 This page originated with a contest we did here at Bite The Dust where we got a lot of great submissions of rock stories. There were so many touching ones I thought we should post them. Here are stories on how people discovered and connected with rock music.... Mark Sanderson I remember listening to the great sounds of t.rex and bowie as a small child on the radio with my mum and unlike other small boys I didn't want to be batman or the bionic man they didnt play guitars. When I was 7 I saw a band on t.v that shook my world it was the sex pistols and 36 years later im still the same.along with my punk rock I totally adore the 50s pioneers my biggest regret is I will never see the hillbilly cat the real elvis presley live or gene vincent and eddie cochran.

What was your first tattoo? Are you now covered in ink? I've always appreciated the art and beauty of well done tattoos. I vowed from the beginning to only get quality work done of things that really matter to me. 2006 I got my first tattoo, I currently have more and plan to gradually get more over the course of my life.
