![]() ![]() King began to go bald so he simply shaved his head and covered it in ink. Frontman Tom Araya had neck surgery, making head banging a potentially dangerous activity. It's hair windmills were without compare. There was a point where Slayer was the best among thrash acts at, well, thrashing. King's case is somewhat different from the rest on this list because his tattoos were of, uh, necessity. The back of his head is a rather well-done demonic face, which bleeds down his neck and the side of his head into tribal patterns similar to those on his arm. While many rappers litter their faces with plenty of small logos and minor tattoos, metalheads such as Slayer guitarist Kerry King uses his entire dome as a showcase for the kind of demonic imagery you might expect from the head writer in a band such as Slayer. It's probably not a surprise that metal bands take face/head tattoos to a whole other level. Of course, the same guy frequently smashes a microphone into his head onstage, so we're not sure a tattoo is the worst idea, relatively. Granted, he does sing in Down now.but it's still not the best look. Normally we give band members a hard time for wearing their own mercy onstage, so we're not sure what to make of frontman Phil Enselmo having "CFH" tattooed on the side of his frequently-shaved head. The acronym stands for "Cowboys from Hell," a reference to Pantera's breakthrough single. Another popular logo that pops up on plenty of rock fans is the "CFH," which is often unreadable because the ink melts together. Such is not the case when you get the "hatchet man" tattooed on your arm. You can even switch between bands from day-to-day. After all.tastes change.and bands sell merchandise with the explicit purpose of you wearing it and promoting their act. Your correspondent is of the mind that getting a band logo tattooed anywhere on your body is a questionable call. Here are six other prominent musicians that have used their heads as showcases for questionable art installations. What next? Will he start wearing clocks on chains as a "tribute" to Flava Flav?Īnyway, all we have right now is that Young Thug got some fresh ink, and it's on his face. First he tried to cop the name Tha Carter 6 from Lil Wayne (and in an "unrelated" incident, his road manager was just arrested for allegedly shooting at Weezy's tour bus). "Shocked" might be a bit of a stretch, considering that the rapper has been on a tear of unpredictable behavior since the release of his Barter 6 album. Young Thug shocked the world when he revealed that he had gotten an ice cream cone tattooed on his face in tribute to Gucci Mane. ![]()
