Deep Purple in Rock & Ink
Bear with me this needs context.
Just had to deliver a Harley Davidson to a Customer who need to make his illegal bike Legal.
This guy is an accountant,in his late 30s and lives in Barcelona's richest neighbourhood and reminds me of Arthur Daley's accountant Andrew (Royce Mills). Very well spoken and not very well built. Anyway,Whilst explaining what we'd done he decided to take off his shirt so as not to get oil on a very expensive Polo shirt.
As he turned around i was totally amazed to see he had the cover of "Deep Purple in Rock" Tattooed on his back (Without the lettering). It covered all his back and was a beautiful piece of work.Then followed a Sabbath or Purple debate over cold drinks.
Don't worry you won't be held to this,but if you had to have an album cover tattooed on your back or over body part what would it be ?
Off the top of my Head probably something like this

'The Beatles' for preference
Actually, given the hairiness of my back someone could probably create a reasonable facsimilie of the new Kasabian cover with a little judicious shaving.
Is this you at the football?
The OP...
...is the synopsis for a homo-erotic porn film, isn't it?
I don't like tattoos
but if I had to have one I'd consider this:
Someone is bound to say the White Album...
... but for me, I'll go for a slightly obvious classic cover.
I'll have the central wavy-line motif of Unknown Pleasures, if you don't mind.
It may be cheating, but I'm going to have it in reverse - black-on-white (there's no way I'm going to sit through all that colouring-in).
no album title, y'say, just the artwork...
I'm not mad about needles, so i'll go for this, ta...
No ink on me
but I'd go for Tales From Topographic Oceans.
Bad acne
So it'd have to be The Stone Roses.
Sorry if you're having your tea.
To go with my other tattoos
the cover art for The Natch'l Blues by (yes, it's him again!) Taj Mahal would actually be rather perfect.
Otherwise the birds from Edwyn Collins' album Losing Sleep could look nice if you placed a couple of them somewhere, together or in separate spots.
