Inked: Any funny tattoo stories?

Jaime: I got a tattoo behind my ear drunk; I don't remember getting it done. That's pretty good, it's like I woke up with a tattoo on my head.

Luke: The sinking ship was after a tattoo convention on the Queen Mary and me and 15 other people had a drunken tattoo party. Basically there were two people there who were sober that kept setting up the equipment. So it was pretty much just booze and tattoos.

Jaime: I got Septicemia from my first tattoo, which was fun. And one of my fingers nails fell off, and I had to play a show.

Mike: I have other bands lyrics tattooed on me but nothing about our band. We’ve always seen it as a jinx. As soon as you get your band tattooed, you split up.

Stuart: It's like people say that having your girlfriend or wife's name tattooed on you is a bad omen. It's the same with band.

Inked: Do you get any tattoos on tour?

Jaime: Yeah, I’m actually looking to get some more this time around. Tattoos have become really pricey though and I can't justify spending that kind of money on it. So I’m hoping to bump into someone who will do that.

Inked: So do you all have specific tattoo ideas, or do you just let the artist work?

Jaime: I'm an artist myself, so I'm always like "ehh," when people are like do this exactly like this. The mistake I made on my first tattoo is I went in as an artist, and got this guy to do exactly as I wanted. Going forward, I basically find people who have their own style and who are good. It’s like I’m buying their artwork from them. I do that with a guy called Bob Vessels. And he was crazy!! I mean the first two times I went to see him, the second he chased my out of the tattoo place with an empty bottle of wine because he was very eccentric. But when I went back the 3rd time he was like "I knew you would come back." I was like cool and I sat down, so he sort of deciphers who is serious about having tattoos and who isn't.

Stuart: I got this one about six years ago by a chick in London. My daughter was born on the day of the dead, so I got a zombified crystal skull for her.
