i love that lyric...very cool violet!

That's awesome.
I've been looking for years for some sort of symbol/logo/pic to get tattoed to represent the Hip, and I've found nothing.
I've never thought of a lyric before...

That is a cool tattoo. Usually I'm not a huge fan of spur-of-the-moment tattoos like that, but this one is just too cool for me to hate.

That's awesome! I suddenly feel I should somehow commemorate my 10 (11 on Wednesday) shows...

Okay, I'm seriously thinking of getting my first tat, it was a toss up whether to get the Led Zep 'zoso' symbol or something to do with the Hip... I'm thinking the latter now...

That looks cool - Good choice of lyric as well! :thumb:

You look (from your avatar) very familiar... :?

Thanks for yer comments guys!!! It kind of was spur of the moment. My friend and I were walking out of Wednesday's show and I was talking about how genius some of the lyrics are. Then I had a 'moment' where I declared my eternal love for this band and told her I was going to get the 'shade shy' lyric and got all excited. (She came with me and got an Our Lady Peace lyric!!!!).
So yeah, I really love my new tattoo (unlike my husband :lol.
Some other ones I considered for half a second were: 'everything was irridescent for a while', 'maybe love is the only virtue there is', 'this music speaks to me', 'you're gonna miss me, wait and you'll see', 'maybe love is the new maybe' and 'we'll live to survive our paradoxes'.
I didn't want to just get a symbol because there is nothing I really love apart from the maple leaf. I am not canadian so I didn't feel right about getting the leaf for some reason.
Hmmmmmm Zenith I am always getting told I look familiar haha!! I have only been to London once but that was five years ago so maybe I just have a double out there or something :wink:
Thanks again for yer comments everyone

Hey VioletLite id be interested to know what Our Lady Peace lyric your friend got tattooed on them.

---

- VioletLite - 07-22-2007

Hey triacc

My friend got 'Ordinary's just not good enough today' tattoed across her upper back from the song 'Superman's Dead'. I LOVE Our Lady Peace too. Canada has the best musicians in the world without a doubt. :thumb:

Quote:I meant my husband does not love my tattoo

Maybe he's just a shade shy of truly loving it, Yeah!

Actually, I really like the quote you chose. It's certainly better than any of these possibilities:

"Don't look at me, I'm not the artist in question"
"See the dead art and you see your reflection"
"It's so deep it's meaningless"
"I had a passion to experiment, but I was torn"
"I'm starting to fail to know what's best"
"I'm to drunk for this"
"Holy F@!K it's Jesus"

I just ran across a picture of my friend when she was pregnant last year.
Nice Hip tattoo on her prego belly - and she named the kid Gordon Edgar (now that is dedication)
