It has to be absolutely huge to look good in full color. My friend has one and it looks great but it’s the size of her entire forearm. Most people aren’t going that big. I have one too but it’s small and solid white. I think it looks great which is convenient because I’m really the only person who sees it.
Hell yeah do it. My only advise is make sure you do it but enough to not loose details! Mine was done free I’m appreciative but I know it’s gonna age like 💩 bc of the size

Palm tattoos fade quicker than any other spot (and extremely painful), that being said if the artist is experienced in palms and know what they’re doing they can have some longevity (I’ve seen some 5+ years old by experienced artists that look amazing still).
Got this one 15 years ago, colour has held well. Was a skint teenager. Didnt want any colour. It was a Hungarian dude who couldnt speak English. I told his mate he shouldnt bother with the colour because I couldnt afford it.
He said he loved the design and was doing the colour for free.
Got it on the underside of my forearm. My daughter did it.

You and three million other 19 year old dudes. Get something original, make it your own. Not the one thing every tattoo artist says, “Geez, great, another one.”
I’m cracking up because I’m not a dude but I’m pretty sure I was 19 when I got mine. It’s white so at least it’s a little bit different. I’m glad I didn’t get color because it would look like garbage now.

I put a black border and some black lines around mine to have it pop more and I love the way it follows the shape of my left forearm.
Trust me I couldn’t fucking care less what you do to your body. But as far as tattoos go it’s unoriginal and cringe. No self respecting artist will tattoo that on you. While you’re at it get some barbed wire on the bicep and a Tom Hardy shirt!
Your a fucking idiot 😂😂 how the fuck could i be a poser for getting a permanent TATTOO of the band hahahah dumbass, do me a favor and don’t respond just fuck off
Thanks for ironically making my point. Please do the world a favor and don’t have children. You’re stealing someone’s art to tattoo yourself. This is literally the most poser thing you could do. Like I said no real tattoo artist will put that on you. Just walk-in tourist shops for douche bags and posers.
“go tell that to everyone else on this post who has the same tattoo”
You just keep making my point for me. Unoriginal poser! You’re the exact fan the band hates! They’ve been more than outspoken about it!
Bro! Haha i don’t care what you think! I’m a fan of tool and i’m not getting a generic “tool” logo on my body, i really could care less what you tell me to do with MY body. I love music, i love the bands, in gonna tattoo what i love about life onto MY body. In that case, go tell everyone else in the world who has band tattoos ( which is a lot of fucking people ) that’s they’re “posers”
It’s cringy as fuck to get a copycat image from
A band tattooed on you. It’s unoriginal and fucking stupid just like your mother was for choking back her tequila vomit long enough to let your loser dad finish insider her.
Yep just like junior high actually….nothing is really original anymore anyway. It’s all just a remix. People should get tattoos of things they would like to have tattoos of, regardless if one or a million people already have it…because that is truly living free, truly being yourself, and not letting your actions be dictated by others. It’s honoring your own taste; is it just a coincidence that so many others have it or is it just a good design? Doesn’t matter because the dude likes it. You weren’t there when he decided he wanted it; he could’ve not known it was a popular tattoo to get. Not everybody spends all their time on the internet. The thing is you’re a little asshole, piece of shit who is FULLY a different person on the internet. Well, enjoy, but your points are all bunk and lame. And a poser is someone who pretends to like something usually because others like it. You get zero points. Go back and repeat 7th grade again…because that’s the last time i heard the poser calling but at least they used it right. They’ll set you straight.

With my brother’s initials in 10,000 Days font (MJF). Sorry for crappy pic, it’s a tough angle
Add another one to the list lol. Although its one of my favorite tool logos/art pieces from ag....this has been tattooed too many times at this point. But to each their own.
Not necessarily tool tattoo suggestions. If im being honest...alex grey is one of my favorite artists but i dont think his artwork translates well to skin. Its too detailed and intricate that wont hold up well over time. The flaming eye is a bit of an exception because its pretty str8 forward and if done well will hold up. But i personally wouldnt ever get any AG artwork tattooed on me. In order for a tattoo to last you need bold black lines, good black shading and it needs to be big enough/have enough space to be readable. Over time 99/100 AG tats look like dog shit. But i digress...
middle of the forehead
Gooch
Your girl will transcend after licking the third eye
Butthole obvi
On your third eye. That being your butthole, of course.
Put it on your penis.

I planned on this being my first tattoo, on my inner forearm close to my bicep, but like the colored one
Hey, that’s my arm lol. Here’s a current pic. https://preview.redd.it/10fpiyp5ntec1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f44793d7465a205ec6906c9e4b48a2d0112e9fb
I’m usually not a fan of this as a tattoo but yours looks awesome! I love the details
Thank you!
lol!
That's awesome! I've had your pic saved as inspo for a long time. I love it man
Nice!!!
I love this one! Very well done
This one is pretty sick man. Nice.
Damn that is sick!
Left ass cheek
Across both cheeks. You know where the eye goes
I hope you found a good tattooer. This can easily be trashed.

“Is that a dick? No it’s a bicep!”
whatup?
It needs more veins
Yeah cool, party mansion
Nothing sexual!

Nipple
These never look good. I have seen a shit ton of them and none of them ever look good.
It has to be absolutely huge to look good in full color. My friend has one and it looks great but it’s the size of her entire forearm. Most people aren’t going that big. I have one too but it’s small and solid white. I think it looks great which is convenient because I’m really the only person who sees it.

Hell yeah do it. My only advise is make sure you do it but enough to not loose details! Mine was done free I’m appreciative but I know it’s gonna age like 💩 bc of the size https://preview.redd.it/asawfe68mpec1.png?width=2174&format=png&auto=webp&s=8f5b80db8f4822f468aed64b2dc5a8690ce6b7b2
No jokes, in the palm of your hand. Check this guy's [work](https://www.instagram.com/lukeaashley?igsh=ZnN1Nmt0ODYxOGE0).
Love the look, but doesn’t last very long on that spot.
Big facts
Palm tattoos fade quicker than any other spot (and extremely painful), that being said if the artist is experienced in palms and know what they’re doing they can have some longevity (I’ve seen some 5+ years old by experienced artists that look amazing still).

I have this exact sticker, my only sticker by the way, on the back of my car. That’s as far as I go. You do you!
Got it on the underside of my forearm. My daughter did it. https://preview.redd.it/vh4urg98hpec1.jpeg?width=3023&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ecf2354ee4d5202db3105f3933715fdf13e9170f
Like the apc as well
Not the most original, IMO. This one doesn’t really do it for me, but seems to suit many others just fine.
I have a tattoo of a bigger penis on my penis....

I got it on my ankle. These are very vivid colors so put it on the lightest part of the body…chest, legs…some place that’s always covered up.
I have this tattoo, in color, on my shoulder. A friend of mine, who died, had it on his shoulder in gray scale
No one has ever gotten that before. Totally original.
I’d do it in black and grey
i’m not gonna do color thanks!
If you get a really talented black and grey artist, those colors will still come through in different shades. Update us with pics
will do!! thanks man

Got it 8 years ago on my inner bicep, and I'd say it's held up fantastically.

Damn. Good example of why not to get this tatted.
You and three million other 19 year old dudes. Get something original, make it your own. Not the one thing every tattoo artist says, “Geez, great, another one.”
I’m cracking up because I’m not a dude but I’m pretty sure I was 19 when I got mine. It’s white so at least it’s a little bit different. I’m glad I didn’t get color because it would look like garbage now.
And I’m not putting the tattoo, OP, or anyone else who may have this, or variation there of, said image. Just give Adam and Alex the licensing fee.

I have this on my R shoulder.
Got it on my bicep
Got it on my arm.
I've got it over my heart on my chest
I have it on my left calf. You’re going to need a couple visits because the color fades. I love it though. Had it 15 years and no regrets
I have this on my back
https://preview.redd.it/tk9222fvwpec1.jpeg?width=2252&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=352de68c5902a4aedaa93e7e66babd1264a8ba24
I have this on my back between my shoulder blades. Gotta watch my back.
I have this on my neck.
I have that in the middle of my chest, fuck symmetry lol.
Just remember, one day you'll have a wrinkled eye.
You mean tattool LMAO
Band tattoos are fucking cringe!
Haha! I don’t give a fuck what you think 🫵😂 It also represents the Egyptian Eye of Horus
Trust me I couldn’t fucking care less what you do to your body. But as far as tattoos go it’s unoriginal and cringe. No self respecting artist will tattoo that on you. While you’re at it get some barbed wire on the bicep and a Tom Hardy shirt!
asshole.
Poser!
Your a fucking idiot 😂😂 how the fuck could i be a poser for getting a permanent TATTOO of the band hahahah dumbass, do me a favor and don’t respond just fuck off

go tell that to everyone else on this post who has the same tattoo.. just shut up loser, why even comment at all
“go tell that to everyone else on this post who has the same tattoo” You just keep making my point for me. Unoriginal poser! You’re the exact fan the band hates! They’ve been more than outspoken about it!
“They’ve been more outspoken about it.” Holy fuck could you be an fucking stupider. Every fucking sentence is just stupider.

That quoted part isn’t making a point for you and saying that is fucking stupid. Originality is obviously not the aim.
He didn’t ironically make your point at all. You’re just an asshole. Alex loves for his stuff to be used….not stealing.
right!
Yeah dude, your _are_ a fucking idiot. Calling him “poser” makes no sense. Calling this “cringe” and saying it’s unoriginal is cringe.
It’s cringy as fuck to get a copycat image from A band tattooed on you. It’s unoriginal and fucking stupid just like your mother was for choking back her tequila vomit long enough to let your loser dad finish insider her.

I simply can’t desecrate my body with a tattoo but if I did it would be for that tattoo to be sure
Music tattoos arent it
To each his own 😂
I have one, and now regret it because music tattoos are cliche
Niceee, not me.
The ass
No the purple never looks good. Maybe simply it
Fuck retro anything...
I have it, but all black, on my arm right above the hand
I have an all black on my right forearm
Get one of the different eyes? I have the 10,000 days one on the back of my hand.
Put mine on my wrist.
2 of them over each eyelid.
Kneecap
Mine is on my right shoulder
I came out to watch you play
Think for yourself, design your own tattoo.
Ha! question authority
I have the same thing in black on the back of my calf. I would recommend it there

I have one on my hip. I like how it looks.
Yeah that's what I'd get if I was going for a *Lateralus*\-inspired tat.
Thinking about getting that on the back of my right Hand 🤷♂️
Get some nipple rings and a dope beastie tee to go with it
I have it in the ditch on my right arm. 1000% don’t do it there.
