"Scorpions" tattoos

[Engel-Wegweiser]

I know there are many people who have "Scorpions" tattoo (and sometimes not only one!). When I was in Berlin, I saw many people with the picture of "logo". This topic is quite interesting for me.
This is not a secret that making tattoos is not something extraordinary nowadays. And too many people make really senseless tattoos, or those pictures that they want to remove later. Many people make a tattoo to draw their love and adoration to something, but sadly this adoration doesn't last forever, and the picture on body makes its owner angry. Why do people make this Scorpions' logo tattoo? I mean the picture we can see now at the backgroung of the forum.
I have my own story about it.
When I was 13, I wanted to have a tattoo - a logo of "Linkin Park". They were my everything, and that way I wanted to show the whole world how did I love them. Of course, my parents didn't want even to listen to me. I had a thought "When I'm 18 years old, I will definitely make this tattoo". But when I was 18, I had no which to make the logo of LP at all, because I don't love them anymore, and I didn't want to make ANY tattoo. I didn't see any sense for me in it.
Thin year, in June, I was in a very bad mood and I didn't know what to do with that. I decided to watch "Rockumentary" once again, because the story of Scorpions really inspires me. And while watching I was thinking about how they saved my life, how they made me believe in my dreams, how they gave me this philosophy of rock'n'roll, peace, love and friendship. And I had a thought which tore my mind like a bullet: "I want to make a tattoo of their "scorpion" behind my ear". That was from deep inside, and my mind started to struggle: hey, I didn't want to make a tattoo! I started to argue with myself and then decided to fall asleep - "In the morning this strange wish will fade away".
But when I woke up, I found that this wish became even stronger! I took a picture of this scorpion and came to a tattoo-salon, to as is it possible to make this picture behind my ear. I was just wondering, not planning. The master said that it's not a problem, and asked: "Will you come tomorrow in the morning to make it?" And I said "Yes" =))))))
The next day I had a tattoo.
People told me that I will definitely make another one after it, but nothing really changed in my mind. I still don't want to have another tattoo.
For me it is not a sign of love and admiration. It is a sign for myself (that's why it is almost always hidden and not many people know about it). It reminds me about my way which Scorpions made me to remember about. And it is a picture of their philosophy which became mine as well.
So that's how it is look like:

So my question to the others: what to you think about these tattoos? And do you have them yourself? Share your meanings and stories =)))))

I don't have any tattoos on my body. But maybe I will do it someday. I think it will be a Scorps' related one.

Expertly tattooed, dear Dasha! I absolutely love yours ♥
As for me, currently I have none "thanks to" the social prejudice and family discipline, but who knows, one day I will definitely have at least one!
Actually I have had ideas about my own tats, they'll be just Latin words like "Ordo ob kao" and "Quis custodiet ipsos custodies", or St.Anger (I designed it already) cuz my points of view change every now and then, so a musical theme tat won't work

Hi Dasha!!
Yes, I also have my "Scorpions" tatoo,you were able to see it by yourself in Berlin!!!
I decided to make this tatoo inside the left wrist...
Why ?As you, It's not only a question of admiration...It's rather a way to mark in a indelible way what this group will have (and still has) produced in my private life....
Indeed beyond the music,a big clarification of my life: backlashes which were indispensable but that I had still never had the courage to face...
And then, a motivation to continue on solid bases and essential values...

Hugs! JESS

i've no tatoo......i'd like to have one, but before to do it.....i want to be really sure to do it.....
my idea for my tatoo would be the "S" of the cover of the album Sting in the tail...........
the other point is.....where to do it?......
i still have to clear some doubts about it

anyway, the tatoo pic you posted is very cool!!!!

i have the scorpion of Unbreakable cover in my left shoulder

[InTranceByForce]

When I am old enough, I will probably get a Flying V tattooed on my right forearm. I might also get the Unbreakable Scorpion or just a general scorpions tattooed on one of my biceps.

Good job, Dasha! The tottoo is perfect! I don't have my own yet. It's because of 2 reasons: 1. Í'm really scary to receive disease which is transferred through blood; 2. It will be with me forever!!! I should think well over it.
But when I'll be readyit , probably, will be the citation from one of songs or, maeby, the scorpion on my anklebone.

Thank you, guys =)
Well really, many people do have the tattoos like ours, but it is almost never a sign of fanaticism or something... It is something more deep. As in my situation and many others.
And of course, before making this important step listen to the voice of your heart =)
Thank you once again for your comments =)

I had my Scorpion put on my back with lady starlight above it and 10 days later the band announced they were retiring (if thats what you want to call it).
they have been my favorite band since I was 17 and Lady Starlight since the first time I heard it long long ago has been my Favorite song.
Now I have the band with me all the time

I have a co-worker friend who is still a loyal Scorpions old-school rock fan here in N.Y. she has a Matthias Jabs tattoo up her butt FOR DECADES!, this woman is like an old-school Harley Davidson chick back in the 80's but now she has grand-childrens today, she has that Tattoo since her Savage Amusement tours 1988, until now it's still up her butt.

you mean his name or his face?

[Deleted User 13688]

I didn't understand what you said....
but did this person have a tat of Matthias' name or his face tatted going up their butt???
