Taylor thought he was being sued at first, but was instead asked if he would 'be down to take some photos for the merch.' He drew the band's logo by hand and his friend, who had never tattooed anyone before, inked it on him. 'This was my peak fandom mixed with my rebellious who-gives-a-fuck phase,' Taylor said, advising against getting at-home tattoos (although he has no regrets).Īn unnamed member of the band reportedly reached out to him via email, inquiring about the tattoo after having seen it in one of the former adult film star's movies - a more likely story than a relatively obscure Tumblr post with around 2,000 notes. Now a musician and animation student, Taylor told James Factora of Them that he got the tattoo when he was 18 years old and living in a hostel with a friend. The tattoo belongs to former porn star Mickey Taylor, who was approached by the band to use his image for official memorabilia. With a new tour comes new merch, and the band did not hold back on the millennial nostalgia with the designs - which include a T-shirt that spotlights an iconic MCR tramp stamp that once made the rounds on Tumblr.
Wait, what year is it again? My Chemical Romance returned with their first new song since 2014 last week and have since embarked on their worldwide reunion tour, which began in the UK on Monday (May 16).
