Pink Floyd Tattoos

Asia Argento

Asia Argento tattooed her right hand knuckles with the names of four of her artistic idols:

  • “Joe” is for painter Joe Coleman, who is a friend and collaborator of hers. He has painted portraits of Asia and also acted in her 2000 directorial debut Scarlet Diva.
  • “Syd” is for Syd Barrett, a musician and painter who was one of the founding members of Pink Floyd.
  • “Moz” is for singer/songwriter Morrissey
  • “Bob” is for singer/songwriter Bob Dylan

She got the “Bob” tattoo first in February 2014 and then added the remaining three in April 2014.  All of the names were tattooed by artist Michele Agostini.

The “Syd” tattoo serves double duty as it also represents her friend Sydney Zekley. Syd has a tattoo of Asia’s name along the side of her finger.

Evan Rachel Wood

Evan Rachel Wood has a diamond and swirls on the inside of her right ankle, covering up a previous tattoo. It’s inspired by the songs “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” by Pink Floyd and “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” by The Beatles.

Her original tattoo had the same theme but was more ambiguous. It was a combination of a strawberry and a bird with a tiny diamond next to it, representing The Beatles songs’ “Strawberry Fields Forever,” “Blackbird,” and “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.”  She got the tattoo after acting in the musical film Across the Universe based on the music of The Beatles. However the tattoo was too detailed for its small size.  She told People “Nobody can figure out what it is. It’s supposed to be a strawberry with leaves in the shape of a bird, but everybody says, ‘Is that a ferret sticking out of an apple?'”

With the cover-up she narrowed it down to just one theme and went for a clear and obvious shape.
