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

I’d always wanted a tattoo with Suede lyrics, but I couldn’t settle on one that felt meaningful enough to carry with me forever. When my mum visited me a few years ago, she wanted to get tattooed, so I booked her a session at a studio I knew. On our way there, I suddenly thought of getting one myself—if they had space—and decided to have the band’s name done. I figured I could always add another later if I found the right lyric (which I did, a few months after). The band’s name, though, means everything—beyond any single lyric—and I knew I’d never regret it. I already had three tattoos on my left arm, so I chose this one to be the fourth, placed where the band could see it when I reach my hand out to them at a gig.

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

Old London Road Tattoo, in Kingston upon Thames.

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

I already have another one, and I don’t rule out the possibility of getting more…
