U2 inspired tattoos

OzAurora · 02-10-2004, 03:10 PM

howdy all I am getting a tattoo soon- it is going to be off the southern cross which is a star constellation that is visible in the southern hemisphere and funnily enough an Australian symbol and I want this cause I luuuuuuuuuuurve being an Aussie and love my country heaps.....anyway so I am getting the tattoo at the base of my back and inside each of the stars I am getting something drawn in there, instead of leaving the stars blank and because I am such a U2 geek I want something that symbolises them but I dont really know what to get. I dont want the word U2, as I think that would be wanky and I dont like any of those travel themed symbols from ATYCLB, the only could things that I have come up with is the baby logo from zooropa or the way 'one' is written on the 'smell the flowers while you can t-shirt'. So anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?????

The Johua Tree tree!

The zooropa baby would rock. I would get a tatto like that.

The Popmart Lemon is cool too!

In Phoenix, I saw a guy with the Zoo baby on his calf. It looked good.

What does this zoo baby look like? I'm sure I've seen it just not putting the name to the face. Some one post a pic?

OzAurora · 02-19-2004, 01:45 AM

the zootv baby is the image that is on the cover of zooropa, it kinda looks like a baby who is looking up

mine looks better.

same tattoo, same place. it's on my website somewhere, but it's basically the zooropa baby, nothing added to it or anything. it's cool cuz it's all black so it looks like someone drew it with a sharpie, keeping that not-so-perfect look of the album cover.

if i get a new tattoo, i was thinking about maybe the heart with wings (think the igwsha cover) on my shoulder blade. thoughts?
