Grohl began his tattoo career as a teen and has continued to this day. He tried to make the black flag emblem, the John Bonham 3 circles, and an x on his elbow in the past, but he didn’t like them.
Then, during his time with Nirvana, he attempted to create another three-circle design, which was later obscured by a solid back square.
Continuing his tattoo experience, he created a popular feather tattoo, which Kat Vond inked.
Following this tattoo, Dave Grohl visited London for his show and opted to get another tattoo there; this experience justifies the phrase “new place, the new tattoo” for Dave.
Grohl met Lal Hardy in London and decided to get the Foo Fighters’ logo tattooed on his neck. Dave’s fans seem to like this ink as well.
In his other tattoo tale, Dave used his tattoo to pay respect to one of his favorite singers. This ink was intended for his close friend, Lemmy Kilmister.
Grohl was greatly moved by the news of Lemmy’s passing and chose to honor his friend by getting a Motorhead-inspired tattoo on his forearm. “Royal Tattooist” inked the tattoo.
