ORBIT TATTOO'S

[The Swooping Death Raver]

Ok, so I know I wasn t the only person young and daft enough to get a tattoo of my favorite place of worship, this cost me ?5 and took about 30 seconds to do by some butcher in Scarborough in 1993. Obviously i ve added to it since.

So come on, lets see your Orbit tatts.

1993 !!!!!

Blimey, that was nearly instant commitment :D

[Billy]

wow... you learn something new every day (if you're lucky)... never knew you had the brand of the faithful, sdr?!?

wonder if there's any mileage in getting one now? o come all ye faithful... come and get an orbit tat - after the club has closed!!

oi, flee... fancy it next time we go to vegas?? 8)

[McC]

If you want to really show off, get one of the Mixmag ads done...or a flyer

8o

[Billy]

you mean a full back tattoo... like steve-o's self-portrait? :p

[jonny]

My mate (who is sadly no longer with us) had a tattoo of the plasticman logo...i know its not an orbit logo but the connections there.... :D

[Tinkerbell]

iv got tatoos but sadly no orbit tats as i didnt kno this place exsisted til i met bally!

[McC]

...a tattoo of the plasticman logo...

It crossed my mind when I was thinkin about it....

[_me_]

My missus has this one. Its the Drax logo. As in Drax - Amphetamine.
I'll try and sneak a photo of it tonight when shes asleep... shhhh...

[ramshackles]

not a fan of tattoos and so would never indulge in one, respect to those who did though. long life commitment. fair play. I prefer the stick on ones...
maybe I should go into business... orbit symbol stick on tattoos... for those to chicken to grim and bear the pain. lol

[Flee]

sdr - back in our youthful days when everyone seemed to confuse me with you 8o i kept being asked by ravers to show them my orbit tattoo. it's a good job i knew you so that i could point them in your direction otherwise i wouldn't have known what the f*ck they were taliking about!

billy - next time were in vegas we should get orbit tats done.

[ballboff]

My mate K has a R & S records logo on one arm, and a orbit 48 logo going all the way down his other arm. I'll have to get a snap of them to upload, as he doesn't have a working computer at the moment.

1993 !!!!!

Blimey, that was nearly instant commitment :D

Yeah it was probably 1994 actually, i think i'd been attending about 18 months come to think of it. So not instant commitment, i could have commited earlier though as i knew almost immediately that i had found something special in The Orbit.
The real commitment was driving 80 miles every week, sometimes alone, for about 3 years.

Are you still championing the centre parting Flee?

[Flee]

ha ha ha!

no way, dude. i got rid the centre parting in about 1997. i'm sure i've seen you since then? in fact, yes i have. i remember now. we went out in leeds for someone's birthday [i think], briefly, decided it was rubbish and then went to someone's house to get proper trashed. i think you had a blue rover just like my mum's!

[Billy]

how about a thread for vids of member's sons doing impressions of other members on this board?

what do you reckon, flee? :tongue:

[Flee]

no no no no no no no! that's such a bad idea. probably the worst idea you've ever had!

[anyway, your son's impression of me was rubbish! - that's not an invitation to put up the vid so people can make up their own mind :uhh: ]

Yeah thats right Flee we went out in Leeds then back to Jobbo's, I forgot about that, that must have been 5 years plus ago. If i rememeber correctly someone rammed in to the back of that Rover on the way to that night out.

[tyl3r]

Now, I know Flee pretty well and I'd be hard pressed to think of a defining feature that I could do an impression of.

Billy, for the benefit of us all, I think it needs some airing.

you can knackers! this vid definitely does not need airing. :angry:

[McC]

[All together in a pantomime stylee: ]

OH YES IT DOES.....

:D

[tyl3r]

[Insert picture of an expectant (not pregnant!) Widow Twanky...]

[Flee]

OH NO IT DOESN'T....

[Billy]

it's tempting now...

[tyl3r]

C'mon then...

[Billy]

but we have to treat all members with respect and not damage their dignity... otherwise they'll end up like africans.

[jonny]

While avin another "googling session" i stumbled upon this....this is one big tat....(if it "is" real that is)......;)

[Rob]

I remember seeing a lad with the cover of Svens Accident in Paradise on his back. I think I only come across him once, blurry days!! Does anyone remember him?? Cos that must've hurt!!

[The Swooping Death Raver]

If that plastik man tat is real, then he's really goona regret that when he gets older, eh.

[doogal]

a bit on the late side for this thread but i've finally taken a picture of my tattoo so here it is.

done in 1995/1996, it's all a bit of a blurr back then really....
