Villa Blur

Hello everyone,

I know this topic has been discussed on many sites throughout the internet, but still I would like to ask you lot here and would love your advice as I am going to have my very first tattoo (or maybe first two tattoos: forearm or/and calf) and think about having something related to Blur (not keen on a picture, so pls do not come up with the milk from Coffee&TV or Grahams' illustrations or Damons' Dr.Dee star), preferably few words, part of the lyrics...

The best idea so far seem these two>

forearm (vertically)>



calf>



including the used fonts.

... but I am still not convinced.

What do you say? Thanks for you help!

What’s your favorite Blur song lyric?

Does Modern Life is Rubbish mean something to you?

As someone who has a tattoo that she wishes she didn’t get my biggest advice is not to get a tattoo unless you’re 100% in love with it. Pick something that has meaning to you not something that you think others will like.

Hello and thank you for your reaction.

I see what you mean and it makes perfect sense to me. I have not decided to go for it yet, still not 100% sure, but at this very moment I think I would like it. Still I know I should come up with something that is both personal and at the same time Universal and both "very Blur" and yet understandable, both nice to look at and yet not attracting a lot of attention. And it does not exclude the possibility that I may regret that very idea (of getting a tattoo done) in the future.

Yes, the phrase "Modern life is rubbish" means quite a lot to me. Going back to my adolescent years and the formative influence it (the album) had on me. Not mentioning the fact that I am an old fart now and the phrase fully reflects my general attitude towards the world and society today

And "No distance left to run" in connnection with a leg (where I visualise to have it)... you know...
