Does anyone know if Jim Carroll had any tattoos?Ā 
Does anyone in the group have any JC or JCB related tattoos?Ā 

For the record, I have four tattoos but none of them are related to Jim.Ā

Nope, not me.
All that pops to mind about Jim, is that "tattooed erection" line šŸ˜‰šŸ˜…

JC had no tattoos thatĀ I know of, and I saw most of him.

I have a photo, somewhere, of a tattoo someone had around the neck/collarbone of a JC lyric. It’s one of many images that need to be restored to the image galleries on the website.

ā€œTattooed erectionā€ is a good example of what JC did in his poetry (and also in his lyrics obviously) — that image immediately connects. Whether it’s an erection that has been tattooed, or a tattoo depicting an erection, you see it and it conjures a little movie in your brain. Living at the movies!

I hadn't thought of it that way.Ā  Great images,Ā  yes.Ā 

I would find it very difficult to choose one of JC's lyrics for a tattoo.Ā  So many choices!

My tests without content have failed, so here I am responding. I hope others are interested in the tattoo!

Apparently I don't have a way to verify changes. I was trying to trim down the footers . . .Ā
