GlamMetal.com has issued an interview with BLACK LABEL SOCIETY leader ZAKK WYLDE, conducted by Tracey L. & Gus. The following is an excerpt:
Q: Zakk, I’m interested to know why is it that you have very few tattoos? In fact your arms are bare.
A: "My wife’s got more tattoos than I do. The best is she’s got this really cool looking “Z” on her left arm. In fact the dude said, 'If you ever dump this fuckin’ lame McCrowd ass we could always turn it into a butterfly or something.' But, I never had any interest in gettin’ ‘em. But a bunch of my buddies, when GN'R was at their height of power, like everybody started getting tats, cause ya know who could have more tattoos than Axl and shit like that? All my buddies, that would never get a tattoo in their life, were like 'Man that’s cool', and I’m like, 'Yeah, thats cause you’re a bunch of lambs, you’re not lions. You’re followers.' If I were to get one though, I would get “Mother” going down my arm in a Black Label font and “Father” over here. Then I’d get, fuckin’ a big thing of Jesus Christ on my back with “Strength”, “Determination”, “Merciless”, “Forever” (at each of the four points of the cross). That would be it. Those would be the tats that I would get. Then I would have an arrow pointin’ to my ass that says, 'I’m in the music business, open 24/7, insert cock here.' ”
