I have to recommend researching tattoo artists before you get your tat. I assume you want the tattoo to be done in a portrait style and not every tattoo artist is cut out for that style of tattooing. If you haven't already chosen an artist you may want to go to all the different shops in your area and ask to look at the portfolios of the artists. Make sure the artist has really good portrait style tattoos...this should include the photo that the tattoo was done from so you can do a side by side comparison. I used to work in a tattoo shop and I've seen so many people with so many crappy portrait tattoos. It's really important that the artist is able to mirror the picture they are working from. Not just any person who does tats can pull it off. It has to be someone who is extremely accurate at tattooing realistic portraits. It's very difficult to pull it off. I'm sure you want the tat to be a fitting tribute to Shannon so even if it costs a little more money to go to an excellent artist, it will really be worth it for you to shell out the money. Choosing the right tattoo artist is important..This has nothing to do with portrait style or anything but an old friend of mine got a tattoo in some underground place,he wanted a skull with the text Rock`N`Roll on top of it.. He got the skull but on top of the skull it said RockN`N`Roll.. It looks ridiculous!

Here is an option but it doesnt have bees... i know that even though the Bee Girl helped get Blind Melon famous, the band members hated her for it... there are numerous articles on Ryan's website saying how band members wanted the Bee Girl dead... that's why i dislike the association with Blind Melon and bee's, cause one video shouldnt shape their image... Now I heard she was a band members sister or family member is that true I wonder and maybe they just hated seeing it over and over again. Peace Brandy p.s can I copy that awesome picture for my profile?Did you do that?

Hi Brandy, yeah the album picture was actually a child photo of Glen's sister, i dont know how they stumbled upon it, but they thought it was funny enough to put on the album cover... The actual Bee Girl in the video is a different little girl (forgot her name)... Perhaps you would find those facts on blindmelon.org... Well the reason they seemed to dislike her was because No Rain was abused so much on MTV and shot them into as Rogers said "rock-superstardom", where they were typecast into being the band with the bee-girl... a sort of one-hit wonder if you will... Plus it didnt sound like much of their other stuff so Soup was a complete departure from that No Rain sound... It wasnt a dislike of the girl, but the character and the No Rain video... Sure you can use it... Yeah i did it on one bored day... my other stuff is in the Skinned section under "I was Bored"...

I got my wrist tattoos done.. but not a shannon tattoo yet. I still cant decide what I want! I got my right wrist done about a month ago, and my left wrist 2 weeks ago. I am disappointed in the left wrist, it is a little uneven. I also would have liked them more toward my hand now that I think about it. But its too late now! They mean "peace" and "love" in greek.
