Anyone out there have a DBT tattoo??
I'm really thinking about getting me a Drive-By Truckers tattoo as i dig Wes Freeds art in a big way, and of course because its Drive-By Truckers!
Kinda thinkin about have the monkey riding the Mike Cooley bird on the TBTD front cover, in colour too of course.
Give me a shout, im interested to hear if anyone here has one and which one do you have?
Any pics?

I have to say, I think it's a bad idea to have a monkey permanently etched on your skin.

I don't have any tattoos, but just the plain Cooley Bird would be pretty rad
concur
I've never taken a pissbreak during a DBT show but if I had it would have been during Dancing Ricky.

my best friend was seriously going to get "A World Of Hurt" across his stomach like that - he's got "the dirty south" on his arm (for DBT) - he got it in county and it's horrible

I have the Cooley Bird. The one enclosed in the circle. Got it about 3 months ago... my first and likely last. I love it and all it represents.

I've got kind of a combination of the front cover art with the cover of the Big To-Do book. Here's a pic from when it was fresh:
I kinda have a thing for the Cooley Bird & Wes Freed...

Re: Anyone out there have a DBT tattoo??
I thought it was time we brought this thread back, mainly because I wanted to show off my ink.
Outline:
Halfway done:
Full color:
My ink guy told me he could make the Cooley Bird darker if I wanted it, but he (and I) thought it looked good with those colors. I was originally also going to get the band name, but decided to leave it at the quote.
When I was showing this to some folks I met at the rock show in Atlanta, they said they also had some DBT ink. Love to see more on here!

Re: Anyone out there have a DBT tattoo??
That's awesome, Kev! Anyone else got any new stuff? I've got an all day booked for June 5th to get my whole forearm done (hopefully) and finish 90% of my left arm sleeve of Freed. Pics to come.

Can't wait to see it, Roland! Your tats are an inspiration!
Re: Anyone out there have a DBT tattoo??
I just got a Cooleybird - like the current sticker on tour while I was down in Athens...it was the place next to the 40 Watt...my first ink ever, DBT and in Athens, I'm from Iowa...went to the two Patterson shows and then DBT, wow, I had a good time!
Put that drinking jacket on and enjoy a little fun...
