In preparation for this class session (and my presentation), I watched so many videos of musicians being interviewed about their tattoos. I actually had a lot of fun doing this, and I found several of the musicians\u2019 statements helpful for my presentation\/paper. Something that I\u2019m not sure if I expected, but that definitely makes sense, is that many of the musicians had tattoos (either portraits, logos, or lyrics) referencing the musicians who had inspired their own work. At least two musicians (maybe more) had Nirvana-related tattoos, which is a testament to the cultural impact the band had. When I told my dad about the Nirvana tattoos, he wasn\u2019t surprised; he said that, as someone who was alive during Nirvana\u2019s skyrocket to fame, it was \u201ccrazy\u201d how much of a pop-culture mainstay they were. I also was not surprised that several musicians had objectively terrible tattoos. I think, especially before celebrity tattoo artists became more common, it was seen as cool for musicians to go to a completely random tattoo shop and get a crudely-done tattoo for the \u201crock \u2018n roll culture.\u201d I honestly love seeing peoples\u2019 \u201cbad\u201d tattoos \u2013 there\u2019s almost always a great story behind them, and the tattoos are worth something for that alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
