I found your excellent website when I did a Google search for 'Smashing Pumpkins Tattoo'.
I got mine done last October 2003, I'd been planing on getting it done for the last few years but was waiting for the right time as I wanted it on my wrist (so I could literally wear my heart on my sleeve ; )
I've been a fan of the band since 1994 when I heard Today on a British TV show called the 'Chart Show'. I was 15 years old and ready for band to change my life, I've been to almost all the UK Gigs the Band has played and they still inspire me to this day. I'm planning on getting 'stand inside your love' down the remaining free length of my forearm. I will have to be careful as I have 2 full 3/4 length Jap Style sleeves Tattoo'd already and I don't want it to look too crampt.
Being a Guitarist its really cool to represent for the Pumpkins with this Tattoo clearly visible on my picking hand wrist, Pumpkins Army represent!!!!
The Tattoo has drawn a lot of comments but I was sure about it before I even got it done.
It was Tattoo'd for free by Andy Booth who owns Pointed Image Tattoo Studio in Watford, UK.
