    Do we honestly need to bring the clickbait headlines to the forum? Leave the gossip to the tabloids and let's talk about music.

    He's one of the most commercially successful artists of the decade, so I think people will remember his name...

    MPL beat me to it. Really, a tattoo?
    I suspect Abbey Road will stand the test of time.

    No real Beatles fan would be upset over this cause any Beatles fan would know that The Beatles themselves would find it funny as hell. I can see Lennon and Harrison laughing their asses off about it now up above. They didn’t take themselves that seriously.

    In a way, it is shocking how big a presence the Beatles are, 55 years after their debut. The group, and their Abbey Road cover, are so iconic and so instantly recognizable that a contemporary artist would reference them with a tattoo on his forearm. That's pretty amazing. And, when Korean boy band BTS appeared on the Ed Sullivan Theater stage for the Stephen Colbert show earlier this year, they saw fit to pay homage by recreating the set from the Beatles' 1964 US debut.

  17. What's really magical is that Drake can do all of this without writing a single song! Wow!

    Who cares?
    I’m a lifelong major Beatles fan. As if Drake makes any difference in my life at all! I’m always excited to hear newer or different genres of music that I like. And Drake does not fit in either category!
    If any Beatles fans are offended, it’s time to let it go!
    If it’s indeed some kind of intended comment on Drake’s part. what a sad and petty guy.

    Why is this seen as an insult? If a random fan tattooed the Abbey Road cover with them inserted it would not be seen as a sign of disrespect, quite the opposite.

    He's kind of immortalizes the Beatles on his body, that does not suggest a lack of respect. Thankfully outside of journalists needing to create fake outrage most peole don't have an issue with it.

    I think it’s quite funny. I don’t think I’d want it permanently inked on my body though!

    Tattoos, why are we even discussing this on a music forum, however, my take is I have never seen an interesting tattoo!! BUT I've heard great music

    Seriously, who even bothers which tattoos somebody has? Especially when it comes to a musician? This is not a tabloid, it's supposed to be a music forum, guys :)

    Besides, maybe now's the time for Paul to show us his new Drake tattoo ;)

    Someone has started a thread on this in Visual Arts, I've only come to look because they were mercifully short. That's all I can say on a family friendly forum...
