Hmmm. The problem you have is that while BOC is linked to several images, most of them are photo based and probably don't lend themselves to being tattooed very easily. Have you checked out the T-Shirt designs on their official site? Not a very original suggestion but probably the best I can think of. Or maybe something based around Hexagon Sun?

BTW - where in the Midlands are you? Nottingham? Leicester? Used to live in Newark for a while so just wondering.

Oh, and welcome to the forum too!

Float between Notts and Leics ....

I was thinking about inverting some of their 2 tone images of faces ...

already been playing around in photshop and got some good ideas

now stuck between the c within the o within the b

I'm going to get 'DAVIE ADDISON' tattooed up my shaft.

I like rainbow t-shirt design, spaceman. Not sure about the other one.

I will now officially resign my title of "the number 1 Boards of Canada fan."

I'm going to have the lyrics of "the devil is in the details" tattood on my left-hand and a big hexagon on the right.

I've actually been thinking about this as well, I have no tattoos and have been considering BOC but not sure yet. maybe Daft Punk's pyramid instead.

Cups, next time you go out, forget the tattooist and visit the barber instead

Don't do it Cupz! Don't make my mistake!

it'll be a year before my hair is as long as yours again *sigh*

My BoC tattoo suggestion is probably a hexagon. inconspicuous is probably best I think, BoC lend themselves to subtlety.

I will never!!! I made the mistake once (back when I looked like a mushroom

)...I will not do it again.

Why not something simple and timeless (and thus, less painful)

or

Yeah, I think someone getting "BOARDS OF CANADA" permanently stained on their body is really lame. Why wont the image of the girl and mother work? Thatd be a bad-ass tattoo imo.

The second one is awesome as a tattoo in my opninion. Just a figure is better than letters/words.

if you want something boc related, virtually painless and interesting just get a thin hexagon outlined...
