So... First off.  
What's up?

I've been MIA for a year... I'll explain later.
Quick question... 

I have heard a rumor that Ed will no longer sign skin for tattoos.

However, at one time... he would.

Anyone have any info why he won't sign skin for tattoos or if that is a rumor.

Cheers. 


I'm like a tab

    I had my skin flute signed. He could only put Ed cause of its size. ☹️ Hopefully it doesn’t give me ED.

    "sign skin for tattoos"? What does that mean?

    An artist autographs your forearm with a sharpie, and then you rush to a tattoo artist to have them tattoo it on your forearm. 

    I have tons of tattoos but would never get that. Seems really creepy to me. But to each, their own.

    oh, thanks. I kinda imagined it was something like that.. I have a better solution: let the artist directly carve their signature into your body with something sharp enough, that way you could really say he/her "signed" you.

    I'm with you on that. If someone has a need to impress strangers with the band they like, just wear their t-shirt.  :)

    Or have them sign your banjo! All I need is Stone and Boom:)

    Question 1. Can I sign it?

    Question 2. Can you list all the names who have signed it?

    Oh and I forgot about Danny Elfman stretched each string and signed the middle. It was awesome:)

    No, not LA. Awesome. Those are some amazing people having signed it. Thanks so much for sharing that. And I agree. A banjo is better than flesh.

    So how do you have a banjo when you run into all these people? And how did you meet them all? I feel there’s a great story here. 
    This is what Willie Nelsons’s banjo would look like if he had one, I would just tell everyone Stone and Boom signed where the holes are.

    I have been collecting signatures on my banjo since I moved to LA in 2004. I only go after artists that inspire me. I always carry my banjo with me. If I see someone, I ask and they usually sign. I also attend a lot of Jimmy Kimmel shows. Many artists will sign after the show

    This thread has inspired me to get a banjo tattoo.

    How’d you get Dee to sign that? Last signing I went to he would not sign any instruments so consider yourself lucky.

    I thought about doing something like that with my bass, getting my favourite bass players to sign it. But I ain't carrying it around with me, and not a lot of my favourite bassists are seen walking around Winnipeg. Maybe Jim Kale of the Guess Who. LOL
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer
