Thanks to Vivien and Giulia for getting me a last minute ticket for The Academy Is and Anberlin show, I managed to make my way down to The Billboard to check out my current favourite band, The Academy Is. It was a sold out show and naturally, the room was packed to the brim with little moving space. The one obvious thing that I noticed though, was that there were heaps of punters sporting tattoos (tatts). It's quite a contrast to The Limelight show, I reckon, as most of the punters that come through the door don't have tatts. So my question is, is it a music genre thing or is this just pure coincidence? What do you think? I mean, at The Billboard, it looks as though tattoos were the norm and if you didn't have any, you'd stand out and it is the other way around at The Limelight.
I reckon tatts are cool. It makes you look tough. But do you think anyone can look good in tatts? I mean, you know how some people don't have a hat head and no matter what hat or cap they put on, they just can't pull it off. Does it work for tats too? Do you have to be in a heavy rock band to pull it off or it doesn't matter? What is your take on this?

I LOVE TATTOOS... THEYRE DAMN HOT!!!! nah i think tattoos can work on anyone. the punk/goth/alternative people look more hardcore with tattoos, and the innovent/average looking people stand out and become 'mysterious' like they have another side to them LOL.
ReplyDeletei dunno but i've always personally liked tattoos. and nowadays it's everywhere!!!!
See, that's the thing, there was a time when, if you had a tattoo, you're special and you stand you. Now that everyone has it, you stand out for not having it! hehe. You'll be the cool one when it becomes cool, to not have any tatts. haha.
ReplyDeleteDo you have one by the way? If yes, what is it and if not, what would you get if you were to get one?

ReplyDeletehahah no tattoos but might get one in the future! no that's not true... i think it's still a unique thing for people to have tattoos, not the other way round!
