Cool What's that with John's penguin tattoo

I asked myself several times but i'm not able to answer that (those 2) questions.

1. Why a penguin ( it's cute, but Why)
2. Why a tattoo?
Can somebody answer that??

Will

I can tell you why it's a penguin anyway-John loves 'em. He used to go to the London zoo just to see 'em. He had a boat called the Adelie-a kind of penguin.
I don't know why the tattoo though

He said he did it in an 'afternoon of complete delirium'; he thought it was such a 'graphic animal'. Cute tattoo though.

Now i like penguins aswell. Allready have a great collection.
There truly cute, but,......

there getting killed at the coast of Argentina where fishermen are busy gettin' illegal fish. They do that at night in the dark. Greenpeace already signed everybody. The fishermen want octopussy, and what do pinguins and dolphins eat,....... exactly. Octopussy.
But Argentina is bankrobbed, so they not seem to care.


Thanks for those 2 answers,

Cool Gentoo

Gentoo is other kind of penguin.
See Gentoo Music in the credits of the Rumours and white albums. I think it's the company Mick & John created for registering songs.

Yes, John adore penguins.

OCTOPUSSY? Does that animal exist? I always knew octopus, and I thougt ocotpussy was just the James Bond movie title.

It's an octopussy a kind of octopus? A new word for my english.

You're so right, but in my opinion octopussy sounds more friendly.
And yes, it is a Bond movie (from 1983).

BTW gentoo's are pinguins, living in south Africa and Antartica. But people moselikely think that these beautiful creaters are one of a kind.

John also has another tattoo on his right hand; of which I cannot tell what it is. Sometimes it looks like a star, sometimes like a bird of some sort. Here's the picture of when I met him last September.
