MOTÖRHEAD's LEMMY Featured On Tomorrow's 'L.A. Ink'

January 7, 2009

Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister, MOTÖRHEAD's legendary frontman, will have his three current tattoos touched up by Kat Von D, star of the TLC show "L.A. Ink", on this Thursday's (January 8) episode.

This TV feature is a companion piece to the recent Lemmy/MOTÖRHEADarticle in the December/January issue of Inked magazine, their best-selling issue ever. In it, Lemmy discusses:

* The three tattoos: The Ace of Spades (left forearm),a Capricorn sign (left shoulder) and an Indian shield (right forearm).

* His first tattoo: In 1973 in Dayton, Ohio when he was in Hawkwind. It was a marijuana leaf, which he's since had covered up because it looked like "a pizza with wings." It's now an Indian shield.

* The biggest tattoo disaster he's seen: A friend of theirs was getting "Born to Lose" tattooed on her arm, and the guy was about to spell it with two o's — "Born to Loose." Lemmy saved her just in time.

* Some wild MOTÖRHEAD tattoos he's seen: Says Lemmy, "A friend of ours in Germany has his entire back covered with the logo and he's got us tattooed on the sides of his head and chest. He's got our faces on the calves of his legs." Now that's a fan!

Many of the band's fans have sent in pictures of their very own beloved MOTÖRHEAD tatts. Check 'em out at this location.
