I'm sure there are plenty of willing people.

Which logo and where on my body? I could go for a nice tasteful Miss Saigon on my hip, but no amount of money would get Jersey Boys on my forehead.

I guess if it's advertising, the hip is probably out... :/

totally depends on the show. I think it'd be pretty awesome to rock an OBC Follies or A Little Night Music tattoo.

I would sooo get the SWEENEY TODD original show logo on my bicep.

I guess I have to wait for another revival.

While a tattoo can be tasteful I'd never put one on my face. Ever. If you get tired of it there's absolutely no way of hiding it

what of that girl who got...was it Stephanie J. Block as Elphaba tattooed on her back? now I find that a little odd.

some show logos (Miss Saigon is actually a really good example) are pretty stylized and could make awesome and unique tattoos. I've seriously considered getting a tattoo of Sondheim lyrics, and if I was able to find a tattoo artist who could capture all the detail (and if I was willing to devote enough body space) of the tree in the OBC A Little Night Music logo, I would be all over that.

it definitely depends on the show.. i would get the legally blonde logo on my upper hip or maybe young frankenstein on my shoulder but i would never get one like jersey boys(since i really never seen it and don't plan on it.. even though my sister's friend's great uncle is fankie valli and some songs are good, but not interested.)

If you read the link to which the link links you will see that they are talking about temporary tattoos.

i'm with others... Miss Saigon's logo is really the only one that can work as a tattoo since most people already get asian inspired writing/pics on their body...

i would think that the phantom mask could work for someone or possibly the Rent logo (for those people where Rent really changed their lives... it would make sense)...

Also, there's no mention of Broadway in link linked by the link, so I don't think any of you should get your hopes up any time soon.

Not that I'd be getting a tatoo, but agreed, it would highly relate to the show's logo. Woman in White's, Saigon's (as mentioned), even Les Mis would be interesting...but LB? YF? A Tale of Two Cities? I can't say I'd want one with words specifically..>!

I love tattoos and depending on the show and body part, would do it! Especially if they're temporary.

A thousand bucks to wear a temporary tattoo for a month? Why the heck not?

The tattoos the article is talking about are temporary. For that kind of money, why not? $1000 for basically doing nothing? Hell yeah.
