Sonic Life
 
I was thinking about getting the Sonic Life cross (like my avatar) as a tattoo with white ink. I just wanted to know what everyone (including the band, if I'm lucky) thought about that idea. I know Thurston already did it, but I love the design and I think it would turn out well.

Doubt the band will see this. But I think it'd be a really cool tattoo. You dont wanna go to some gross place and have them fuck it up, go somewhere good to get it done.

my ex had this done a couple years ago before the daydream nation shows in california, and we showed thurston backstage. he got a pretty big kick out of it, i think. lee took a bunch of pictures comparing the two, if i recall correctly.

i was worried how it would turn out, but hers looks AWESOME.

I compromised with a t-shirt. I advise you to do the same. (and white Ink would look like someone jizzed a crucifix on your arm)

how have i not seen/heard about thurston's tat?

Pictures of it are scarce, but it exists!

Hey, a lot of my friends go to Salisbury University... just thought it was cool to see "Salisbury, MD."
As for the thread topic, I think it would make a pretty rad tattoo design.

His 'tat' is exactly the same design I have on my t-shirt actually.

automatic bzooty 04.16.2009 08:26 PM

yeah, i've seen the sonic life cross (of course) but i hadn't seen it on thurston before.

White tattoos actually end up looking more like natural tattoos. They almost look like a branding or something similar but they are MUCH less obvious and therefore difficult to do so yeah, I wouldn't go to anyone that hasn't done white before. As far as the whole "band" thing, my best friend and I have been listening to Sonic Youth for years and music has always been the main thing we have in common. He plays guitar and I play bass. He was thinking about something similar if not the same thing. Thanks for the support from everybody so far though.

you have my support! good luck. godspeed.

barnaclelapse 04.17.2009 07:06 AM

I say go for it.

It's a great design, and I could see a person who has no idea of Sonic Youth digging it.

Awesome. When I showed Lee my tatoo he took a picture of it too. I ddn't what to say except "...sure"

There are times, however, and this is one of them, when even being right feels wrong. What do you say, for instance, about a generation that has been taught that rain is poison and sex is death? If making love might be fatal and if a cool spring breeze on any summer afternoon can turn a crystal blue lake into a puddle of black poison right in front of your eyes, there is not much left except TV and relentless masturbation. It's a strange world. Some people get rich and others eat shit and die.

Cheer up. Might never happen

after getting mistaken for a christian by some older man in a grocery store-he told me he led a bible group called something very close to sonic life christian ministry(no shit...)- i feel kind of weird wearing this shirt out in public.
