barbed wire tattoo on my bicep. So I'm un-original. NOT. Not everyone goes out and gets these "typical" tattoos just because everyone else has them. I happen to like roses very much, and have 5 tattoos with roses. And they all mean something to me. As far as the bicep one, that means something to me as well. As do my other 20 tattoos. True, there are people that go out and get certain tattoos just because. But it's not everyone that does it.

[willow]

Ya! there are people out there that get tattoos off the board, actually two of mine are, but they are made original.
Christina, if thats what you want and it mean something to you then thats all that matters. I don't even like rose's and I ended up with 2. Because they were the point I was trying to make. I have a blue rose and guns and I also have a red rose with a peace symbol, I wanted it to mean peace and love. And the other is pretty plain to figure out.

[Lady Livin]

well, those who get tattoos that they know mean jack shit to them will just have to put up with a jack shit tattoo.

So he either had it permanently blacked out or he sat there and colored on himself with a marker before each show?

I'm not sure which I'd rather believe.  But the image of Axl sitting there coloring on his arm with a marker is pretty funny.

OMG, that is a funny picture. I can see him now with the Sharpie,"Almost there, just a little more...........haha! Success!!" 

And horay for blue rose tattoos!! 

[In a coma]

Axl has not had this covered up or does he sit putting marker on his arm. Tttaoos get darker with age. Black turns to green this is due to the skin re-generating.

[willow]

Black turns to green?? Only if you are still using crap ink and if you are I feel sorry for you. Ya they will darken, lighten or fade. I think  the problem with that tattoo, is he has redone it to many times. Which I never could figure out. He never gets any sun to fade them.

[Krash]

Does anyone know who that chick on Axl's arm is? Or is it just some nameless woman?
