It seems like I have thought of getting one several times in the last 15-16 years.

At 19, I was contemplating a "Boys will be Beastie" tat. About 5 years ago I was going to get this logo:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/sis.html?_nkw=BEASTIE%20BOYS%20CHALLAH%20YOUR%20BO Y%20GIRLS%20T%20SHIRT%20XL%20NEW%20&_itemId=230641020080

minus the "Beastie Boys" and the slogan below. My career involves basketball and I thought it would be cool on the inside of my forearm. Never did it.

Now, I'm thinking about getting a "Long Burn the Fire" tat of some type but haven't thought of the design. I'm probably too damn old for tats now anyway.

I had already decided weeks ago that I would get a portrait of Yauch, small one.. nothing crazy. I just want something that represents his spirit and kindness and then I'll add a lyric with it. A friend of mine told me she could get me to the best place Houston has to offer. I want somebody that knows their shit on portraits.
I say you're never too old. Do what is in your heart.

My brother went out and got a "Time for Livin'" tattoo above his heart. After I had mention that's more a Mike D song he said it was for message of the song and the life and inspiration of Adam. I agreed and now I'm considering doing the same thing.

Also for years I've been trying to come up with a mural sleeve on my leg with images of things through out their career an my growing up with them.

It's a hell Yauch tribute; he had to teach Mike D the arrangement. Good choice, I say. (y)

I've been tossing around ideas for something to honor yauch for a few days.

I'm thinking of "WWMCAD?" on my wrist... the answer ofcourse being do something to positively influence and impact the world around you.

OK thanks. I have another one in mind but he's much younger. Hmmm. God girl my photo contact emailed me out of the blue and said that she was so sad for me and sent her condolences. I hardly know her, she just gets me photos I need but it's sweet. She then told me that she's going to unearth every Adam photo she can possibly find and send my way. She's already sent me some funny shots of him on the set of "She's on it!" His face is all caked with explosion lol. And then she sent me a set of him in the lab. I will hopefully get all of that updated soon in the gallery.

Also if anybody has personal photos you want to showcase at beastieboysgallery.com please let me know. I've set up a tribute category to store fan photos and other tributes we find on our Man MCA.

I have been thinking about getting a BBoys tattoo for yonks, but never could decide what to choose. They've changed logos so many times, but recently I've been thinking the Cey's one (that paulb's got), but colourful like the graffiti resently done.
Then it hit me this morning.

Darkness is not the opposite of light, it's the absence of light...

....not totally original since others have, but it's been my fav Beastie-image since CYH, and I have no regrets....have never thought twice about getting it as I've gotten older. Means even more to me now.

Thought about getting Hornblower. A crazy-eyed wacky Nathaniel H. would be just obscure enough for my taste. Maybe....

Personally, I'd go with 'A Year and a Day.'

2nd "a" shouldn't be capitalized.

Cool, thanks. I thought the song was called Year and a Day but I only ever read the cassette liners for PB and haven't done so in more than 15 years. (y)

EDIT: I'm totally jacking Paulb's idea - three HSC heads, interlayed in a cycle sort of like John Bonham's Led Zeppelin insignia, with 'A Year and a Day' around it. Yauch's won't be the top head, because visually they were never really like that, even if he were the brains behind lots of it. Actually, that is a design issue to consider.........

Anyway, I'll probably do this.

Nice.

I have three non-Beastie tats. I've essentially been forbidden to get any more. Restated, if I go get another tat the husband would totally stress.

That said, if I had the option, I'd go with the PWR2MCA image using the purple/pink/green. Otherwise, I'd want whatever the Tibet symbol for "Adam" is (if there is such a thing). Perhaps in the Tibetic (or Bodic) language.

I have no idea how that would look.

Can anyone figure it out? Reference http://library.thinkquest.org/26470/language.htm

Last year I quit my miserable (big money making) job that was literally destroying me to backpack around the world on my own and get my life back. It was the best year of my life and changed me forever. I've always toyed with the idea of getting a tattoo but it's a big deal for me and I just could never could think of anything significant enough in my life that I wanted to pay tribute to it forever on my body.

However, as I neared the end of my journey I decided that I wanted to get something tattooed on me as a reminder of the things I have learned about myself so that I don't stray too far as I get back into the routine of a "normal" life. Yauch passed just a few days after my trip ended, and the absolute devastation I felt made me realize how big of an impact that the Boy's had on me. As I was looking through my "diary" entries towards the end of my trip and re-reading my summarization on the whole experience the message hit me like a punch in the face:

"Be true to yourself and you will never fall"

Now I'm just toying with the idea of either just having it tattooed on me as normal cursive text, in something very beastie-esque (like the "Check your Head" font), or something more artsy that plays on the literal words of the message (really dumb example off the top of my head, but like Wile-E Coyote saying it as he's standing in thin air having just walked off a cliff - before looking down, of course, lol).

Any ideas my Beastie Bretheren? Would really appreciate any input...

Probably going to get it up my side because I work in an industry where a professional appearance is crucially criticized, so I feel this spot would have the least chance of being seen through a white dress shirt.

I love this thread! I am toying with the idea of Beasties tattoo, but not really sure what I would get, I will probably have to let the idea run around in my head for a bit longer until something pops up.

Last year I quit my miserable (big money making) job that was literally destroying me to backpack around the world on my own and get my life back. It was the best year of my life and changed me forever. I've always toyed with the idea of getting a tattoo but it's a big deal for me and I just could never could think of anything significant enough in my life that I wanted to pay tribute to it forever on my body.

However, as I neared the end of my journey I decided that I wanted to get something tattooed on me as a reminder of the things I have learned about myself so that I don't stray too far as I get back into the routine of a "normal" life. Yauch passed just a few days after my trip ended, and the absolute devastation I felt made me realize how big of an impact that the Boy's had on me. As I was looking through my "diary" entries towards the end of my trip and re-reading my summarization on the whole experience the message hit me like a punch in the face:

"Be true to yourself and you will never fall"

Now I'm just toying with the idea of either just having it tattooed on me as normal cursive text, in something very beastie-esque (like the "Check your Head" font), or something more artsy that plays on the literal words of the message (really dumb example off the top of my head, but like Wile-E Coyote saying it as he's standing in thin air having just walked off a cliff - before looking down, of course, lol).

Any ideas my Beastie Bretheren? Would really appreciate any input...

Probably going to get it up my side because I work in an industry where a professional appearance is crucially criticized, so I feel this spot would have the least chance of being seen through a white dress shirt.

My two cents: just a purist Beastie font (CYH?)

If I may ask (since you were sharing the story): you write about a job that was destroying you at the beginning and then again about a job in which you're being judged on appearance at the end. I was slightly surprised because it almost seemed to me as if it was the same job. So I'm curious: did your trip end up making you feel like you could cope again, or is it a different job that you do enjoy and the appearance thing is only a minor issue? You don't have to answer, of course.

I sorta think Im leaning towards getting the 86/87 Beasties diamond logo. Should we pick a day and all get tattoos? Mass-Beasties tattoo day... could be awesome.
great idea, but I promised my husband I'd wait a few months to prove i'm not being impulsive lol...my hubs totally stresses over tats, too. But I haven't been able to settle on a design either. I want something whimsical, because their sense of humor and not taking themselves too seriously is one of the things i love most about our boys. My latest idea is a beastie-esque emoticon with a big check on the forehead...thoughts?

Okay so I had the photo all picked out but when I went in for my consultation, I was told by the artist that the shadowing was going to make it look weird on me. This guy is a professional. I loved how he immediately said NO. He had a lot of awards hanging on the wall which I liked, but the guy he was tattooing while talking to me was squirming around in pain. I am scared but my friend who was with me said guys are wimps and I can handle it. Fuck it I am gonna do this. FINALLY found the perfect photo that I think he will approve so I am getting this done soon!!!!!!!!!! So excited!

I would hope you'd go to a professional, but by stating this, it makes it seem like you are implying that the other people with tattoos did not. And there were awards? Just seems a rather smug statement like you're trying to one-up everyone else's.

Jesus fuck Dong it's my first tattoo, calm the hell down. I meant nothing by that other than just sayin he was a professional. I could have went somewhere where they could have said yes and then done a shitty job. It's my understanding there are places out there like that too.

I'm thinking of getting one in NYC this weekend during the event. My cuzin said she might drive me up if her boyfriend will let her. Anyone have a tattoo on their inside wrist? Just wondering how much it hurts.

I'm going in tomorrow for my consultation with my artist. I've decided to do a chest piece and use images from their career. I'm crazy
