I'm just wondering how many people out there have PJ tattoos, I currently have two tattoos and have been wanting to get a PJ tattoo FOREVER!!! although my husband seems to think this idea is "completeley stupid" as he would put it! (not that i care..besides PJ are my obbsession! :) )

I held off on the idea until i had my kids..now the desire to get a PJ Tattoo has resurfaced...I've been waiting 12 years to get this tattoo. Does anyone think this is a stupid idea?

    I have 1 so far, it's on my left forearm as part of my half sleeve. It's the surf board cross logo from the x-mas single from a couple years ago.
    My half sleeve is made up of logo's and art from a lot of my favourite artist, so your husband would think i'm a complete idiot lol.

    Thanks for the ideas..I was toying with the idea of getting the stick man, but thought that it seemed too common (although i'm still thinking about it) what i was thinking of was just getting "Pearl Jam" written somewhere (maybe on the back of my neck..cause it'd always be seen cause i ALWAYS have my hair up)

    Mind u my husband doen't like that idea...but once again who cares right!!! :):)

    As my first tattoo i got a stickman... no wording... i figured, it is a character that unless you love the band, no one really knows what it is... i cant tell you how many people ask me about it...

    I have thought of having a tattoo for the last 2 years but I can't decide.
    Finally, I always come back to the stickman... I think this is the one I'll finally have.

    I am going to get the royal skull on the back of my leg :) thought about the stickman, but looking at the tattooedeverything site I wanted something else

    My tattooist has my designs for.....


    * Left half sleeve - full color Todd McFarlane Do The Evo video montage

    * Left inside wrist - Riot Act skull with 'I Am Mine' written beneath

    * Right inside wrist - Red Mosquito with 'Hail! Hail!' written beneath

    * Chest - piece with birds and clouds with 'Given to Fly' written across my heart.

    Starting with the half sleeve in March hopefully, just a case of money :)
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    i like the 5 elements design alot.

    i love the ape/man design too, but don't think that would make a great tattoo.

    Thanks for the ideas...I was thinking last night about what tattoo i should get..i'm thinking of getting the stickman w/t Pearl jam written underneath it?

    Not quite sure yet...? my other tattoos are not huge so i don't want this one to be huge but i want it to be seen and to show my OBSESSION for the ONLY band on this earth that are worthy of a tattoo on my body..does that sound retarded? :)

    I have a canadian maple leaf with pj under it and 05 on top of it on my right thigh. Can't wait to get a yield sign on my left back shoulder blade, hopefully soon!
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    My guy made a whatchamacallit...photocopy transfer thing and put it on me, then basically traced it and filled it in, that way it was exactly as how I wanted it.

    My wife and I got our stickmen done together...before we were married. Her's is on her lower back...mine is on my left calf.

    I have been trying to get a design worked out of the beetle (from my '95 Chicago ticket stub) with our three kids names in it rather than Pearl Jam. We'll see if it works.
    Like a word misplaced...nothing said...what a waste
