VH Tattoos

**Smokin' 5150** · 03.05.02, 02:55 PM

Although I find the discussion regarding DLR v. Sammy and how much shit does Ed actually have for brains as lively as ever, here's a question:

Does anyone have decent pictures of any of the tattoos of current or former VH and VH related musicians. I know that Ed, Mike, Dave and Steve Vai all have tats.

I am looking to get one soon and would like to see if I could find any inspiration from VH.

if you are getting a tattoo, get something that means something to you. i have one tattoo now and it has my sons names in a heart with a ribbon, never put a girls name for a tattoo its bad luck thats what i hear anyway. once you get one you will want another, i'm gonna be getting another soon. so take your time and think what you want its for life.

I've got the Sammy-era VH logo on my right bicep. Took the graphic right off the cover of Greatest Hits Vol.I. Haven't seen too many other people willing to support their favorite band this way. Someday hope to have all four original members sign it, or maybe get a pic w/ Ed and his... [img]graemlins/devil.gif[/img]

Only one I know of bro, is this.

Thats eds. The other fella is our very own Roshambo. One of the luckiest bastads on the planet, to have that picky. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

There are some VH tatoo pics at my site (hmmm...shameless plug [img]smile.gif[/img] )

Just head to the museum and check out the tatoos. (I've only got about 4 pics....let me know if you have any more I can post)

This is one of the cooler VH tattoos I've seen:

This was just some random guy we met at the DLR concert in Seattle last September; Chelle snapped this photo. The photo really doesn't do it justice. If you're having trouble seeing it, it's the VH logo with Dave standing in it (the cool pic of Dave from the 'Van Halen I' album sleeve, where he's bending over backwards).

Wow! You'd REALLY have to love VH to have that slightly homo-erotic tat of DLR "bending over backwards" indelibly emblazoned on yer arm.

By the way, G-Shark - where was the photo taken and why is everybody sittin' on their fat asses? I didn't see anyone sittin' down at the Bumbershoot show.

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!

Lance you are missed around here. I should have mentioned that I am not a fan of tattoos, and even if I was, an image of Dave in a compromising position is not one I would choose.

The photo was taken about 45 minutes before the show. We had just arrived and were basically camped out about ten feet in front of the stage. That dude just happened to be sitting there.

P.S. to DLR's Cock -- don't worry man, by the time the show started, everyone was on their feet clapping and cheering wildly for the MIGHTY DIAMOND DAVID LEE ROTH!

Well, you certainly are one lucky bastard! Good for you!

I don't have a VH tattoo. The tattoo I have is just this skin-toned dealy that covers my whole entire body and is only broken up by some blue lines in it and a few other marks here 'n there - looks damn near realistic!

**paradiddle** · 03.06.02, 12:07 PM

Sure, I'm a show off...

After all that pain, how can I not be.

So which part of the cover should I do next, y'all? I'm thinking the little girls, or the dude getting kicked out into the snow by the angry stepfather...suggestions?

Something I found on wrif.com. A pic of me on there website showing my tat.

I got the same one on my arm in red and black and it looks AWESOME!
Always get compliments on my loyalty to the great VH!!!
