Manics Tats

I was thinking today that I may get a tattoo. I've never been a fan of them but I want to make a few chanegs in my life at the moment and I thought a tattoo might be cool. Anyway, I was wondering what tattoo is it that James has on his arm? I might get one like Richey had, with Generation Terroritsts on....saying all this I most probably won't end up getting one done!

James' is "Anxiety is Freedom", across a heart.

im also thinking of having one , not sure of what or where i was toying of the obvious but without the words useless generation or generation terrorists but cant decide what txt to have, a friend suggested Manic Street Preachers along the back in holy bible/satt font. I have the london calling fig on my right leg with The Clash from the 1st album txt and the man city badge on my right arm and next im thinking of the Prince logo maybe just on my ankle tho! tats are hard to decide but are cool

my advice tho is they dont hurt like you'd expect but just dnt get addicted (coz they can be) i had my 1st last May and have 4 a mate that i went with when we both had our 1st now has a srine to Killing Joke on his back and now has 14

I don't know...it's just an idea I'm toying with. The Manics have been my favourite band for nearly 10 years now and they mean a lot to me. It wouldn't be like people who get their partners names done and then they split soon after (oh that comment has made me sad again). I might just get a simple "Manic Street Preachers" text done. I know nothing about tattoos though, so don't know how you go about getting something custom you want doing.

I have two manics tattoos.

across the bottom of my back in bold print i have 'USELESS GENERATION' and on my right forearm i have 'Little Baby Nothing', without fail people love the latter.

i have thought about having 'all we love is lonely wreckage' tattooed as well. of the tattoos i have (5) my manics ones means the most to me,and in my opinion, tattoos should mean something, not be generic.

As my mum always said, only get a tattoo if you want to look like a council house family sat by the side of the pool at Butlins...

Talk about stereotyping.

Tattoos do hurt - a lot - so I recommend that you are very sure before you get one. Also of course, you are going to have it for a long time - I love mine (non-Manics one) but you have to be very certain you like what you pick.

It's at this point that you remember that the majority of manics fans are middle class wankers.

As long as you know its going to last forever and that when you're 50 you might not want "useless generation" or something like that on your arm.

Having said that ive always had an urge to get Richeys one from GT.
