My Mac Tattoo

Lala · #1 11-10-2009, 10:42 PM

I think I mentioned a while ago that I got the Fleetwood Mac penguin tattooed on my leg. I was just waiting to get it touched up before I posted pics. Did so about 3 weeks ago and it's nice and healed and colored evenly, so I thought I'd share.

My tattoo artist based his work on the album art from the White Album. I brought the vinyl in and he photocopied, but here is a scan for referrence...

And here's the finished product....

My artist just made a few small changes, to get the best tattoo out of it...ie. colored in the walking stick so it would look better in 15 years, skipped a few of the really fine lines/details. But I'm absolutely in love with it. This was my college grad present from my sisters, so not only does this remind me of my love of the Mac and the strength their music gives me, but also my sisters.

I have my next tattoo booked for May 2010. It will be Stevie's lyric from "Love Is" that means a lot to me..."Love is...what you believe it is" on my arm in my own writting. I'll be sure to post pictures when it's done.

Feel free to share any pictures or stories of your Mac-related tattoos here.

Looks pretty good! The artist did the right thing by making the penguin's eye wider/larger... those areas tend to "bleed" together as the tattoo ages.

I really, really like it! Congrats

I loooooooove your penguin. It looks like its a really good size and I think your artist did a realy good job with it.

I just got a Mac tattoo too!

I'm obsessed. It's on my left hip. I got it with LikeAWillow who got the Enchanted feather on her foot when we went.

Down the side of my foot.. some day I will stop being a chicken and just get it!

If they release a new album and tour again, I swear I'll have it when they come back to Ireland..

Lindsey says he doesn't read music. I wonder if he'd even know what it was if he saw it. How ironic if he wouldn't. I'm not sure about John.

See, it totally makes sense now that you told me. I can read music if it's put in context. Ha!

That's a wicked idea

You should go for it! It might hurt but only for a little while ....

A friend of mine does tattoos in Waterford, I could put you in touch with him if you like?
