Title: BB tattoo Post by: shelter on September 07, 2006, 04:40:35 AM For a long time I've been thinking about getting a Beach Boys tattoo, but I can't think of what exactly I should get, so I was hoping anyone here might have some good suggestions...
This is a picture of three of the tattoos I already have: (http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b245/BiscuitPower/armmm.jpg) So it should be something in roughly the same style (colorful, thick lines, almost comic style)... And I definately don't want faces of the BB themselves or text, because I want a tattoo that is BB related but can also stand on it's own... It must be BB related but still look cool to someone who doesn't know that it is BB related. The only option I have so far is the Brother Records indian (especially the one on the cover of the Brother Years compilation), but I'm not really sure about that one. I know I'm making this very complicated, but any good suggestions would be very welcome. :) Title: Re: BB tattoo Post by: Jonas on September 07, 2006, 08:21:01 AM here are a few ideas...
I know you didnt want any of the faces, but how about just Brian from this picture (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0e/SummerDaysandSummerNights.album.cover.jpg) have him to the right of the angel leaning towards her? (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/ce/SurfsUpCover.jpg) I like that a lot, tho it might be a bit too "sad"... Title: Re: BB tattoo Post by: shelter on September 07, 2006, 11:45:40 AM An image of Brian or the Beach Boys boys is definately not an option. I'm looking for something more symbolic.
The Surf's Up indian is a pretty cool imagine, but I'm affraid it'd be too much of a dark stain. I'm looking for something a bit more comic like. But thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate it. :) Title: Re: BB tattoo Post by: JScott on September 07, 2006, 02:19:15 PM Put a version of this on your body:

Some good, some not so good. Title: Re: BB tattoo Post by: Rocker on September 07, 2006, 02:21:25 PM @JScott: Wow, where did you get those pictures? Very nice !
What about the "original" Smile-Cover by Frank Holmes? Title: Re: BB tattoo Post by: JScott on September 07, 2006, 02:34:23 PM I did a yahoo search for "Heroes and Villains" and found a web site with all those stills from a flash video.

Title: Re: BB tattoo Post by: shelter on September 07, 2006, 11:33:41 PM Some of these pictures are pretty interesting. Especially the Surf's Up indian and the Smile sun... I'll keep looking but I'll definately keep these in mind. Thanks!
Title: Re: BB tattoo Post by: Zander on September 13, 2006, 01:24:22 AM How about the Bee of the Wild Honey cover, a little different and no-one except a fan of the Beach Boys would know what it was...?
Title: Re: BB tattoo Post by: Daniel S. on September 14, 2006, 03:02:49 PM Why don't you get a tattoo of a surfboard or a sunflower? That's symbolic right?
Personally, I think the Brother Records Indian would be pretty cool. Title: Re: BB tattoo Post by: shelter on September 15, 2006, 04:22:53 AM How about the Bee of the Wild Honey cover, a little different and no-one except a fan of the Beach Boys would know what it was...? I actually considered that as well. Only downside is that Wild Honey is one of my least favorite BB albums. It's still one of the options thought. Title: Re: BB tattoo Post by: shelter on September 15, 2006, 04:25:56 AM Why don't you get a tattoo of a surfboard or a sunflower? That's symbolic right? Personally, I think the Brother Records Indian would be pretty cool. Yeah, the Brother indian is definately the best option so far. Both the one from the logo and the one from the Best Of The Brother Years comp. A surfboard wouldn't be a good idea since I'm not a surfer... The sunflower would've been great it there would've been a recognizable, unique sunflower on the album cover instead of a very generic one... Thanks for the suggestions. Title: Re: BB tattoo Post by: Aegir on September 20, 2006, 05:51:16 PM The Indian seems to fit in very nicely with your already existing tatoos.
Title: Re: BB tattoo Post by: shelter on September 21, 2006, 03:32:28 AM Which indian is better?
This one: (http://api.mds.cw.com/xmlserver/img/005000-005999/med_5080.jpg) Or this one: (http://brownbrothersrecordings.com/images/BrotherRecords.jpg) Or maybe from a different angle? (http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Records/ApealToTheGreatSpitit_Low.jpg) (http://stockphotos.salemdesign.com/albums/Boston/AppealSpirit25.jpg) Title: Re: BB tattoo Post by: Rocker on September 28, 2006, 04:15:53 PM I think the first one is the coolest but only if you got a sun shining on him like on the cover. Otherwise I probably would take one of the last two.
Title: Re: BB tattoo Post by: shelter on March 07, 2007, 07:46:30 AM I made this design... I think this is gonna be it. The music notes are from page 3 of the Pet Sounds sessions box set booklet ("I may not always love you" from God Only Knows), the sun is from BWPS, obviously.

Title: Re: BB tattoo Post by: melissalynn on March 08, 2007, 12:11:32 PM Wow, that's really awesome. You going to show pictures of the finished product once you get it done? :)
Title: Re: BB tattoo Post by: shelter on March 08, 2007, 01:34:26 PM Of course. :)
Title: Re: BB tattoo Post by: wiggbuggie on April 07, 2007, 05:15:26 PM what about the sun from the landlocked bootleg?

That sun is also on the sleeve of the All Summer Long LP, by the way. Title: Re: BB tattoo Post by: dudedude on April 13, 2007, 12:52:43 PM I have 2 beach boys tattoos so dont steal these
(http://www.imagecoast.com/images/dudedude/img2149.jpg)</A/> [url=http://www.imagecoast.com/](http://www.imagecoast.com/images/dudedude/img2153.jpg)</A/> but a good tip for great tattoos that most artists cant screwup too much are the tour tee shirt designs my leg was from the 82 US summer tour t-shirt my foot was free hand drawn by a great tattoo artist, ( just got it colored in so I wll post pics when it is done healing) ps tattoos on your feet dont feel good AT ALL!!!
