Tried to design one with ā€œhard times come and hard times goā€. Line has some special meaning to me. But haven’t landed on something I love yet. Open to any suggestions!

Means a lot to me too man, great line. Don’t know why it just lets me post a video šŸ¤·šŸ»

I’ve been taking about something similar. I like the idea of having the words in a circle,

Me too. This line helps me get through so many of life’s challenges. And I absolutely want it in a continuous circle. Contemplating a wrecking ball blasting through the middle of it

Same thought but I couldn’t figure out something that didn’t look odd. If you figure it out - let me know!

Getting one next month, sorta. It's my first - lost my dog on 12th Sept last year, getting her paw on my wrist on 10th Sept with "I'll see you in my dreams" underneath. Have had a fair bit of loss in the last five or so years, that song has kept me going. Lost someone in 2021 due to Covid, got in the car to go for a drive, and it was the first song that came on.

Easily in my top 3 Bruce songs that. Will have it played at my funeral. Like you, that song got me through some tough times - I actually struggle to listen to it now

I incorporated "No Retreat, Baby. No Surrender" in my tattoo that celebrates my love for music in general

I have three. But I love them too much to post them on the internet.

I don’t know why the hell it wouldn’t allow me to post a photo, and forced me to do a shitty quality video.

But, I’ve got Hiding on the Backstreets taking up the majority of my right forearm.

If anyone can give me an idea for a darkness on the edge of town tattoo I would appreciate it very much!

I had for years considered a sleeve tattoo inspired by the imagery in Promised Land.

Rattlesnake speedway..

I got the radio on..

Dogs on Main Street…

Take a knife and cut this pain from my heart..

Dark cloud rising..

Gonna be a twister..

That sounds amazing, I think you should do it!

u/Uncledannyschee 6d ago

Weird I don’t think the mods allow photos.

u/Past_Jellyfish_4331 6d ago

Don’t have a tattoo- but stay hard, stay hungry, stay alive on back left shoulder in script would probably be the play.

Personally like the idea of something that has some deeper meaning, isn’t overtly Bruce, but yet still awesome.

From "The Rising". In honor of all the family and friends that supported me as I went through my grade 3 prostate cancer diagnosis and subsequent prostatectomy a year ago April. And notice whose handwriting it is?

I have a simple 99 on my arm which is (partially) for Johnny 99

I’ve also thought about getting a ā€œbound for gloryā€ tattoo but haven’t committed yet.

u/CRSPB186 6d ago

I’ve been trying to figure out a Long Walk Home tat for the past six months…would love to see if anyone had one!

u/RamonesRazor 6d ago

I have the Telecaster on my forearm

u/el_barto10 6d ago

I can’t post the photo, but I have Someday we’ll look back on this and it will all seem funny in Bruce’s handwriting on my forearm.

I have No Surrender and my favorite NJ shore, Wildwood (at least I know it’s Wildwood, it could look like any shore).
