Guitar Frets Tattoo

Perhaps an idea for Sarah Palin?

And he still has an arm to tattoo with the G Tuning or C tuning

I have seen lots of weird tattoos but this one is one is in my top 3 weirdest list. BTW this is very nice blog :).

Definitely a weird tattoo, but one that is absolutely fitting for a musician.

As someone currently learning to play the guitar, I've been tempted to do this myself. Brilliant.

That's just such a bad idea. As a fellow guitarist I can tell you that is the equivalent of tattooing the answers to a spelling test on your arm. Really only takes about ten minutes of memorizing not 100 bucks amd a couple hours of pain.

If those notes stand for some part of a song that he favors at heart, I think it rocks.

But since I can't read those notes, I could not say.

Why would you want to spend the rest of your life looking at that on your arm?

He got all the notes for C major tattooed on himself? I mean, I've seen fretboards tattooed, with crazy headstocks and things. But the notes of a C Major scale? Come on dude.

I hope that guy doesn't gig around any serious musicians. He will now be enduring countless mean words and jokes... for the rest of his life.

If you can't be bothered to learn the basics, I don't think a tattoo is a legitimate solution.

If you have something so basic memorized, why would you want to look like you haven't?

Either way, it's not a choice I can understand without a lot more explanation...

Reminds me of the story of Dustin Hoffman and Laurence Oliver on the set of Marathon Man. In this one particular scene ("Is it safe?") Hoffman's character is meant to have been awake for days without a shower. So Hoffman decided to stay awake for days without a shower before shooting the scene. Oliver, hearing this - and no doubt put off by the younger man's odor - asked him, "Tell me son, have you ever considered ACTING?"

If you love guitar that much you'd think you'd actually try to LEARN how to play it.
