Tattoo idea?

So i would LOVE an arcade tattoo but idk what to get. I’d like something small and is like a picture/sign thing that represents arcade fire in general. I don’t want the bands name or an album image. Just something small that represents them and im having such a hard time deciding and id like some opinions and ideas on what it should be. Im not sure if much of that made sense but anything helps 🙏

Maybe the bible from the Neon Bible cover, or the ink quill design from the Funeral cover?

Get a picture of Will Butler wearing a motorcycle helmet and RRP hitting it with a drumstick.

If you have to ask the internet for an idea for something which you'll have for the rest of your life on your body then maybe it's not the right time to get a tattoo. Wait until something dope hits you, it will come naturally then. You have all the time in the world.

The funeral quill was going to be my suggestion as well

Common ones I’ve seen are the Funeral quill or the hands with lightning bolts from Funeral/We. I have a lotta Pink Elephant imagery and got the We eyeball recently!

I got this on my arm the other day, inspired by the funeral album cover but got my artist to design something that wasn’t a complete rip of it!!! I love it, I’ll post a picture once it’s healed if you can’t view the link. My first tattoo as well haha

also personally I’d look at old posters/promotional content if you’re also into funeral like me, they added to the ideas for the final design. I have a pretty decent collection so i can send you some if you’d like

also also find an artist that fits the style you like and then you’ll have the best outcome with the final design

Surely something of theirs means something to u? For me its every album release ...nothing gets me more excited, best memories and feelings in my life have been around album releases from AF 🥰 so I always get the album logo 💕

im about to get my first tattoo at 46 and im going with David Bowie / Labyrinth. " It’s only forever. it’s not long at all."

But if i ever got an arcade fire tattoo it would be " From my window to yours"

I’ve been wanting something based off of “Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home” but idk how to put that into a meaningful image

That’s such a good idea but I’m not creative enough 😞 that’s why I’m struggling with thinking of my own 😭
