hiiii do you happen to know anything about the lads’ tattoos??? i’m kinda curious as to what they are/mean
hello! sorry for seeing this so late.
what i know about their tattoos are assumptions other people had made before. for example, eli's 1972 one is probably for the smashing pumpkins song with that same title, since he had said several times that he likes that band a lot. the cross on his hand prob because he is religious and the latest one he got i think is like symbol? someone found that the symbol has a meaning related to when it breaks meaning 'a better future'(wisdom, heritage and community as well it seems). then bobby's 12:51 is the most obvious> the strokes song with that title, and 540 is because of the first title it won't always be like this had before they changed it to the one we know. (he has others but I haven't seen them close to identify what they are) and ryan also has it won't always be like this title tattooed.
but then again these are just things i've came across by some fans who have posted or tweeted about, i don't have the braincells to gather these presumptions lol. hope i helped tho<3
