May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Now, you guys know I have a couple of SM tattoos…but nothing on the scale of THIS! This leg of amazing tattoos belongs to Russ Field and what an amazing job his tattooist has done! Forty years of the Simple Minds journey in one big multi tattoo display. Wow! Thank you to Russ for allowing…
I think someone MAY…begrudgingly…kind of…like it! Give me hell, Sir. Give me hell!!! Whips, mic cords, belts…I’ll take it! Grrrrr!! Lol
Love the detail of the crown! Not going to look too pretty for a while yet…but I can see it’s gonna look REAL good! And they played SM for me while it was getting done :-))
This is something of how it’ll look. It’s not EXACT (wording will be better placed on my wrist…it is the correct font they’ll use though (it’s called Timeless…nice!) and I think the “SM” initials are in the Timeless font too – not what I used here. And I am getting this exact claddagh. So…it should…
My friend, Jim (…no, not THAT one…I can keep on dreaming on, there!) sent me this link on Facebook and OMG…my body would be COVERED with Minds and Bowie songs! First one would be THIS (already a tattoo on my arm…but not like this!)… ?? Walking fan song soundbite, anyone?
Strange goings on on the old SMO visitor wall. It’s giving me a complex! Now, I don’t know if I am continually pissing him off, or there’s a rather zealous admin at work, or Facebook is glitching the fup out or what? But it started the day after Valentine’s Day. I asked Jim about clarification…
This would make a fab tattoo on the upper arm. Now to just save money and find a reputable tattooist here. ?

Rosebud with bluebird on left shoulder – Simple Minds symbols and lyric to Wonderful In Young Life on right forearm.
If I was ever to get a tattoo of Simple Minds song lyrics…it would *have* to be Wonderful In Young Life. The title on one wrist and “I’m singing memories” on the other. It just means too much to me to choose anything else :,(
