[TUNE] And His Tattoo

Tune posted at his blog the history about his tattoo.

Right after Tune's logo was finished he decided to have a tattoo of "TUNE" and his first album title "TUNE your mind". But since it is the first time he has a tattoo, he was also worried ... for 0.03seconds.

Before getting a tattoo he consulted musicians around him that already have one and mentioned that especially the thoughtful and careful advices from Yozoh were good.
The artdirector who made the logo together with TUNE and the tattoo artist sat together planning out the exact size needed and to avoid any errors during tattooing. Even though a lot of people told that it hurts, Tune said that it was just a pricking, not huting at all. The only thing was the tension during the 1 hour job.
Thinking about what he should call his second album, people around him are starting to ask if he will have a tattoo everytime he releases a new album. He said that if he would do it, he would be all over album titles when he's 50 then and no space for movie mementos...

He also warns before making a tattoo, to think carfully about it, since it stays for a very long time, and to not have regrets later.
For people who think "Tattoo=scary guy", he wants them to see it as a kind of art, like hip hop and rock music, like graffiti or videos are, and wants them to recognize the diversity of tattoos.

Actually TUNE wanted the photo with his fist and the tattoo to be a jacket photo, but even though it wasn't used as that, he's comfortable with showing at the beginning and end of a performance.

On another note, his third music video for '달려가잖아' is in work and is probably going to be released in January next year.

I never assume tattoo=scary guy, it really depends on the kind of tattoo and the person to to say what a tattoo says about someone.
I didn't know Yozoh had one...where is it??
