I'd love to get a tattoo of the front cover image from Spiritual Unity.

But it'd be more pertinent, I guess, if I played the horn...

Oh hell yeah! Of course, no one outside the jazz world would get it

Don't have any tattoos, but if I was going to get one it would be a toss up of either Brotzmann's Machine Gun cover or Sun Ra's Jazz in Silhouette.

i was doing a search of the board and came across this old thread. i don't know how i missed it, except maybe for the fact that it apparently garnered very little interest among board members. anyway, i thought i'd mention the fact that i have the black saint records logo tattooed on my back. i am soooo cool.

I "understand" a lot of "non-traditional" behaviors, and have even participated in some that I didn't understand, but doggone it, the whole tattoo thing eludes me.

Completely.

My 30 somethin' nephew has my dad & grandfather's GI photos tattooed on his pecs.

Not musical, just strange.

I don't understand it, either, but that doesn't stop me from fantasizing about Kat Von D putting that picture of Braxton from "3 Compositions of New Jazz" on my back, does it??

[robviti]

what's "non-traditional" about a practice that is at least 5,000 years old? if you mean that tattoos are "unconventional" or "beyond the norm," consider this: a harris poll in 2003 revealed that 16% of people in the united states have at least one tattoo. at the same time, jazz records account for less than 2 percent of all cd sales. so i ask you, who is engaging in non-traditional behavior, people who get tattoos or people who buy jazz? of course, this means i'm a total freak because i do both.

btw, here's a peak at what may be my next piece of body art, a combination of two jim flora designs:

A friend of mine has "space is the place" on his left arm. (Sorry no picture of it)

You know what would be cool, is one of Braxton's graphic composition titles.

aloc isn't allowed to get a tattoo until he learns to spell the word.

I have a precise reproduction of the front and back cover of "Bitches Brew' tattooed on my chest; the front and back cover of "Big Fun" tattoed on my upper back; the front and back cover of "On The Corner" tattoed right under it; and the front and back cover of "Live Evil' tattooed around my left thigh.
