i also have "forget regret" tattooed on my right shoulder with some hearts under it.

"Wait, doesn't putting a comma in between the words completely invalidate the meaning of the phrase? Sort of like saying "forget" and "regret" as two separate entities, which is what a comma would imply, not one idea which is what Larson wrote."
I was thinking the same thing when I saw that. I don't know if the comma accidentally got put into the vocal selections or something (or people just are lacking in their knowledge), but it is grammatically wrong. The comma does indeed invalidate the true meaning of "forget regret."
angelxschunard: i wanted to use typevin but i ended up going with a script instead...

Aww, your's is so cute! Mine is that small, too, so it's easy to cover up with make-up for the stage and whatnot. The font I used for mine is the actual "No Day But Today" script.
And for those of you asking, there is no comma in my tattoo. Thank you for asking.

yeah, that would be typevin. i brought it to them but they said it would blow out because i couldn't get it crisp enough

This thread is super old, but it's here so I'm going to bump it up and recycle instead of making a new one!
Anywayyy, I decided to finally get my own theatre related tattoo, after MUCH deliberation and planning. It's actually my 4th tattoo, and probably the one that's most thought out. I just got it a week ago, so it's still a little red and heal-y, but it's an angel (THE angel) feather falling onto the words "more life" underneath- obviously referencing Prior's words in Angels in America.
I was thinking about the original logo of the kneeling angel at first, but it would have had to have been a lot bigger, and I wanted something moderate sized and coverup-able. (This is on my inner ankle, and I wear tights to work, so it's not a problem) I think this turned out nice and simplistic, and it has a lot of personal meaning for me. And if you're going to have a playwright's words on your ankle for the rest of your life, why not Tony Kushner?
So if anyone else has gotten a theatre related tattoo since this post originated, post it!

I would love to see photos of people's theatre mask tattoos. I've long considered getting one, but am yet to see a design that I want on my body forever. They're all a little overdone, my current tattoos are incredibly minimalist and I'd like to keep them all like that.
I've also considered getting "and then something strange happened" from Passing Strange.
I just turned 18 and all I wanted for my birthday was a small music note tattoo on my foot (and a celtic trinity knot on my hand) but my mom said absolutely not. I'm still trying to convince her though!
You gotta be original, because if you're like someone else, what do they need you for? -BP.
Nice foot tattoo- faith! Looks like it turned out very clear. I've thought about getting one on my foot, but I'm not sure I could handle the pain yet! haha- I've heard that's the most intense spot!
A Passing Strange tattoo would be really neat. Every lyric from that show is pure genius.
I had no idea Billie Joe had a JCS tattoo... that's pretty prodigious.

Once I turn 18, I will be getting a HAIR tattoo. The logo from the marquee with a peace sign on the top left of it and one on the bottom left. Lyrics on top of the logo, "Let the Sunshine In", and on the bottom, "How dare they try to end this beauty?". I have seriously put some thought into it and made probably a hundred sketches of it. Also, when I get it done, it's gonna go on my upper thigh as I hate tattoos that people have to show it off. I wanna get a tattoo done for myself, and not to show it to others.
It never ceases to amaze me that with all this discussion of tattoos, and seeing some really neat ones, I still have absolutely no desire to get one.

I hope you don't go where Arnold Ornstein of Paterson goes.
Wow, I was shocked when I found those links, because I somehow ended up near this fellow at the most recent BC/EFA Flea Market. He has added to his tattoo collection. I know it's a little creepy to take pictures of people like this, but I was just so astounded that I couldn't help myself.
Yes, those are the floating heads of the three original Billy Elliots. He also added the Memphis logo to one of his arms.
I have a HEDWIG tattoo over my heart and the Broadway FALSETTOS logo (my first ever Broadway show) on my right arm. I also have Spider-man on me left arm, but it only recently became a Broadway tattoo thanks to Taymor et al.
I wouldn't feel bad about taking the tattooed guy's picture at the Flea Market. He wouldn't have ripped a hole in his shirt exposing the tattoos unless he wanted attention drawn to them.
Who is the tattoo in the middle supposed to represent?
"What was the name of that cheese that I like?"
"you can't run away forever...but there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start"
"well I hope and I pray, that maybe someday, you'll walk in the room with my heart"
