pacejunkie punk Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Here’s a place to talk about the many many tattoos our boys have. It’s a topic I love because I love their ink. If anyone can upload the photos of them in progress or good closeups please do because there are loads out there. Let’s talk about which ones they have, what they might mean, when they got them, your favorites, etc. Do you think they have too many, not enough? I love that they all have matching RevRad ones now. So lets talk tats! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus of Seneca Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 One of my favorite's is probably that face on Mike's right shoulder, the one that was on the 39/smooth album cover. Still don't know what the story behind it is though. Or Jason Freese's bombs away tattoo, love that one. And they all got RevRad tats? I didn't know that. What are they? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacejunkie punk Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 I like Mike’s X-Kid one. The face from the 39 Smooth record is the one that Billie said was his first tattoo that he’s since had covered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaslight13 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 This one on the inside of his arm is one of my favorites. I really like all of his ink, and I'm pretty picky about what kind of art I like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacejunkie punk Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 ^^^ That one is really cool. I like Jason’s but all I keep thinking is how much that had to hurt getting that on his ribs. Isn’t that like the most painful place? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedundantIdiot Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 This is an old, AI era article which discusses the meanings of some of Billies tattoos. I can't find any more up to date articles about his more recent tattoos http://www.geekstinkbreath.net/greenday/article/billie-joe-a-cornucopia-of-artwork/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His right arm is so covered I didn’t notice he had Adrienne’s name there too and now I know what the Japanese means Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pouty bitch Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I can't believe that we still haven't got any clear, good quality photos of Billie's RevRad tattoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one up top is good. Then there was another one with him and Sara both showing theirs. It may be new but it’s exactly how it would look now all healed. It actually looked worse at the private show a few days later because it was seeping under the bandage and blurring the image as they tend to do until you remove it.

Didn't he have extra work done on it though? In later photos, it looked more filled in. 5 minutes ago, jengd said: Don’t they all have the EBPM one too? I think so.

No, people were saying they thought so at the private show but that was only three days after getting it. He still had the bandage on so what you were seeing was the excess ink pooling to the top as it heals. It’s normal and makes the image look blurred and filled in until you remove the bandage and wash it. The bandage stays on for 3-4 days. It would have been too soon to do more work on it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedundantIdiot Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I wish Billies Rev Rad tattoo was clearer during the Back in the USA video, but from what I can see it clearly isn't filled in any more than when he got it done in September. It's nice that we've got a video where we can see so many of his tattoos What are all the elements of Tre's right arm sleeve? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaughingClock Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 My personal favorite is his right forearm “reel” tat. Ive oft thought of getting that same one with different versions of my daughter but I think I’ll wait until she’s a little older. All my anti-GD friends would also never stop making fun of me if they figured it out. I just got my first chest tat and it says 444 (she was born at 4:44am, night owl like me) but in the shape of a heart surrounded by “Alexandra” and like a note on a staff and a heart beat. I designed it myself over the last year before I was comfortable with it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacejunkie punk Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 His left half sleeve is just so darn colorful with the clowns, cartoon baby, toy blocks, rocket ship and soccer ball. Cool look overall. I didn’t know Tre had the TV out the window as a tat, but then of course he would 😂 I know he has all those colorful mermaid and sailor motifs. 53 minutes ago, Billie Joe Armstrong said: What's male potency symbol?

Or did one of them have one version, and one have the other (the two different versions of the face on the poster up above). And who/what was Zeke?
