Hi.

Through various videos, I've seen at least Ogre and Chris Connelly with
similar tattoos. They look something like this:

_|_____
| /
| / ..okay, so this is a really bad ascii rendering of it,
| / but, hey, what can you do.
|/____
| /
| /
| /
_|/____
|


Anyhow, does anyone have any idea if the signify or symbolize anything?
I *think* I may have seen on Al Jourgensen, but I'm not sure. Thanks.
Ciao.

I Have absolutely no clue what it means but I noticed the same thing and I
have been damn curious too . . .

I believe it's the Revolting Cocks tattoo (RC).

They are Revolting Cock tattoos. I guess everyone in the band gets on...

This is the symbol for the Revolting Cocks.

It's from Revolting Cocks, no? Check out the album covers for Beers,
Steers, and Queers AND Linger Ficken' Good. I'm not sure why Ogre
would have this as a tattoo, but I just sort of assumed it was a logo
for the Revco camp.

Shit, I did know that. I think I saw it on the inside cover of one of
their CDs.

*sigh*

Next time I ask a question, someone remind me to think first.

This is the Revolting Cocks symbol (an R over a C), and supposedly everyone
who goes through Al's studio party known as a recording session for the next
RevCo album gets drunk and branded with this symbol. That includes evryone
who even screams in the chorus. Source for info = a few articles in magazines.

Well...maybe Ogre thought it looked cool... Henry Rollins has an
Einsturzende Neubauten tattoo, and he has nothing to do with that band
that I know of..

Oh contraire` my little aggro-friend. Mr. Ogre sang "GET DOWN"
on RevCo's BEERS STEERS AND QVEERS if I am not mistaken. How can you
you mistake his lovely voice singing, "we just wanted to get down, we
just wanted to get down, we just...."?

I don't know... the first place I ever heard that Ogre sang on this
track was here on r.m.i... it just seems to me that if you put a lot of
distortion on YOUR voice, you could probably sound a lot like Ogre!
But Ogre did tour with Revco, no? As a matter of fact, I saw them on
the BS&Q tour in 1990 in St.Louis (w/the Skatenigs opening up) and I
have vague memories of Ogre being on a keyboard in back of Chris. When
they played "Get Down," Chris did the vocals, not Ogre.

I don't believe Trent Reznor has any tattoos on his body, at least none
visible or that he admits to. The latest 'Details' article/interview on
him said he was tattoo-free. Sorry to bust the theory.

Hmmn, check out this months GQ magazine, they have a long article on Trent,
and a few pictures in some swank outfit and a partial tattoo is visible. Maybe
he uses lick-em-and-stick-ems?

Double hmmn, will check it out for sure. Wish these darn articles would
get their info straight (or maybe my mind is just going).
Lick-em-stick-ems, hmm, somehow I can't quite imagine that (though they are
great to stick on in visible but unususal places for photos sent home to
the 'folks). Wow, never thought I'd see the day Trent would be in GQ, I'm
out the door and off to my friendly neighborhood mag stand...thanks for the
tip.

I'd bet it's a pseudo. Or maybe just body painting. He has said repeatedly
that "I don't like shit on me." (the first person being der Trentster)

I'd say it's fake.
