Slayer released an album on one ill-fated day. There are t-shirts and other promo material floating around bearing the name of the album and the date of its release, produced in anticipation of the album release. Given that that merchandise exists, I'd not be surprised if some Slayer fan somewhere has a tattoo reading:
God Hates Us All

The album Dream Theater released that day was called Live Scenes from New York and the album art featured an image of the twin towers on fire.

I had a friend in high school who went and got his own first name tattooed across his chest in the same font and size of that “thug life” tattoo. Name changed, so let’s just say it says “Michael”.
So the first time he goes topless at the skate park someone says to him that if you don’t know who he is, it looks like he’s just in love with someone named Michael. So my friend is embarrassed, and next time he goes to his tattoo artist decides to fix it by having his own last name tattooed under his belly button, so now it just says “Michael Scott” on his whole torso, and doesn’t solve the problem that if you don’t know that he’s Michael Scott, you’d just assume that he’s in love with Michael Scott.
So then add 20 years, and now he’s got a fat beer gut sticking out that’s bordered with a distorted gothic print of his own name. Tattoo artists should really be required by law to refuse stupid tattoos.

I don't know the band but the wheel of taranis seems to have a deeper meaning:
Associated with the Celtic Thunder God is the Solar Wheel or Wheel of Taranis. The wheel was an important symbol in Celtic polytheism, associated with a specific god, known as the wheel-god, identified as the sky-, sun-, or thunder-god, whose name is attested to as Taranis by Lucanus

I have a tattoo I got in someone’s backyard of a crudely drawn skull biting a top hat and under it, it says “MONSTER BIRD.” The girl who did it had never tattooed anyone before. She had just bought the gun. And I planned this tattoo, it wasn’t just spur of the moment. I went over on a Sunday afternoon and laid on a picnic table and got the worlds shittiest tattoo.
I also have a beehive and inside the beehive it says “Prince Symbol” but that ones not as bad as MONSTER BIRD.

I used to program automated lighting systems. For one installation I had a setup with color changing fixtures, white fixtures, and some relays we were controlling them to power them.
At some point I was saving some interim work having to do with the white fixtures and their power relays.
I named the show file "WHITE POWER".
