I know I have read some interviews where he has talked about them.
The symbols on his arm are kanji, I think. They are like Love, Truth, Faith...but one of them was drawn just a little off and means something else and John was quoted saying something like "I'm the only guy in the world who has a self-help tattoo"...or something like that. LOL
And the other one is a cartoon.....like from a series. Hmmm, let's see if I can find something about them.

Here you go.  I just did a Google search on "rzeznik tattoos".
I hope it is okay to post this here, here is a page about all of them:
http://www.googoodollsrock.com/theband_john_tattoos.html
Also if you do that google search there are some pages with great pictures of them all, including the website of the tattoo artist who did a bunch of them.

Thanks for the link I think I been there before, cuz I remember reading about the stars meaning something about his stars representing his sisters and they symbolize something about Buffalo being the homeland. I copied some of the pics into MY PICTURES on comp. I'll have to go back and read it. Glad you found the link cuz I couldn't remember where I saw 'em ....thing about self help...I know it was hysterical LOL

Yeah I knew of that one...I read somewhere, in the chat session I think something about why buy art when he can spend a 1000.00 $$$ and have it tattoed on his arm or somethin like that. So I assumed the Picasso cost that much to have done.... it took sometime I guess too...

the one on his upper-right arm is definitely picasso's "the dream". what you might not know is that it's supposed to be a woman masturbating.

This one is a cartoon by Saul Steinberg, an excellent cartoonist who's work frequently appeared in The New Yorker magazine. This is probably his most famous cover for the magazine:

It's funny, last weekend my daughter was watching the VH1 countdown with me, and when they showed John in GALB, she asked me why he's got a tattoo of a guy on the toilet.
