Just out of curiousity, how big is he gonna be on you're back?

Fair enough getting maybe the Green Day logo, or some sort of symbol, but I wouldn't recommend getting someones face as a tattoo.

Also if its on your back no guy's is gonna want to do it doggy style while getting stared at by billy joe. could limit you in more then one way you know

Typical woman to say appearnace has nothing to do with sex:rolleyes: Anyway i strongly advise against it having seen people do the same thing. But end of the day its your body

It would sure as hell freak the crap out of me.
but when you get it done, be sure to post the pics

carpothepunk

Imagine doing it doggy staring at his own face hehe:D

What are peoples problem? It's as questionable as any tattoo, it's personal preference, his music means something to her or she looks up to him as a musical inspiration.

thank u finally someone who understands

Obviously she doesn't look up to him that much, she can't even spell his name right! LOL

Another petty stab at her

Jeeze Louise, it was a joke, if she's gonna have Billie Joe's face on her back she's gonna have to be able to take a bit of stick.

So you're saying everyone should be prepared to take stick when getting a tattoo?, I think tattoo's are personal things and it's comparable to abusing someone for having big ears or something similar.

I would definitely disagree with this. They say love lasts forever….but tattoos last six months longer. That Billie Joe tattoo might be important to her now…but how about in one month? One year? One decade? Musical tastes change so much durings one's lifetime and chances are ten years down the line some other band will have become the focus of her devotion. Also tattoo's of people can often be tarnished by the personal actions of these people (im sure there are people regretting their Gary Glitter tattoo's now). Thats what makes this type of tattoo a lot more questionable.

I dont mean to be disrespectful to the girl but she does come off as being slightly immature, and now that she's got an image she likes she should really keep it for a while before commiting to this tattoo idea. I can understand the fact that a bands music can really effect someone, and maybe help them through bad times, and I can also understand how some people want to mark these points through such acts as a tattoo, but theres a lot less questionable Green Day artwork out there that she could still have a personal attatchment too which would be a safer commitment.

and you're going to be with this 'fella' for the rest of your life are you?

And remember you have a full keyboard there, don't be afraid to use it.

Just to back myself up and give an example:



Its the American Idiot heart grenade with wings kinda exploding out of it. Its not the best tattoo idea in the world but something like this can still have meaning and some less questionabilty in the future.

the more important issue could be finding a tattoo artist capable of doing such a portrait. you should be looking at books for weeks, if not months and talking to tattoo artist. u might end up with a stick man on ur back with a microphone.

portrait tattoo's look tacky as hell imo, just look at that lesbian fred durst and his tattoo of kurt kobain on his man-tit. awful tbh

WOW well thats a complete pile of bull**** cos i found 1 who is doing it and they are v popular in ireland....shows what u "think" u know

LundiMardi

haha.. oh man, i really hope you don't listen to peoples advice here.. gas!

amazingemmet

Sorry i'll reapeat for clearness "there's on one who does GOOD black and grey portrait work on the scene in ireland" i never said no one was doing it. Anywho as you seem set on getting it done can i please ureg you to hold off til a convention when there is someone who can do a good job of it around?

porn_star

yeah, take Emmet's advice. He speaks sense.

If not, be sure to post pics of it done now

amazingemmet

Just want to add one more thing this is the first time i've seen people on this forum advise against a tattoo normally the response are "go bigger" "not big enough" , " get it done on your face" etc read into that what you will

Shiminay

Wouldn't be my cup of tea musically and you've gotta be wary of how your musical taste and the artist's future personal AND more importantly professional lives change. But, that aside, I'm not against the idea of getting a protriat. I think most people here feel that you should think a bit more about it and spend the time making sure you find the best artist. Good luck with it.

melekalikimaka

lets hope in six moths time armstrong doesnt get convicted of some disgusting crime like beastality or worse, could make ya less than popular at the beach...or farm...

I always wanted to get a Jimi Hendrix tattoo, but I have a mortal fear of people saying "nice marley tat"............but you're getting a tattoo of that ever so famous guy from ...ah yeah it's the bloke from placebo isn't it?

Thats absolutely crap. I got a portrait done free hand and it's absolutely fantastic detail.

Well thats why you're a robot that can't think for yourself? Someone as self conscious as you should never get anything done unless its sure to be marked stylish until the end of time.......

She may not listen to Billie Joe's music in years to come but I don't think you understand a personal choice. What if Billie Joe influenced her to start playing music or she got by hard times on his music for years? She may not listen to the music but it could be some sort of tribute to him or a reminder of something special. To me tattoo's are a diary of life and not something stylish that other people can adore.

BTW I absolutely hate Billie Joe but tattoo's are very personal and I would never give anyone abuse over something like this.
