Grateful Dead Tattoo #105 Wharf Rat
Mo sent in this Narcotics Anonymous and Wharf Rat inspired Steal Your Face.
I came across your blog in the weeks leading up to me getting this ink. It is a SYF with a diamond in the skull. A diamond with a circle around it is the symbol of the fellowship of Narcotics Anonymous, which has saved my life (and my face). The yellow in the bolt is a nod to the yellow balloons used by the wharf rats during shows to let recovering heads know where to go for support. Hope you like it!
Thanks for sharing Mo!
Here's a Wharf Rat from 81...

Melissa sent in this steam locomotive. The tattoo was done at Voodoo Monkey in Cleveland, Ohio. She says that

GD Tattoo #57 Dead to the Core
Kevin submitted a few of his tattoos.
Update - Kevin got his work done by Jim at Metal N Ink in Hamilton, ON Canada
The first is quite unique, and one I've not seen before. As you can see, Station 12 of the San Francisco Fire Department protects The Haight, and proudly sports a Steal Your Face in their badge. You can see it above the grill on the truck.

If ever there was a Fire on the Mountain, or at least in The Haight, you know friendlies wold be showing up!
Kevin's first show was Nassau Coliseum on 1981-05-06, I listened to a few songs last night, and they were pretty hot, so go have a listen:

While you're out and about, give this Studio Outtake of Terrapin Station a listen. Check out Terrapin and Equinox. I just heard Equinox for the first time, and am sadly disappointed it didn't make the live rotation.
