Yup, that's my ink!!!
Many thanks to Stringer for putting this up for me - (I'm techno incompetent) - sorry about the poor photo - you try photographing your own back with a laptop webcam!
I'm so happy with this!!

As I have mentioned before - feck Paradigm Healthcare!
I couldn't care less who / where else this can be found.
This is about what the idea of "staying positive" means to me (always trying to take an optimistic view of things!), along with the belief in taking reponsibility for one's self / family / life / destiny etc.
To me tattoos are very personal things.
Amongst my other ink, I have a three-circles 'Bonham - type' tattoo that has my son's name and is also my business logo! (also used by Krupp steel and Ballantines beer!)
Although I love Zeppelin, play drums and am a lifelong Bonham fan, to me it's NOT a Led Zep tattoo.
Similarly, although the lyric and symbol are from the Hold Steady, it's not just a THS tattoo.
There, I feel better now!

Thank you!
Not meaning to be defensive!
As it happens, I work in social care, so it could be worse!

Never seen it on sale in the UK, unfortunately. Apparently the idea came from someone at Ballantines seeing 3 rings of condensation on a bar table!
It has been said that John Bonham liked the beer and got his Led Zep logo from there, though that may be a myth!
They're called Borromean Rings and apparently have some mathematical significance (don't ask me!).
The guy who did my tattoos has said he's heard of both the Bonham and Stay Positive symbols representing infinity / continuity. Don't think he'd heard of THS though (or Paradigm Healthcare!!)

Sorry for the thread resurrection. Super-stoked on my new tattoo, couldn't wait to share it here. Picture taken about 5 minutes after it was done, and about 2 hours ago total.  Artist is Sara Purr, Rochester NY. She's fucking brilliant. |

Matty that really is superb! Cassette retro!
The colours and the shine-effect are really something. Two hours - that's gotta hurt!

Good times Matty. Can't go wrong with a THS lyric and a C90.
