Tell us about the tattoo: why this image/text specifically? what does it mean to you personally? why did you pick this specific design?

After the York gig, I had also asked Neil to draw a heart for a tattoo but Simon signed the opposite side of the paper and the ink seeped through. Instead, I asked Neil to write “suede” after the Union Chapel book event a few months later. I got this tattoo four days ago and it is still healing.

Where did you get your tattoo done (studio and/or artist)?

Pure Ink Newcastle.

Do you have any plans for more Suede related tattoos and if so, what are they?

When the next album comes out, me and my mam agreed to get more matching tattoos based on either art from the album cover or song names.
