has anyone ever seen or heard of a tattoo vendor at bonnaroo? i know it might not be the most sanitary place to get some work done but it would definitely add to the memories of roo and that piece.

Would be cool but I doubt it considering regulations tat artists have to go through. The artist who does my work says it can be a pain in some states. not sure about TN though. Plus, there's the whole "can't tattoo someone under the influence" of anything so that could be a small problem at Roo
very good point. now that i think about it im VERY picky about the cleanliness of a shop i get a tat at. and the artist too. just thought it was a kinda cool idea.

I think at around 3 in the morning you should have someone draw on you with a sharpie and then go to a tattoo artist after roo is over and have them tattoo exactly what was sharpied on you. Whatever it might be. ;D

the problem with this is in order to properly heal, the tattoo shouldn't really be exposed to that much sun, plus in an altered state it would be tough to remember to do proper aftercare. would be neat, though! henna is a great idea, good way to make a lot of quick money I'd guess.

Last year I felt it appropriate to give myself a giant Sharpie full sleeve tattoo...it looked awesome but I nearly passed out from the fumes/absorption into my skin...I wouldn't recommend it...get some non toxic body paint.

that could be kinda cool minus the sharpie. washable marker and a picture of what was drawn on you sounds like a nice plan. that way if you dotn like it in a sober mindset, you can just wash it off.
I do henna "tattoos". Stop by my tent and I'll hook you up.
I wanted a henna tattoo last year but I don't remember finding one that was authentic. Do you know if there is a difference between some of the stuff that people use for henna tattoo's?
I think ink at roo would be a bad idea in general. I wonder how many bad tats would come b/c of it. Can't you see someone leaving a show in an altered state and hyped about a performance. Goes and gets a band's emblem inked into there arm because they were overwhelmed by the performance.....

my sister got a tattoo when she was in puerto rico... said she was in the most sketchy place ever, and the tattoo parlor was in the back of a truck. when she got inside it was one of the cleanest and most sterile places she'd ever been to and the guy had a ton of credentials.. he'd even tattooed some big rappers and had a ton of pictures with them. anyway, my point: a portable and sterile tattoo shop is possible, but regulations would make things difficult going from state to state.
I got one at a Lollapalooza After Party last year by one of the Miami Ink guys... Maybe it was LA Ink. Either way, it was def a cool way to remember the festival. I'm not sure that I'd do the same at Bonnaroo. Just doesn't seem "sterile" enough!

People should avoid "black" henna because they mix in a black dye, called PPD (basically black hair dye), which is a strong allergen and will start to burn/blister your skin.
If you notice that people are being told that they only have to leave the paste on for less than an hour, then PPD is being used. If the paste is black instead of dark brown, it's PPD. If the ink is black, it's PPD. Pure henna will leave an orange stain that will go brown, but it will NOT be black when the paste flakes off.

Here is my first henna tattoo work...I had a few problems with the nozzle on the bottle so it got a bit gloppy...plus my wife was 8 months pregnant and not able to sit still long enough to do a better job. We also got impatient and washed off the henna too soon so it was a bit light.
I believe it was Seth Ciferri that was at Virgin Festival that first year. I was thinking that I might get something but that something was gonna be on my neck and huge so I chickened out. Virgin and Roo are two totally different things. Tattoos= good. Tattoos while drunk ... not good. Don't think I would even think twice about it at Bonnaroo.

My friend Sue had a henna booth in centeroo last year. I know for a fact that she doesn't use PPD, but I'm not sure if she'll be working roo this year.

To quote Jimmy Buffett. "It's those permanent reminders of a temporary sensation you have to watch out for around here" I think it was actually in reference to a tattoo.

Dean Ween had something to say about that ^^^^^ something to the effect of... I feel sorry for those people with ween tattoos. I mean, what if someday we suck??? On a side note, I've thought about a Lamb of God tattoo for myself.... but only because I've known the guitar player since I was 5, he was 4.... Oh, also, getting a tat at 'roo=bad idea
Weeeeeee! Now I'm Fountain Water!!!

Once i met this guy (years ago) who had converted a school bus into a tattoo parlor. It was all very sanitary, the instruments were cleaned in an autoclave and everything... it was really cool... i dunno if he got many customers but I had to admire the effort that went into it.

That's why I waited 30 years for my Clash tattoo; just don't call it a midlife crisis.

was this at Roo or somewhere else?
Plus, if you need work done here in the Queen City, go to Fu's Custom Tattoos and ask for Matt. He has a two month waiting list but he is well worth the wait.
