Arm Tattoos

Ash Costello

Ash Costello’s first tattoo was of a music note on the inside of her right elbow.  She chose a round whole note rather than the more commonly tattooed eighth note. This tattoo was covered by the large crow that she got on this arm in 2011.

 

My first tattoo you can’t see anymore. It was right here underneath the crow. The second I turned eighteen — that night I went out with my all friends, got a tattoo, woke my mother up at 3 am and was like “mom, I got a tattoo. I did it.” She said “No you didn’t, you’re lying.” Like “No, I did.” Poor thing.  And it’s been a running routine ever since.  Every time I get a tattoo.  But it stopped when I finally got my mom’s name tattooed on me. So I figured she couldn’t get mad at me any more and it totally worked.

Gabrielle Aplin

Gabrielle Aplin has a large tattoo on the inside of her left upper arm which says “Our dried voices, when / We whisper together / Are quiet and meaningless”. These lines come from the poem “The Hollow Men” by T.S. Eliot, which is her favorite poem as well as the inspiration for the song “Start Of Time” on her album English Rain.

On her blog, she wrote:

Start of time was inspired by my favourite poem ‘The Hollow Men – T. S. Eliot’. There’s a extract from the poem that has been embedded in my mind from the first day I read it: “Our dried voices when we whisper together are quiet and meaningless” It means lots to different people, but for me, it was about not following the crowd because people will notice one person saying one thing that’s outrageously different, than a group of people shouting the same thing over and over. I recently had this tattoo’d on to me. Start Of Time is having an idea so different and finding someone who shares the same thoughts and beliefs.

Erin Wasson

Tattooed along the back of Erin Wasson’s upper right arm are the words “this heart will start a riot in me” which are lyrics to Paramore’s song “That’s What You Get.”
