PJ fan at the gym!

One of the highlights of my day today was meeting a PJ fan at the gym. I was working out with my trainer when I saw this guy with the Stickman tattoo and as soon as I had a chance I said how cool his tattoo was. He then asked me if I knew the meaning of it, and Hello! of course I knew... we talked for a few minutes, but my trainer gave me the look of "you haven't finished your session yet!".. I hope to talk to him again! :-) We speculated on where the 20th bash will be. He thinks it'll be in Chicago... I really hope so, but then again, I don't mind where it will be because we will be there!! :-)

no. here's what im saying. I have zero tattoos. Ive often thought about getting one. And if i got one, it would probably be a pearl jam tattoo. The stickman is the usual go to for PJ tattoos. But tattoos are for life and should be your own.
A stickman is better than a barbed wire tattoo. But i can think of better, more original pj tattoos than thatRC, SoDak 1998 - KC 2000 - Council Bluffs IA 2003 - Fargo ND 2003 - St. Paul MN 2003 - Alpine Valley 2003 - St Louis MO 2004 - Kissimmee FLA 2004 - Winnipeg 2005 - Thunder Bay 2005 - Chicago 2006 - Grand Rapids MI 2006 - Denver CO 2006 - Lollapalooza 2007 - Bonnaroo 2008 - Austin City Limits 2009 - Los Angeles 2009 - KC 2010 - St Louis MO 2010 - PJ20 Night 1 - PJ20 Night 20 -

to each their own
my first 13 years ago was the alive man
now i have 5 pearl jam tats in total
2 is artwork
the other 3 are inspired by pearl jam i guess youd say
and for a tattoo thats 13 years old...
if i could get a time machine and given the choice to do it the same or change it
i would leave it the same
i think its awsome that its something thats easy to identify with
i see other alive man tats
and sometimes theirs polite nods
sometimes theirs high fives
other times theirs been 5 hour long conversations over beers at pubs
i thank my sister every day for the best present anyone ever gave memakes much more sense to live in the present tense0 -
LOL. For the longest time, I thought the stickman tattoos were required to get on the floor at PJ shows. One of my favourite parts of a PJ concert is watching all the stickman tats file into the first 5 rows after the opening act is done.12345AGNST1 wrote:WaveRyder wrote:If I had a nickel for everytime I saw someone with a stickman tattoo id have atleast 5 bucks.

On the first day of one of my college classes, our professor asked us to write our name on a piece of paper and make little symbols around it that you can identify with. I wrote my name and drew a huge stickman. He asked me what it was (as if he had no idea), and as I started to explain, he pulled up his pant leg and had his own stickman tattoo on his calf. I think for the first time I might have been speechless. Needless to say, he has remained my favorite professor!

Wow...that sure is a great story!
I agree with what someone said, that tattoos are such a personal thing, and I do not have a tattoo (although I give plenty at work) but the thought crosses my mind once in a while about getting one, and it would be a Stickman tattoo.Polo Fields-Jun 24,1995/Spartan Stadium-Nov 04,1995/Shoreline Amphitheatre-Jun 01,2003/Aloha Stadium-Dec 09,2006/Bill Graham Civic Auditorium-Jul 15,2006/Bill Graham Civic Auditorium-Ju18,2006/
