Does anyone know what his tatoo is and what it means? I hope this has not already been answered but I could not find it anywhere.

Oh, my, we haven't had this question in a while! Marty has a small black circle tattooed on his neck. The rockers all (except MiG, who got nothing, and JD, who got 446) got tattoos to mark the RS experience. You can find a video clip of this on the home page, quite cute.
BTW we refer to it as the Jorty tatt because Marty and Jordis got the same one.

Hi Linny...
The circle is suppose to represent being open as in open to all the new experiences he was having and being open to whatever the future held...I've had the pleasure of seeing it up close it's about the size of a nickel hmmm maybe more like a dime ***smile***
Welcome to the boards...

I still find it amusing that he thought getting a tattoo was an "enjoyable" experience. But I believe creation requires sadism, so maybe it requires a little masochism as well?
Also, not to be a bugger, but Mr. Fortune's tat read "448" - and I still say that it's technically got circles ;D He's still a prat for always having to be the "black sheep" though.

I know that artists and creative people often suffer from self-doubt and put themselves under a lot of pressure, but I don't get the sadism part at all ... Definitely. When you create something you're putting a piece of your soul out for the world to see - you want your work to affect someone enough that they are moved to strong emotion. Strong emotions are often painful, even when they fall on the "good" side of the spectrum. In other words, creation (and being creative) is not always pretty and the chances are good that you're going to hurt someone. You have to be willing and able to hurt people on purpose (good hurt, or bad). I suppose it's a very mild manifestation of sadism (likely unconscious) all things considered; and I imagine most musicians and artists will never realize that they've hurt someone like that. |

Sorry, I don't agree with you at all. I don't think that chances are good you will hurt someone with something beautiful. Not all artists are going for an emotional reaction, either. Some art is purely aesthetic and even intellectual.
And I don't agree that strong emotions are necessarily painful. They may be powerful, but not hurtful.
Also, sadism is deliberate, not accidental. Even if someone has a painful reaction to a work of art, if the artist didn't intend to create pain, it's not sadism. If, as you say, "most musicians and artists will never realize that they've hurt someone," then you can't also say they are sadists.
Some sadists are artists, but most artists are not sadists. The only thing that might relate is that artists usually put their work first, and they can be obsessive about it, but that still doesn't make them sadists. In fact, I'd even go so far as to say that many of them are masochists, since they often struggle and suffer while they are working, yet they are compelled to continue.

You're entitled to that, and I can understand where you're coming from. Maybe sadism is too strong a word, like I said. But it really doesn't matter what the artist was going for so much as how their work is percieved. Perception is everything.
Which is, naturally, how we all get such wonderfully varied opinions about things. I will also say that I fully admit my view of the world is skewed - I have this quiet certainty that we are all inclined to be cruel and to hurt when given the chance. What makes us amazing is that we don't always - that we hold back and instead extend kindness. (But that's an entirely other tangent).
Believe me, I know all about putting the work first - I'm an aspiring artist myself. I've been known to throw caution to the wind and perform and create even when I shouldn't, when my physical state is not stable enough for the stress and strain. The hurt, the pain, the agony...you learn to love it. Wait, that sounds MUCH more like masochism than sadism, doesn't it? Hmm, I really may have to rethink my stance...
Oi vey, I apologize for going so off topic here, it wasn't my intent. Wendy, if you'd like to continue this discussion could we do so via PM? I don't want to fill a thread that's supposed to be about Mr. Casey's tattoo with OT stuff, and I've enjoyed discussing this with you.

Sure! And then we can get back to discussing the tattoo here, which, btw, I really like. It's simple, private, and purely conceptual. It's fun to catch a peek of it when he throws his head back.

Excellent! And yes, that tattoo is wonderful in location and simplicity. Always liked the simpler tattoos more (something about having Winnie-the-Pooh in leather inked on one's body just strikes me as...odd).

LOL! I once knew someone who had a tattoo of Pepe Le Pew (yes, the skunk) in the small of her back. Her husband used to call her "Stinky" ... needless to say, I didn't want to know the details.

Oh my goodness...definitely going to say that details would probably have been a TMI situation!
As for me, no ink yet, but pondering making a nice -simple- design for between my shoulderblades, or somewhere more easily hidden. (something small, as I'm a wuss)
