getting a new tattoo of the beatles any ideas or pics would help
-
I think the logo would be just fine. But that's just me.
-
I have seen a number of Beatle tattoos. The most common one I have seen is the outline of the boys from the cover of Help!. Also, I saw Ringo's drumset with The Beatles logo on the front. I have also seen lines from songs like "With a little help from my friends" and "all you need is love". I even saw someone with the whole song lyrics of In My Life on their entire back. And then of course I have seen the actually faces, which if your going to do that make sure you have someone who really knows what they are doing because the last thing you want is a tattoo that only kind of looks like John! (BTW I have only seen these online, never on someone in person). Oh yes, and I also saw someone with a whole sleeve dedicated to Yellow Submarine (this was pretty darn cool!).
I was thinking of getting one myself but I am not sure. If I do end up getting one, I would like it to be original.
-
If I were to get a tatoo of the Beatles, it would probably be the "classic" logo. I think that's the best. Or the green "apple" with the Beatles logo on it. That would be pretty cool.
-
I want the Sgt Pepper drum-head logo.
-
Cant go wrong with a Blue Meanie

I want a Beatles tattoo! I don't know of what yet?
I have quite a few choices here :)
-
I got a good one...but no offense I'm keeping it a secret until I get one :) Sorry!
-
hah thats okay.
I'm thinking John Lennon on my back.
-
That's cool.....
A few that I thought of, but probably won't get is like Imagine or some other Beatle related word on your lip. And a heart where John got shot, that is a little graphic though and I'd probably cry everytime I saw it, but I had a dream about getting one like that.
-
Yeah.
That would be to hard for me to get.
Just the thought of it would send me crying.
But I do like the imagine idea.
On your lip though??
haha
That would hurt.
-
I thought about getting a Beatles tattoo for a while... But I decided that anything with words (including the Beatles name) or portraits of band members would not be an option... Because I wanted something that was in a way Beatles related, but that would also be a cool design on its own even if it wouldn't have had anything to do with the Beatles... I couldn't find any good image that fitted my demands, so I haven't gotten one yet... I do have two Beach Boys tattoos (the bee from the "Wild Honey" album cover, and the sun from Brian Wilson's "Smile" album cover with the first notes of "God Only Knows"), one Red Hot Chili Peppers tattoo (the elf from the "One Hot Minute" album cover), one from one of my own bands (two stars and a horseshoe with the band's name, Striving Higher) and two that aren't music related (my family crest, and a praying angel).
-
On your lip though??
haha
That would hurt.
Unlike tattoos anywhere else on your body, tattoos on the inside of your lip vanish after a few years. So it's not really worth it to get one there.
-
Really? I never knew that. That's weird. Atleast if you sneak behind your parents back and get it they can't pull the excuse that you'll have it forever :)
Ooh...you can get music notes to your favorite Beatle song somewhere......
-
Oh, here's an idea for a Beatles tattoo... Get something with a music staff... And use the notes from a part of your favorite Beatles song...
-
Haha... Great minds think alike... ;)
-

You could get something like this with a part of a Beatles song...
-
HAH...we said that at the same time almost ;)
-
How about just the words in bold script, "Abbey Road"............
-
I was thinking about getting a single eighth note with Imagine written underneath it
-
Music staffs are a cool idea, if you can read music. I would probably get a select lyric in a cool script, but if you wanted a graphic, you could use something from The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics book. They're all very cool and sixties-ish, without being something we've seen a million times like the Yellow Sub art or the cartoon show characters.
-
For over a year I've said that I was going to tattoo "I am the Walrus" on my wrist.
Haven't done it yet though... But someday!
-
I would either get it, if I ever got one, on my wrist or behind my ear.
-
get thje whole Sgt Peppers cover on uer back if youre feeling brave :P make sure the tattooist is up to the job also
-
For now I'm in the "classic Beatles logo" camp...although I could change my mind. I've been thinking about getting a Beatles/Beatles-related tattoo for more than a year now, but I'm never fully certain of what it should be or where it should go. Ideally, I'd like to choose my arm or wrist, but in reality I can't put tattoos in any "openly visible" areas because of job issues. Plus, I'm terrified of needles, LOL. It'll be a while before I see which wins out...my Beatle love or my needle-phobia.
For those who don't want super-obvious Beatles tattoos, you could always get inked with an item or animal from their songs. (Blue jay, walrus, octopus, blackbird, etc.) ;)
-
I was thinking about Beatle tattoos today. I am thinking some Peter Max like, with The Beatles logo in the middle. I haven't decided yet though.
-
I think this would be good but wouldn't be cheap as a lot of work required:

If you ever get a tattoo of a person, make sure you do pay alot because you get what you pay for. Actually, with any tattoo, as it is pretty much for life. I guess what I am trying to say, is make sure whoever is scarring you for life knows what the heck they are doing!
-
get thje whole Sgt Peppers cover on uer back if youre feeling brave :P make sure the tattooist is up to the job also
;D ;D ;D That is hillerious! Can you imagine this happening!!!!! If you are feeling brave and maybe you are a tad bit masochist! Gee, the entire Sgt P!!!! I'm stil laughing!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
that reminds me. I have a firend and he got the NZ map tatooed on his arm. He says it was bloody painful to get and that Auckland is very itchy! ;D
-
I cannot even imagine, then again...
I don't remember if I mentioned this yet or not but I did see online someone had a whole sleeve of Yellow Sub, it was pretty cool!
-
I like drawing tatoos on my when I get bored in class. They usually consist of stars, like the shape, hearts, peace signs, heart peace signs, and lyrics to a Beatles song in cursive. You could do that...
And, the whole Sgt. Pepper's album? I'd be too much of a wimp to do that, but that would be so cool!
-
I've seen folk with The Beatles Cartoons
-
Don't know if I would want that on my body forever
-
I was thinking of a kick drum (since I'm a drummer) with The Beatles logo and a silhouette of them from either Help! or Abbey Road in the middle of it.
-

-
If I ever work up the nerve I want to get a black silhouette of Abbey Road kind of like this...
(http://i42.tinypic.com/htv77d.jpg)
-
Swine, is that you in the picture??? Cute tatoo!!!!
-
I never knew Ringo had a tattoo as well:

Yeah, I was about to mention something like this. Imagine it bigger and going riiiiiiiight across!
-

What a nice pick up line "wanna cross my road?".... :P
I remembered that when I went to see Billy Connolly he told a story about a man wanting to get a Thistle tatoo. But the tattoo man didnt understand English so the man tried to describe it to him. And he ended up with a pine apple on his shoulder. ;D
-
You could get an outline of the four's faces on the Rubber Soul album. Or their faces on Revolver.
-
makes an Abbey Road silhouette tattoo... ;) ;)
I also want one! ::)
-
^^It'll sure suit you! Seems like you love Abbey Road^^
:)
-
I'm getting one for CHRISTMAS!!!!!! My sister and I are going to get tattoos together.
I don't want to say what it is, it is really original and I want to keep it that way!
But I am sooooo excited!!!!!!!
-
I never knew Ringo had a tattoo as well:
([url]http://www.beatlesfanclub.nl/images/stories/RingoStarr001.jpg[/url])
Yah, I didn't know that either. It looks like a star going through something crescent shaped. I wonder what it really is?
-
Ive been dying to get one but Im waiting until im a little older. It'll be very plain but i dont mind.
it jus want it to say "... Let it be" in a nice script on the back of my nack or hip.
-
I wanted to get one as well, the word The Beatles in the classic font... but I have been brainwashed by family and peers against that.
-
Yah, I didn't know that either. It looks like a star going through something crescent shaped. I wonder what it really is?
A shooting star. (Starr) That crescent shaped thing would be the moon.
-
So, after thinking about a tattoo, I decided that I was going to wait to get one until after I finish university and get my first real job. It will be a present to myself for working hard, and by that time, I'll have decided what I really want. Though I'm pretty sure it will still be the Hey Jude lyrics.

With all the Na na na nah, Hey Judes?
-
Hah! No, I'm thinking about getting "The movement you need" written on my shoulder. The song, especially that line means a lot to me.
-

Imagine the reactions.
"Eh, why do you have 'na na na na na na na, na na na na, hey Jude' written all over your back fifty odd times?" xD
But Mairi, I think 'The movement you need' on your shoulder is a very clever idea, I like it a lot.
-

yah know that you say that I can totally see it! ;)
Thanks Sondra!

hahaha... That seems like something I would get if i was super drunk and extra beatlely!
Im thinking of where would be the best place to get one. Im not really into back pieces but if I get it anywhere else where its extra visible my family would freak.
Image wise I was thinking of getting somethine related to Blackbird.
-
^^That seems like it would be neat. Like have a blakbird and the lyrics flowing around it.
I'm trying to decide on a lyric. I like this one, but it's a John lyric and I'm feeling I should get a George lyric.
-
makes an Abbey Road silhouette tattoo... ;) ;)
I also want one! ::)
The "Abbey Road" silhouette tattoo idea is a fabulous one. I would consider that for myself.
-
Actually, I would also consider getting a tat of the name "Penny Lane"...for obvious reasons. :P
-
I've actually been looking into black light tattoos and I was thinking of something Beatley in between my shoulders.
-
"and in the end...." or a my avatar like the love poster

Oops. Someone likes their vegies
-
Get out the Q-switched laser! ;D
By the way, it was Ringo who came up with the name of that song about two and a half years before it was ever recorded!

;)
-
Maybe he likes it that way! This reminds me of something a former co-worker told me. She sold a vehicle to this guy and when he was signing the papers she noticed the tattoo on his hand: WE WILL RAIN! I'm assuming he meant reign. And it turns out he was from my hometown. When I found out who it was I wasn't surprised by the spelling or the assumed sentiment.

Being a copywriter, I was looking for misspellings that have quite an impact. I ran into this Tomarrow thing on the internet.
