GD Tattoo #43 Well I was Drinking last night with a Biker

This found tattoo is from about.com
Collector: Marc Gegner
Artist: Kelly (Kelli?) Tipton - 2nd Chance Tattoo
Hendersonville, Tennessee

Well I was drinkin' last night with a biker
And I showed him a picture of you
I said, "Pal get to know her, you'll like her!"
Seemed like the least I could do.

Cause when he's chargin' his chopper
Up and down your carpeted halls
You will think me by contrast quite proper
Never mind how I stumble and fall.
Never mind how I stumble and fall.

You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot
For a taste of your elegant pride
I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe
But at least I'm enjoyin' the ride
At least I'm enjoyin' the ride
Yeah, at least I'm enjoyin' the ride
Yeah

Now you're a sweet little softcore pretender
Somehow baby got as hard as it gets
With her black leather cruel-spiked suspenders
Her chair, and her whip, and her pet.

Well we know you're the reincarnation
Of the ravenous Catherine the Great
And we know how you love your ovations
From the Z-rated scenes you create
Yeah, Z-rated scenes you create

You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot
For a taste of your elegant pride
I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe
But at least I'm enjoyin' the ride
at least I'm enjoyin' the ride
Yeah, at least I'm enjoyin' the ride

You analyze me, attempt to despise me
You laugh when I stumble and fall
There may come a day I will dance on your grave
If unable to dance I will crawl across it
Or unable to dance I will crawl
Yeah, if unable to dance I'll crawl
Yeah

You must really consider the circus
It just might be your kind of zoo
I can't think of a place that's more perfect
For a person as perfect as you.

And it's not like I'm leaving you lonely
Cause I wouldn't know where to begin
Well I know that you'll think of me only
When the snakes come marching in
Yeah, when the snakes come marching in

You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot
For a taste of your elegant pride
I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe
But at least I'm enjoying the ride
At least I'm enjoying the ride
Ride, ride, ride-ride
At least I'm enjoying the ride ...

And if you read this far, here's a treat (or torture depending on your POV) . the studio rehearsal of the development of the song, along with some jammage.

So I came across Emily Hefley at Cosmic Tattoos online and had to ask if I could share their tattoos here. A quick visit to their site will explain why...

Here is the first I'd like to share from their work:

GD Tattoo #1 Many Worlds I've Come...

Here is my first Grateful Dead Tattoo picture, and of course it's my tattoo. I got this tattoo in 2007 for our 15th wedding anniversary. It is a variation of the 40th anniversary graphic with an 8 spoked wagon wheel, space your face, and of course some roses. The picture has some glare from the sun that washes it out a little. My wife also got a tattoo, you can see her tattoo here.
