Hey, I'm new on this forum. Been meaning to join for years but I didnt have a reason to until recently. I should introdue myself quickly. I adore pw, he is my idol. His music has helped me through so so much and I adore everything I know about him. I saw him live for the first time last year as a christmas present from my best friend. It had been something I had been waiting for for ages so on the night, when he came on stage I was instantly in tears and I had no idea why. then two days later he did a dj set at boombox and I got the chance to meet him and I instantly melted. So did my friends who were with me. Check the picture: a395.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/28/l_eaed660cdc0772e1ec0ebe9925840232.jpgIt all sounds slightly sad and obsessive but I truely adore him. So I have question, I am currently thinking of getting a tattoo related to Patrick Wolf because he has been such an influence on my life and I'm so greatful for his music. I was going to get a tattoo saying 'pw x' but I feel I need something a little more personal. I have decided I want a small and simple line of lyric but i'm not too sure what to have. My fave pw song changes almost daily and each one has a seperate meaning to me but I dont want the lyric to be personal about anything other than my love for everything wolf! The very first song I herd was a boy like me but there isnt really a lyric from that song that stands out most. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas, or theres a lyric that sticks in their head that you think is really influential. Thank you reply please x

Make sure that it's something that even when/if you stop loving PW, it still means something to you.

I think it's all your decision, you shouldn't get influenced by us. And yeah, what TiaraStripes said! She's absolutely right, though you can never know if it will mean something to you in 20 years.
But there's something my sister said. If she'd ever get a tatoo, she said, it would be Interpol related, she'd take the line "Give some meanings to the means", and she said it's still an intelligent and beautiful line when she doesn't like Interpol anymore. So maybe you find an equivalent.
I probably said it a hundred times on the board, but I'm going to get the Unicorn!!!

I wouldn't get the PW one for reasons above; if you change your mind about Wolf's music for whatever reason, initials won't be any good.
He has wonderful little drawings; maybe consider one of those. His lyrics are hard to pinpoint a phrase that sticks out. His lyrics are stronger in context; I think long texts is a bit much.
I don't know about these, but:
wild stretch of land
these lost souls
or the classic: let no hand hold you down let no foot mark your ground
Those are kind of pleasant. I don't know; think about it. It should be something you love enough to pick out yourself.

i think everyone else has given you some great advice. may i impart some non-related-but-related-to-the-forum advice as well? i know you are new, but next time you have a topic like this, could you please post in the patrick wolf off-topic thread? it's just that this isn't directly related to patrick, although it is loosely, so it would fit in better in that thread than a whole thread on its own. good luck with your tattoo, whatever you decide.

A lot of people have the WITW bird or some other representative of the albums or Patrick as a whole. I personally want 'All in the palm of your hand' on my wrist when I can get one. Some people (candelia?) even have the same unicorn as Patrick does. A lot of people have PW tattoos so if you ask nicely i'm sure they'll show you

Yeah, like Thornykins and Rhi suggested, there are a lot of nice little drawings so perhaps they're something to consider. I know a lot of people have these, and even after you're not interested in Patrick they'll still be lovely.

There's a beautiful tattoo floating around somewhere on LiveJournal of a girl with a full back tattoo of Overture.
At half-term (in Berlin!) I'm hopefully going to get three green stars behind one ear and "let no hand hold you down" behind the other. My Alex drew it on a month ago and it's just starting to fade, but I've lived with it for a month (and thought about it for a long time...)... So I think that's it.

Yes! That's lovely! It's colored too, I think.
I had it saved somewhere...

good question... I'd probably go with these depending on how long/big a tattoo do you want, but it is very subjective.
It's wonderful what a smile can hide
Wake me up when the blue bells are ringing
be you own hero be your own saviour
my blood beats black
If you never lose How you gonna know when you won If it's never dark How you gonna know the sun When it shines You've got to let it shine

I remember when I met the miss, she wanted part of the sheet music to Overture tatooed, but when she met him he said he'd verify if it's right later--but never did. It would have been wonderful, but that result with the banner worked out veryvery well.
Verocs, much better picks than mine! (I just did it off the top of my head. Fail.)

i'm not a tattoo person, but if i ever got one i'd probably get 3 of the witw birds on my the back of my right shoulder. so it looks like they're going to fly off!
either way, i agree with what most people have said- also, if you do get something, i would make it small so if you do get tired of seeing the words/picture then you can cover it up.

here is mine not the exact same one as mr wolf as his is black and w/out the star... it's from the patrick wolf ep artwork it's not my first tattoo though, i have a bunch all around, please be sure you won't regret it, and do it on a discrete spot maybe (i do recommend the feet, it is very cute and doesn't hurt that much.. ) hope the recommendations helped...

yo, i can clearly see your nipple. is there a way that you can you show off your tattoo in a less tacky way? i dunno, maybe cutting your barely-covered breasts out of the picture? it still shows the tattoo...

thank you. a nipple is a nipple is a nipple, yes; but as i am one of the moderators of this section of the forum, i feel like i have a duty to do something about potentially offensive material. i'm not saying that your breasts or nipples are offensive, more power to you for having breasts and nipples that may be aesthetically pleasing (and, i guess, even more power for having the guts to photograph yourself in such a way for all the internet to see), but let's keep it out of the main section of the forum, please. i feel such a shot was unnecessary for the subject, is all.
