Title: Johns Tatoos
Post by Dream of Goo on Jun 2nd, 2005, 2:04pm
Since were talking about topless John pics, I think we all got a proper look at Johns tattoos on the LIB dvd too! Wow, i didnt realise he had so many on his back - the stars. They look cool though. I have always found the bear tatoo with question marks intriguing and i think its cool how he has 'picasso' the dream as his other tatoo, i have never seen a tatooo of a painting on someones arm before. What do you guys think of them? I dont know much about robbys or mikes tatoos. �

the one tat of john's that i really like, (besides picasso's artwork) is the celtic symbol... I don't remember what it's called, but you can see it on the inside of his wrist.

I think John has 7 tattoos, the Picasso on his right arm is my fave. �Then there's the "self help" tattoo on his right forearm and the celtic intertwined hearts on the inside of his right wrist. �The thinking man is on his left arm and the bleeding heart (I can't think of what it's actually called) is on his left forearm. �The crown and stars on his back and the man holding the world on his shoulders is on Johns right calf. �Yep, that's 7...unless I missed one.

Mike doesn't have any tattoos. �I'm pretty sure Robby has at least 3...

At one of the summer Goo shows, I noticed one on the calf of John's leg, but I have NO clue what it is...
Anyone?? �:thinkin:

Do any of YOU have any? I have 5, working on #6

I don't have any, but have always wanted one.  I think a gutterflower tattoo would be so cool.  My husband teases me about having a mid-life crisis...I'm 38 :wtf:  What do you have YoursGooly?

LOL @ mid-life crisis...
I am 31, so I must be going thru one, too! They are addictive and you won't regret it!  ;)

I have a celtic heart arm band on my right arm, a dream catcher on my left arm, a guitar w/roses and thorns around my left ankle (my fave!), a "Garfield-like" cat clawing down my back with a sun reflecting a tiger face and a "loop-of-life" cross (anc <--- sp?) with jewels on the right side on my chest. I want my next one to be on the small of my back or on the back of my neck. (still deciding)  :thinkin:

are you talking about the ginormous question mark he has on his calf?  i think that's the one you are referring to.  you don't see it very often because he usually has pants on that cover it up.  

i have 5 as well.  if i wasn't so poor i would have lots more!

Maybe? I saw it for a total of 3 seconds from a distance.  :-/

I like John's thinking man tattoo the best. Robby has a tattoo on the back of his neck of a crying baby, which I think is so cute. (You can see their tattoos at http://hotstufftattoo.com/gallery/celebs.html)

I'm considering getting a tattoo when I'm older and out of my parents' house, but I don't have a clue what I would want. I mean, it stays with you forever! I definately wouldn't get anyone's name tattooed on me tho, unless they're dead. Relationships change so fast, I wouldn't want to end up with the name of a person I end up hating on me to give me bad thoughts everyday.

A quote from the article on Johns tatoos from ..
http://dizzygoogirl87.tripod.com/itsallgoo/id61.html

He has Picasso's ``The Dream'' tattooed on his right arm and is in the process of having the Spanish artist's 1937 anti-war masterpiece ``Guernica'' etched into his lower back.

``There's a character in the painting who's reaching up to a crown, and there are stars above it,'' he says. ``It means its own thing to me; so I wanted to borrow the image.''

'Rzeznik is very much like the character in the painting, fueled by aspirations and always reaching to improve himself.'

Very interesting?

LOWER back? The crown is between his shoulder blades and the middle of 5 stars start on the back of his neck. Hmmm...very interesting!  :dunno:

The one on John's inner left fore-arm is the bleeding heart & thorns and I think it's supposed to be similar to the Flaming Heart of Jesus.
My guess the black crucifix above John's is also religiously symbolic.

That one is my favourite one of John's tattoos.   ;D

Yeha, that's a traditional tattoo, usually called a Sacred Heart.

I love Johnny's tattoos. I think they're so unique and beautiful....I think it's important to have original, personal tattoos. When I turn 18 (well not right away, but I need to be of age) I want the Eiffel Tower tattooed on my left shoulder. And then I know I'll get addicted and want more and my mother will hate it. Hhaha oh well. I adore tattoos.

yeah, i've been seriously considering this myself.  does anyone out there already have a gutterflower tatoo?  if so, how'd it turn out?

Funnily enough I don't think I'd want a "Gutterflower" tattoo, I don't think it has enough significance to me to want to have it permanently ingrained into my skin.

I'd probably like to get some lyrics done, except of course, it would require some space to make it look nice.
