Listening to the recent Johnny Winter box set again this week I was reminded how good his early '90s song "Illustrated Man" is and then it had me thinking of other songs (and albums & artists, too) about tattoos...or at least featuring references to them. Here's what I came up with so far (and just for the record, I don't have any tattoos myself).

Songs:
"Illustrated Man" - Johnny Winter
"I'm No Angel" - Gregg Allman ("Come & let me show you my tattoo")
"Tattooed Love Boys" - Pretenders
"Into The Great Wide Open" - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers ("He met a girl out there with a tattoo too")
"Tattoo" - The Who
"Sweet Painted Lady" - Elton John
"Tattooed Millionaire" - Bruce Dickinson

Albums:
Tattoo You - The Rolling Stones
The Tattooed Heart - Aaron Neville
Tattooed Millionaire - Bruce Dickinson

Artists:
Rose Tattoo

Should I delete this thread before Jimbo's goons come to "talk some sense into me"?

Tattoo by Gordon Lightfoot.

And speaking of tattoos, here's a fun retort for all you fellow geezers next time some youngun asks you how old you are: Old enough to remember when getting a tattoo was an act of rebellion, not conformity!
