So you get drunk one night...

...and do this. The guy I woke up next to had no idea about it either.

sounds like you have a problem

I'd be more worried about you waking up next to a bloke.

Inside left forearm..about 3.5" long by 1.5" wide. Fuck you "getting a real job!"

Get pissed again next weekend

I always thought the "I got so drunk last nite and this morning woke up with an unknown new tattoo" was kinda a cliche that never actually happens.

What were you drunk... happened to be carrying around the True Faith vinyl 12" or 7" luckily so the tattooist could have a picture to go by, sat for an hour while the tattooist used a needle painfully right in front of your face... and you forgot it all completely? At least you got lucky, so the nite was not a total wash...

If i got drunk... I think i would get the Unknown Pleasures cover lines on my back... maybe on the back of my neck like a fucked up barcode... know that would be a cool hangover surprise...but I don't know if i can get drunk enough to conquer my fear of needles and the feeling that any tattoo i get would look stupid.

man, you people and jokes. I was kidding. I was stone sober. I've wanted this tattoo for years and finally got around to getting it. I considered the Unkown Pleasures logo but everyone I talked to told me that ,in time, it would meld into a blurry mess so I opted for the True Faith leaf. Totally didn't hurt.

I'm actually curious who here has a New Order tattoo? Or am I the only one here with a staunch commitment to ridiculousness?

Ha, knew you were fibbing! It's never true. But if you have real commitment to New Order and poverty you should have your whole arm blue from wrist to pit. Did you at least wake up next to some guy?

Yer mate can think himself lucky, I know a guy who was in tha navy, and went to a tatooist in hong kong for a thistle, and came out with a pineapple on his arm

True Story that

Would have been a much better yarn if he came out with a pineapple up his arse,mate. ....not for him though,natch.

that's a bad tat that. in two years time, get REGRET written underneath it. coz you will.

Subtle. Very understated.

Fella we used to knock around with had "PFD*" tattoed on his leg!!!

There's got to be some NO Nutter somewhere with Barney or Hooky's face as a tatt.

I'd ask this fella with the True Faith tattoo to check his back...there's probably a huge Andy Robinson face!!!

its better than a red get ready stripe i suppose.

True mate, I was on the Control set last year as an extra and this kid showed Sam Riley his left tit and he had a tat of IC's face on it. Some young lad from Sheffield. The name of his band is Siezure. Think he had an infatuation problem. Funniest thing about the day though was his mate who drove him to the set ended up getting a credit in the movie!! Doorman who wouldn't let Deborah Curtis into gig. Quality watching the 'lovey extras' faces when that happened!!

I dunno, I'm the kind of person who rearranges furnature/reorganizes shit on occassion because I get sick of things looking the same day in, day out. A tat (or piercing for that matter) is not for me. Too...permanent for a fickle bastard like myself

Now who here regrets their Lou Bega ink they got from the crazy ass summer of '99?

I have 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' tattooed around my lower left arm.

I do feel like some of you will want to take the piss out of it, but I'm rather proud if it. (plus I've got 6 (soon to be 7) other tattoos so it doesn't stuck out like a sore thumb!)

(thats the lettering style...I can't fit it all onto 1 pic!)

Nah mate, I think he's now making out it made him nervous as an intersting anecdote. In reality we all just had a chat about our, not Sams, love of JD and he said "well, I'd better make it good then".

Sounds good in interview though.

and here I thought you tatooed Luzon Island of the Philippines on yer arm....what relief that is!
