Can anyone suggest any NO/JD symbols/images that would make a nice tattoo?

My mate is going to have a foo fighters tat done on Saturday morning, and if i can find one i like, ill have a NO/JD one done at the same time.

What do you think?

The Ceremony 7" cover.

I say do the little cherub guy from Technique...

My humble suggestions:

The leaf from True Faith. Everyone, even little old ladies, can enjoy that. Plus, the tattoo guy probably has had a lot of practice doing marijuana leaves.
The Perfect Kiss (that is, just have "perfect" scrawled up the length of your arm). It pays to advertise!
The little Bauhaus dude. No, it has nothing to do with NO, but it's only one color and a lot harder to screw up than the Technique cherub.

P.S. Take Peter Saville with you to supervise or have him whip up something new.

the new order bar code

sorry the new order bar code or the cover to Everything's gone green -- don't know why but i think it'd look cool

and not that this has anything to do with new order, other than the fact that I am a fan...but I have a full body tat of myself...very lifelike and realistic, my friends say that it looks just like me, only in better colors!!!

Remember mine Liv?? Adapt it!

Muffy...I've never seen this infamous tat...I hear it caused quite the commotion...

could you possibly give a verbal description?

actually, I guess that would be a written description...

How about the sleeve of Unknown Pleasures done in reverse, ie. black lines within a frame ? I'll have one done as well if you do !!

Thats the one i was actually thinking about.... the bar code that is. The EGG one is toooo big, and it would fucking hurt!

Any other suggestions... i've only got till Saturday morning to decide...

Howzabout the 12" cover to BM '88. Really cool concentric circles.......

I saw it done on the wall of a club, and with the black lights it looked really quite good.

3 Jan 2002, 17:58

Its got to be the unknown pleasures cover full size right across your back, surely??

3 Jan 2002, 18:23

get the bar code liv. with "so hip it hurts" directly underneath.

3 Jan 2002, 21:56

how about my picture?

Or your name using the coloured squares from Power, Corruption and Lies.

I'll put it up on me profile again soon, just for you Ra-Ra-Rasputin, lover of the Russian Queen! :smoking:

4 Jan 2002, 05:21

Actually, I think i'll get another one too. The barcode, on my ass I think! :smoking:

The barcode on my cock, so anyone could choose between de 7inch and the 12inch versions... :\ohwell:

4 Jan 2002, 06:11

Well, Liv :angel: , what do you think about the angel on the sleeve of Love Will Terrace Apart?

4 Jan 2002, 08:41

How about the blue Best Of question mark? If I was going to get an NO tattoo done, that's what I'd pick.

4 Jan 2002, 12:53

I was gonna say Unknown Pleasures, but seeing as two or three people have beat me to it, I suggest perhaps these:

have "New Order" in the style of the block letters on the cover of Movement
Perhaps the Ideal for Living sleeve (the lettering, not the Nazi drummer boy)
Longshot-The cover of Closer (the whole thing: Picture, the name, the works)

4.(Perhaps the only sensible one I've come up with) Blue Monday 1983 sleeve

Factory logo ?

Oi Muffy....

that's a fooking incredible tat...now if I only had such a nifty nickname, I could get me a infty one like that!!!!

And I don't even like tats...

4 Jan 2002, 13:26

OK I'm down to two.... the barcode and (on second thoughts) the EGG cover. I just dunno, and ive got to be sure as ive got it forever.... might take more time to think....or might be impulsive.... dunno yet! will keep you all informed!

I might consider Blue Monday (though my friends might wonder why I got a computer disk for a tattoo)....

4 Jan 2002, 16:09

I would have to go with Gnu Odor and say the leaf from True Faith. I would have to go with six leaves though for all the colors and to symbolize the members of the band.
