Default Jovi Tattoos - What And Where?

Who has them and what do you have? Are you planning anymore?


I have only two, Always on my left wrist and Prayer on my right. I am hoping to add to those.

I have tons of ideas for different tatts, and I don't know if I will get them all but I thought I'd run them by you guys to see what you thought:

I want:

Never Say Goodbye - likely on the back of my hand, not sure yet
The heart and dagger logo on my back
'Bon Jovi' written down my right upper arm, the font the same as that on the GH record.
A monkey tattooed on my back holding a sign that says 'Bad Medicine'

I was also thinking about getting every single Jovi album tattooed, but thinking of something to represent the album, rather than simply writing it.

For example:

The Circle - The words 'Bon Jovi The Circle' written in a circle

Lost Highway - a road leading to nowhere with the title written between the lines on the road

Crush - not sure yet, I was thinking of a blender with the letters of crush in it but then I thought that might be too hard for people to understand.

Keep The Faith - a church with a cross up the top that says These Days on it, the door of the church would have the band name

New Jersey - the NJ flag with the band name written in it

Slippery When Wet - either a yellow sign saying those words, or something that looks like skid marks (like a car out of control) with the words written in it.


For the first two albums, These Days and HAND I haven't decided.


What do you think so far? I doubt I'll be getting them all, at the moment I'm just trying to be inventive and come up with different things. I'll be definately getting the monkey, though.

I don't have any Jovi-themed ones yet, but will be getting the heart and dagger. I have quite a few other band themed tattoos - Motley Crue's Dr Feelgood logo, Life Of Agony's logo, Dan Reed Networks logo...

Jovi are my fave band but there just hasn't been anything that has really struck me relating to them that would work as a tattoo. I have decided to get the heart and dagger because there ain't a lot else that I can think of that will work. I am also going to get the silhouette of Richie Sambora from the inside of the "Stranger In This Town" album done very soon.

I would strongly recommend not to get anything that represents "Lost Highway" though, Makedde. That album should be forgotten, not immortalised in ink!

I got a replica 'Who Dares Wins' design that Richie has on his right arm done a few weeks ago as an early Christmas present.

For my 18th I'm getting Keep The Faith in the font used on the album cover on my forearm

Ugh one or two are okay but are you sure you wanna be a walking billboard for Bon Jovi? Also, since almost everyone on this board seems to be pro tattoos and/or have at least one, might you also wanna consider location. I don't know what your line of profession is but certain employers may have a negative view of you due to a few tattoos on the wrist...

If I had to get one I'd get the HAND smirk or These Day in the album font.

Oh and careful where you get them to write 'Slippery When Wet'

I have the word Faith in the KTF album font on my left ankle.

Would love the Heart & Dagger, but because there is so much detail in it I think it would have to be pretty big.

Cool - you have a picture?

I have the heart and dagger (minus the band name) on my upper right arm.
